my hill opens tomorrow and already has 8ft of snow, and I can't go because of stupid homework.
Just thought I'd share my sorrow:(

Homework is what the night is for. If its opening day, go skiing, then do homework after.

Pretty sure nowhere else in North America has that much snow, so you're gonna let HOMEWORK get in the way? Hell,  that's disgraceful.

I was up at Powder King last year, made the trip from Kelowna, it took us like 8 hours.   SOOOOO much snow...I was skiing knee deep POW in late March..Im definitely going back this year. 

Checked out their website today...

Alpine Base - 235cm...
Mid-Mountian - 175cm...

I don't think their website is very accurate though. Its said 175 mid mnt for like the last 3 weeks.

One of my friend's buddies went sledding up there on Thursday, and said there was around 8ft, but true enough that could be off.

Personally I don't ever look at the snow report there cause they're even close to accurate.

ha couldn't work the shit out.

I go to college about 4 hours from the hill, and I would had to go home to pick up my skis and shit (which is on the way). But I don't have a car so I would to have had to catch a Grey Hound to my home town the day before, then spend the night at my house, then steal my parent's car, drive 2 hours to the hill, ski (which would have been awesome I'm sure), then spend another night at home. Then catch the grey hound the next day again. Honestly I would have done it had i not had 3 papers due next week nad exams right around the corner. Or if I owned a car.

I'm not going to school next semester, and my parents are renting a cabin there over Christmas so I had to be 'mature' for a change of pace. So hopefully there will be plenty of pow left in two weeks when all this school jazz is done!

I'm in college not high school

I'll ask some people who went yesterday how much snow there was and get a more accurate picture. But  for doubting me, I'll post a pic that someone posted on their facebook page.

I didn't take this pic, it was from last season not sure when, but theres always way more snow at top.

some people take college seriously since their parents/themselves are shelling out thousands of dollars a year to go. try actually doing you homework maybe you could get all a's.

and you sound like a douche bag bragging about not doing homework in college, this isn't highschool anymore, not doing your work isn't 'cool', this is the real world.

Again that picture is from last season, I was just trying to show the pow of PK. The 8ft of snow was rumors at my school could be wrong.
