Snowbladers on powder days...

rugbydave · 2006-02-08 14:25:34

I've been seeing more and more of these morons up the mountain, even on pow days and I can't quite figure out what the fuck they are thinking? I mean, why would you ride snowblades period is a decent question, but why ride them at Blackcomb, on 7th, on a powder day? Just doesn't seem like it would work it real well... thoughts?

no way man.. its so hot. But what I did is mounted telemark bindings on my blades... so now I have tele-blades. They are epic for pow man. Nobody can keep up or anything.. its uber sickness.

the trick is to get the powder-blades, you know 98cm as opposed to the regular 89. SOOOO much floatation man.

i tried it once. I figured "this so obviously fuckin stupid, maybe theres some secret reason why they do it?"

turns out there isn't, and I landed on my face more than once going into... ungroomed snow? Horrible experience. They're all just idiots

what about midgets? or tiny children? Do you think they'd benefit from snowblades on pow days, seeing as how they'd be as long as kids skis, but fatter?
