If you could go skiing any where in any conditions at any time, where, when, and what would it be like?

its funny that all of you guys say that you want to ski waist and chest deep pow. do any of you actually know how hard it is to ski in that much snow, having skiied in waist deep pow alot, its not easy work, your legs get tired in like 3 runs, and u have to know what your doiung, even landing in that shit is hard. unless you live in utah or somewere that can get that much snow, i think that u shouldnt say' yeah i would want a chest deep pow day'. when in reality you wouldnt be able to move.

thats just my 2 cents

Waist deep Powder at Jackson, with Line Prophet 130's..

With the tram still there. And perhaps X&Y Chute open.

Better?

I ended up skiing about 6 days this year where the powder was going over my shoulders, so I'd say I've figured out how to ride it. That, and the snow we get around here is usually super light so it's not too hard to ski in at all, all you do to land a cliff is lean back a bit and let the snow buck you onto your feet.
