i love groomers. and i think people dont give enough credit to how fun some fresh corduroy can be early in the morning. anyone else like going mach 4 and feeling your skis turn? park rats who cant set edges need not apply. lol jk.

Ya, If you take the T bar or imperial you can get to the top of 7 if you traverse then get a pretty killer powder run right down to the start of ore cart or something on the far skiers left of 7.  Love 7 you can ski the whole run switch no problem and everyone thinks you are a god.  I want breck to open.

Groomers after a nice dusting of 2-4 (eastcoast dusting lawls) are sooo tit.

I never really appreciated carving on groomers until I learned how to longboard, then I realized I had been doing the same thing forever.

its soo sick to just lay down the hardest fucking turns, or even to just straitline to the bottom, and stop as fast and hard as you can right before the liftline.

one time at hood me and this guy mark poached the fresh groomed area at the top where the ski racers always go, it was dead flat for what seemed like miles, and just tried to see who could go perfectly straight for the farthest distance.

groomers are the shit, so fun to fly down or just goof off. for example, gondolier and perry merril at stowe, a ton of trails at sunday river (especially lollapalooza, such a fun trail) etc.

Human pillions on peak to creek on the downhill course. Epicness

Some mountains have speed zones and they'll clip your ticket for going to fast the key is to not stop when they try to flag you down.
