Powder day douchery? Is spring slush superior?

MastePoleWhackerWeekend pow days are always gonna be fucked. I had a banger pow day today with no lines, because it’s wednesday.

I do love some spring slush though and those days are some of the most fun I’ve had on skis

3maniaLast week was all slush and park, today at Snowmass was 15" of blower and no one around. I love me some slushy park laps, but cmon, repeated over head blower pow is so rare that I'm def going Powder Day!

theabortionatorI feel you missed the point. And also 15" is hardly overhead pow. I feel that's misleading from the start. Even if it's blowing over head that doesn't define the dept. There is bottomless powder and 15" blowing when you turn is different.

Also this isn't the point. Maybe you're mountain is a rare one, or you haven't noticed pow day douchery. Vibes used to go up when it snowed. In some ways they do but they draw in the biggest emergence of unapologetic assholes every time.


Even hearing the people that won't drive up unless it's a pow day confirms it. They miss some of the best days of the year and are 50% more likely to be complete fucking assholes to everyone they encounter.

3maniaWell it was super light snow so it was def blowing over my head, maybe if you were as good a skier as me you could make the snow move a little more. On the steep shit it was def overhead. No one was here so no douchery. In general on pow days, or any other day, I don't go up until 11:30 so i by pass most of the BS that seems to upset you so much.

3maniaExample of less than 15" being overhead

eheathyou can get 2" over your head if you try hard enough haha

3maniado i look like i'm trying that hard?

DeebieSkeebiesOh boy to some of us look silly, total egg on the face moment. I do like slush but this week has been fun and almost 30" of pow in mid april isn't terrible either. And for anyone thats gonna say "oooo its gona go back up to 80 in SLC next week", you're probably right but we just got like 3 more weeks of skiing added on.

eheaththis snow is just delaying my golf grind, but im happy people got some nice shredding in.

DeebieSkeebiesyeah we're trying to get going @glenwild but we're now delayed a few more weeks but eh, really good skiing out there

eheathit was a joke man calm down

3maniaI'm overly calm. I just asked a question. Here's a photo dump to demonstrate my calmness

eheathyeah i imagine all of the clubs were feeling pretty good about opening soon, but like you said gonna be awhile now.

theabortionatorSo update on feels after this week. Got some really good uncrowded days in, rode pow every day.

I still resent the big pow days as described. I agree with eheath, you can make 2 inched overhead in a white room, honestly a half inch.

The only reason this hasn't gotten too out of hand imo is that people got there spring pow fix, got their photos etc. They're over it.

It's been really good but i still love ending on good sunny park days.

Ill make the most of whatever, i got some great lines in, but I stand to my original statement after a week of hot lapping pow.

Vibes have been better since it's late season, but spring vibes are superior.

DeebieSkeebiesK if we're gonna talk about pow day douchery, someone call out this 3mania dude cuz he's so fired up over someone telling him he didn't ski deep turns lol. Chill out bud and be happy it snowed.

r00kieHad my first western state powder frenzy day. Lived up to the hype.
