Grass/Dirt skiing

Does anyone else have fun experiencing bare dirt spots towards the springtime at their home hill. And/or just random thaws during the middle of the year due to warm temps. They're so fun to gap and ski across. Makes me feel like such a rebel.

This reminds me of a picture in some ski magazine a long time ago where there was a dude getting pulled behind a car on wet grass. Or the "best use of your roommates skis" picture in SBC Skier.

last fall, maybe mid september, we got a couple inches of snow, and i hiked up to where they have the half pipe carved out of the ground, and proceeded to ski over WAY more grass and dirt patches than snow. there were huge tufts of grass stuck in my bindings when i was done. sparks were shooting off rocks and shit. it was hilarious and fun.

Dirt skiing would fuck up your bindings big time

grass skiing is so fun. if you know where to go, its awesome, because you dont hit rocks.

In ny we do the opposite, we ski on grass and look for snow.
