if its only like 7 inches or less, then park, cause the park is fun as hell when its somewhat powdery, but if its much more than that then pow for sure. my usualy powder day is like this, get there right about when the mountain opens, ski pow till about 1 when it usually starts getting too skied off, then go to the park for a couple hours then leave,

Whistler's one of the few exceptions to the rule.  Pow day =/= park. it's that simple

But if the bowls / peak lifts are closed due to avy, i'd probably go hit up the parks cause there is some gnarly tree runs / pow runs right next to the parks.  But if there is pow to be hit anywhere else, the park is the last thing on my mind.

on a powder day I usualy enjoy staying at home and answering threads about park on powder days because there are so many! I also enjoy using the searchbar

oh and yah I always swing by the park unless its an epic pow day

If there is more than 6 inches, it is pow, no question.

Very well spoken, and if your looking for powder in the park then maybe you should explore the mountain a hell of alot more because there are way better lines out there then down some blue run in the park. not to be a dick or anything but i would be imbarassed to be asking this question!

well in whsitler they usually dont open the high alpine till about 11 on a big day cos of avalanche, so the pow ur skiing is usually just pow on groomers (which is sick), but i think u may as well ski the pow thtas in the park and then hit the peak chairs later when they open. so then ur getting the best of both m8

the only reason i would ski park over pow is because i dont know how to ski Pow...

so yes i would ski park instead of pow, because it is fun and all, but sucks and frustrates me, when i cant last more than 20ft, without gettin bucked...i just have never been taught or learned how to ski it
