idk what the trail is called, but at Park City, there is a pretty steep, long, wide trail that goes down to the jupiter chair. that i remember absolutly bombing down dragging my knuckles and then doing the same switch. probably the best groomer i hae ever skied

I used to know a groomer at my local hill and when he would groom at night, a bunch of us would sit on the back and and get the fresh tracks.

and let me tell you a freshy groomed run(like 5 minutes) feels like you're skiing in like maybe 3 inches of powder. Like not a challenging feeling or anything just a nice feeling.

Man this makes me miss winter.

Haha yeah man i love carving switch. The best is when you pass middleage/old people that have never even thought about going backwards on skis and they come up to you and say things like "wow that is so amazing you made my day!".

Instructing at Whistler we used to go up the lifts at 8am before the kids came at 9...one morning in the spring, it stayed about 1 degree (celcius) overnight so the cords were perfectly soft and nice and grippy....we made it up the peak and bombed down to creekside, 5 of us, no stopping, with fresh cords......it was actually one of the most fun runs of my life...we didnt have to worry about blind rollers or anything cause no one was on the mountain....ripping corners and airing large off the rollers and roads.....**drool**

groomers can make your day when its fresh packed snow....if its ice groomers-shit suck. but if it snows during the night and they groom in the morning the snow feels amazing

Who here has ever just clicked into a pair of Super Gs and just rocketed down the mountain for a day? Its fun, if you  haven't tried it yet. It reminds me of when I used to race.

Being an ex-racer, bombing down fresh groomers is easily as good as hitting park on a good day. Get the speed adrenaline going.

Oh man best run ever came when the steepest run on our hill (not saying much) had just been groomed an hour before closing with fresh fallen snow from that morning. The groomer wasn't even off the trail yet when me and my friend bombed down it making the most wide and fast turns we've ever made in our lives. The snow was so grippy that we could carve as hard as we could without even the thought of slipping out crossing our minds. Yeah I'd have to say that was one of the best runs of my life.

I can't say I dream about skiing groomers very much. I do drool over the memory of getting 3 sets of first tracks when Bridger got 80" overnight, however. That was insane!
