There was 6 inches of fresh snow today
and I absolutely hated skiing in it!  I don't know what it was, but I love skiing
when it's almost icy out, but still powdery.

Am I the only one?

the thing is that you ski 6 inches of powder almost like a groomer, its not like skiing powder. or are you trying to pass off powder as super wet shit that all of the flatties talk about on the lifts to me and say how great and powdery it is when it defiiatly isn't. But seriously, if you don't know how to ski powder its quite reasonible to say that you hate it.

definitely


but it might have still been a serious question


and for an answer......it was probably just wet snow...if you've ever skied in waist deep fluff, you'll never wanna ski park again or any of that

There is nothing better than skiing a few feet of powder where you are just floating and have no contact with the base. Its so soft and fluffy, and you cant explain it to someone who hasnt skied something like that

skiing was invented to ski on snow.  POWDER = SNOW. that's my 2 cents.  How could you not like skiing in powder?  Ice is what cocktails are for....
