It's been too long. Never had more than 2" at a time last year. I don't know happiness.

I mean a pow day is whatever you want it to be, 6 inch minimum for a 'pow day' in my mind. That used to be my rule in college, less than 6 inches id go to pc and more than 6 id go to alta. But these days, if it snows I'll go ski laps around the mountain but I also live at the base of pcmr, so its a bit different. I'll venture over to the cottonwoods if it snows more than 10, also different because its a longer drive from pc than from SLC.

Weekend'ish warrior(thur/fri/sat off)in Colorado Springs. 4+ for me is a must get out day, 6+ is fat stick category.

Depends on the year. Two seasons ago I wouldn't flinch for 6 inches. Last season I nearly crashed my car speeding up to bug sky for four inches.

Depends where you are also, in Australia i feel like any new snow classifies as a pow day. But somewhere else like Japan, I'd say enough to cover your tracks for the next run

sooo true. anything over an inch is a pow day in Oz

In minnasota? like an inch

Everyday is a powder day if you look hard enough.

eheathless than 6 inches id go to pc and more than 6 id go to alta.

This is true. In Japan, 15cm of fresh (unless it fell in the last 15 minutes on top of 60cm of newish snow) may as well not be there, it's so light and soft that you can't float on it even with the fattest planks.

To me anything from 1-20cm is more like "freshies"

20-40cm is "pow"

40cm+ = "deep pow"

But it depends quite a lot on the density of the snow and what it fell on.

Too Many variables.

If it snows 15cm of blower on top of a month old death crust it's not going to ski very good.

On the other hand: if it only snowed 5cm, but it's the forth day of a cycle with refreshes every day, it's going to be pretty damn epic.

If the landings are soft and you're in the white room, you got yourself a powder day. So yes, that means the only way you're going to know is by getting out there and seeing for yourself. You don't want to be that guy who reads the snow report in the morning and decide it's not worth it, only to find out it was all time and you missed out.

Like 2 inches

Any new snow up to like 6 inches is freshies

Then from 6 inches up is a powder day

In Michigan we don't get pow days we get snowdrifts.

MinggEveryday is a powder day if you look hard enough.

lookin aint gonna gits it

git high and go gits it

Where I ski, if they make snow overnight, it's a pow day. #midwest

If i can't see the ice its a pow day. In my mind, I had quite a few pow days, on the other hand, i didnt. Midwest probs
