Perfect spring skiing at Heavenly,

That's not powder skiing, Chai-tea.

I don't see where he claimed it was powder skiing? I agree with you that
3D skiing is at the essence of powder skiing but you apparently are
ignoring current post content in favor of continuing a previous
discussion. Move on...let's have new arguments and blistering repartee.

Especially the "blistering repartee" part.- Hide quoted text -

Ah, yes. When a freak threatens to shoot me and asks for my home
address, and you post that address, you're engaging in an rsa version
of "blistering repartee." When you lie and defame and make up
whoppers, that's rsa blistering repartee.
How about you show up in person and engage in blistering repartee?
Oh, yeah, forgot. That balls thing again.

Excuse me, Wack Job? Are you questioning ANYONE's veracity? Still
waiting for that call from SPD, pppppppuuuuuussssssyyyyyyy.
Hey, I was just up at Whistler skiing with a couple of the local guys
who showed up.....when you didn't have the nads. I treated them to a
few of your more creative and completely ridiculous excuses for being
such a coward. Kept everyone amused on the lift laughing at you.

We're probably splitting hairs here but I can powder ski in about boot
top in the right kind of snow. There might be a bump at the bottom but
still ride the arc and float the majority of the turn. Especially as
speed builds.

With wide enough ski underfoot snow this deep can feel like powder as well.

Well I think we know that's not for me. Primarily because with a "wide
enough ski" 5' of snow would feel the same way. My POV is that from
traditional skis and years and years of skiing and slight variations
in technique.

So you don't see how he "flow" through the snow? Yup, narrow
perception. See him carry poles? That's his "powder day," and his
"powder" definition is, if you cannot make a snowball out of the snow,
it is "powder." And look the tracks he left behind, no clean cut
edges, i.e. the snow doesn't stick together. Yes, that's a "powder
day," so it's "powder skiing."

Talking about yourself in the third person, now?

And that is not powder skiing. It just isn't.

Whatever you say, I've heard you Whistlerers only know how to ski 6
feet of powder,

"If there is 6 feet of powder tomoorow on Whistler , I can ski like
Norman Kretuz." Who the heck is "Norman Kretuz"?
