So I'm on the lift today and we are talking about going out of bounds to ski some freshies and this guy next to me says that pow sucks and that it's all about park. Later in the day I'm with one of my boarder friends and I'm talking to him about it and he says that he also hates pow. How is that even possible? Thought please.

Punctuation marks are great. Don't get me wrong, I use them in every paper I write, but I prefer not to use them on NS.

well you can always ski like ahmet daldali does in the pow if you are a park skier, wear tall ts and an open jacket.

but seriously, if you know how to ski pow, its the best!

True powder can take away fear if you land in it. But powder can be just as dangerous or even more dangerous than park. Sure you can hit your head on a rail or land upside down on hardpack snow but you could be skiing powder and hit a tree or a rock get stuck in an avy. Powder doesnt really take away they fear in my opinion. People just feel that its less scary. But I get what your saying

Honestly, these threads and opinions all boil down to trying to get people to agree with you, not whether park or pow is actually "better."

Personally, I think everyone should go work on their rail game all day every day.

My thoughts is that its all fun. If theres fresh pow though, I would not be found in the park, for sure.

I'll probably sig that. But yeah any thing in the park can't be compared to powder. And your friends don't like it cus they don't know how to ride powder. Just like people who suck at jumps don't like jumps

skiing powder > sex > skiing freshness> skiing park

(first two are interchangeable)

Honestly had no idea anyone didnt like pow, i guess people dont like pow the way i dont like park

Pow is a special feeling that rivals almost anything.
Park is fun to mess around in the spring for me, especially since Baker has a shitty park.
