Fernie, BC. mid Feb 2005

50cm overnight + very low moisture content = skiing blind due to maximum amount of face shots in truly bottomless pow.

the east coast doesnt get much white but 2008 I was doing some powat Le Relais after 30cm of snow. The whole morning the mountain was mine. I has a pretty amazing time at Jay peak last year when jay got 20 cm overnight. The glades were awesome...there was no happier time

This was yesterday, at Asahidake, the tallest mountain in Hokkaido, Japan. (Seemingly little known fact: there is more to skiing in Japan than just Niseko!)

Deepest would be Whistler...first tracks down flute bowl after it had been closed for 4 days with 4 ft of fresh.

Bes overall pow would be Big Sky, MT.

and I wouldn't say your opinion counts for shit because you weren't there.

I've had "bottomless" days on 15cm days. Hell, more often than not I ski bottomless pow with 0cm reported overnight. you going to tell me I'm wrong?

yep, I hear ya.
My deepest day looked like the shot above from Japan... at Jay Peak in late Feb 2009. However, you *could* feel the bottom.
In Utah and Wyoming, I've had plenty of BC days where you couldn't feel the bottom no matter how hard you tried, but wouldn't sink in consistently more than 12" or so.
Guess which I prefer.
