In a van.... down by the river
I got on the boards yesterday for the first time this season. And was treated to boot->shin deep snow in places. I guess if I'm only gonna get in a couple days this year, I'd better call it a powder day! :thumb:

I did get treated to finding a "secret" run on the mountain that I'd never heard of before that was really sweet. Tight trees gave way to wide-spaced trees, which led into a really nice ~15ft wide gully that was full of niiiiice soft snow.

My body is a complete wreck today. :D

dude, you've been crowing about the POW superiority of CO over CA for weeks, and this is the first time you've been out? DHG could have been skiiing/boarding on hamster cage shavings to yr champagne powder and she'd still be ahead.

Sad but true........ first and maybe only day out. Hopefully my wife'll get a few days in before the end of season.

That doesn't change the superiority of Colorado snow. When we get some. :mumble:

Utah is the pinnacle of powder skiing, though. Even I know that. :p

Huh? I was talkin bout him...he has young kids that he uses as an excuse to not ski...I have no children, nor will I have any...so when I'm old and decreped (sp?) even more so than now...I will be the drooling mess in the old folks home, whereas, SS will at least have his children to change HIS diaper and wipe the drool from his chin...

They're not an excuse. They're simply *why* I can't get out skiing more right now. It's just a fact of life.

Just wait until they're all skiing age. I'm *guaranteed* at least one of them will want to ski *every* day of the winter. :thumb:

In a web in the corner of your room
Chimming in...hello...? Lost count of my days. You're first day out and you're a wreck? I'm still a wreck after I can't count the days. Just keep on notching it up when the body recovers (this time is was due to brochitis). 6 friggin' inches of heavy here and the bumps were what dream were made of this weekend! You could have gone as fast as you dared and still soooooo soft :D SS we need to go make turns together and let me show you what the 2nd most famous thing Steamboat is known for, friggin' rubber knees bumps skiers :D

Yer on, mate. Although every time I'm at Steamboat and at the top of something like Tornado or Twister I get pulled into the trees between the runs....... :confused: :thumb:

You live in UTAH for chris'sakes. I have a 4 lift 200 acre resort to work with here. Therefore, I get to knock on those who are a bit more fortunate in terms of their location. Although I guess since I have been up over 30 times this year compared to your 1, I should lay off a little bit :p :D

:think: Have any off you guys from Colorado or out west actually ever skiied in the east or are you just repeating what you heard somewhere? :confused:

No one would argue the fact that there's bigger mountains out west and definitely better and more snow, but if you think there's nothing but ice in the east you either ski at the wrong places or have never been here. We actually have powder, glades, and bumps on our slopes, believe it or not. :eviltongu

Utah is a blanket statement for the midwest :p . In any case, its still better then the snow out here. One day, it was so wet I actually came to a complete stop while riding straight down a run :dead:
