how is it with you, how is your mountain like?

can you actually ride groomers, or do you have to ride park all the day?

how many of you have the possibility to ride pow and still ride the park?

i mean i was totally into the whole park riding for quite a time but then i realised that there is pow on my home mtn for almost the whole season, not just after it snowed.

the next thing is that riding groomers is awesome if you have some technique to get real fast even on fluffy ar5's. the highest vertical drop on my mtn is about 4000 ft and its awesome to shoot it down in 7 minutes.

so i go riding the pow more often and i just know that this is so much more what i call skiing.

it might be because i am just better in riding pow than i am in the park. i mean, i like to ride park in spring or on glaciers but if i got the possibility to get some pow i have to take it.

how is it with you? do you guys stay in the park, or dont you have the possibility to get some real pow or some nice groomers.

If theres Pow, then i'll ski pow, but if theres not, then its park. I do love a bit of groomer though to piss around on. I went to Ischgl in Febuary last year and it is truly awesome.

I'm out skiing the mountain all the time, I only go into the park if I'm really bored or the snow sucks horribly. As you said before, there's always good snow to be found, so I'm usually out skiing.

I dislike groomers, even though u can go fast. Riding at high speed in the bc is much more satisfying for me.

ya my mountains pretty much suck until febuary. so riding groomers is like sliding over ice, so i usually stick to the park until it gets better

Yea my mountain has a vertical drop of 660 ft. SO our groomers are out of the question and we get pow like 3 times a year so we are left with our parks wich are pretty good.
