I get so much shit from freinds about loving POWDER and back country and i plan on getting better at park but my question is which would you choose Powder or Park. Would you rather go to Swizerland or would you rather go to utah to hit the sweet park?

park is super fun, but if there's any fresh the park is the last thing on my mind.

and there was a thread on this already

of course powder is better, but being able to seize either, whenever, is grand.

I think it depends what you usually ski. My mountain doesn't have a park so usually all I ski are booters, pow, etc. So I'd go with the park.

Oh, and powder can be elusive. I would pick a place that has good terrain so if it does snow, you're set, but also a place that has a good park (or good proximity to a park) so you can still have a blast.

Wait, so people give you shit for not being a park rat?
Honestly I find it difficult to believe this. Yes park is fun, but it's nowhere close to the same plane of awesomeness as a good pow day.

i fail to see how park could ever be considered better than a good day of shredding pow.

Ive always been a parkrat and I am moving to Utah (from east) but to ski powder. I still plan to progress riding park, but just bought my first pair of powder skis and ready to shred.
