Another comparison is Utah/Interior BC powder is like King Salmon, while
really good snow in the West Coast ski area is more like Sockeye.

I'm gonna take the skin boat to tuna town this year.

Ya just got to go out and cowboy up.

Everybody here is getting all hung up in a definition that, if you
think about it, we all know. Except one person (ok, maybe two. But for
different reasons).

It's just loose snow. It doesn't have to be unskied. I've gone through
skied up snow up to my waist and more. Still powder. And corn is
unskied snow. But it's not powder. An inch or two on crust? I don't
think I'd call it powder skiing, but it's skiing on a little bit of
powder.

What I'm getting at is that I'm pretty sure we all know how to use t
he language. And to some degree we are going in circles that the
retarded are laying out for you. What amazes me is that we seem to
have found two of the most similarly retarded personalities on the
net.

One that tell easily disprovable stories about himself and denies the
proveable or his own statements. Another that post videos,
misidentifies the content, then fights to defend his explaination
against the evidence. We should just let them argue with each other.

the village idiots

Talking about yourself again, you stupid dumb****?

Maybe the new push for bulling restraint will shed some light on the
issues we face with one of them.

The issue is that you lie and defame and harass and stalk while hiding
behind your coward, you dickless freak.
Stop being an asshole, issue is solved. Obviously, you are incapable
of stopping.

The other one is not criminal just a really stupid person incapable of
learning even though he claim to teach but no students have surfaced and
no one buys his rants.
Guess you could call it protecting intellectual property through stupidity.-

Looks to me like you didn't protect anything intellectual. Surely did
not shown any intellectuality. Just the same pathetic, obvious
stupidity.

I have skiied at Jay Peak on a day when I had to go inside to thaw out
my face and fingers after every run and at Mammoth on a day when the
lifts were closed due to weather when I got to the bottom.

Maybe he still has that one piece romper suit from childhood. But as
for cowboy up, well, he means diaper up. Just in case he runs into me.

In Colorado I've been in the freight train whiteout. You could see
them coming. It was a stormy day so we all had all our storm stuff on.
Close up, turn away from the wind, and hold on! Ski until the next
gust. Repeat as necessary.

I've also skied at -10/15 F. Not a real big deal. Just NOTHING
exposed. But with modern hats, neck gaitors, and goggles, that's not
too hard. Though there's not a lot of people out when it's like that,
you sure see more people making turns than just taking the easy way
out and going straight down!

One time at Mammoth, headed off the gondola headed out to Hole in the
Wall I got frostbit by the cold wind. Just that little crack between
the bottom of my goggles and top of my gaitor. It was hot in the sun
after we got off of the top.

I never go out when the snow is warm enough to turn to water when it
hits you. Or your cloths get wet from the outside.

I should rocksy the throcksy one-piece. So very 1999.

But no, I've gone to assless chaps, as it's more ecologically sound
than diapers. Plus I can really clear out a lift line when I shout "I
am Gonar the Incontinent, prepare to be rumbled!"

Worked frickin' awesome at Disneyland.

Week old Meringue is kind of a speciality on the westside of the Cascade
Curtain. *It is sort of like a sub prime loan for skiiers. It looks
alluring, until one gets on the slope... and then one is caught in its
death spiral.

Oh tell me about it. Last season was tough searching and desperation
led me to many patches of snow I'd rather forget.


I wonder what type of snow that snow snakes used to lure their prey?

Based on years of observation, I'd have to say anything powder
looking, but I wonder how the cheater skis will affect this. Some
skiers are, after all, born to bowl.

I have skiied at Jay Peak on a day when I had to go inside to thaw out

I had sort of the same experience in the Canadian Rockies on the Bow
Glacier, where my jacket and pants was freezing up, and any expose skin
felt like liquid oxygen was being poured on it. *However the snow was
great. *

In the Sierras, I think the worst storms I have been in, have after
really beautiful days of skiing.

If I had known they were going to close the lifts, I would have skiied
down to where my car was parked.
