how exactly is there a difference between a chute and a pillow line? or a cliff and a cornice? a peak and a ridge?

so, like... "big mountain competitions" for example... when they're covered in powder and I ski the line for enjoyment I'm "backcountry/powder" skiing, but when it's tracked out and icy, all of a sudden I'm "big mountain" skiing?

Please - explain yourself more throughly, because I don't get it.






Oh yea and wiener - you going to grace your presence this holiday season?

Dude that posted pics fails..

Big Mountain is regarded as freeride which basically is all things off piste

Backcountry is just a sub type of big mountain.

I skied almost entirely big mountain and backcountry until college. There are a lot of really solid up and coming big competitors riders on NS.

Really? We are clasifying sub categories of "Big Mountain", "Freeride" and "Back Country" now?

Guess that means that most people only ski "Side Country" since if you talk to a lot of riders thats what you call anything where you start or end in a resort.

This is all just silly, go skiing and forget the status names!
