0 sympathy

i can count on my hands how many times ve skiied more than 8 inches of "powder"

i ski ice everyday, but its only ice if theres fish under it i suppose

more lack of sympathy because you still at least live in an amazing state

im definitely not jealous

I know what you mean. I never realized how lucky I was to ski Grand Targhee every day. We would ski a foot of fresh pow like it was nothin and throughout the year get 20+ inch storms. Now I'm stuck with Bogus Basin and we get hyped after 6 inches

also zero sympathy, I live in utah and "8-12 inches in the late afternoon" yesterday somehow translated to two inches of dust on sunbaked shit this morning.

At least you aren't stuck in Kansas like I am. I consider you lucky for even being near the mountains.

Gahhh that snow needs to come south! Wish I could've made it up there for this storm, oh well, it's gotta come sooner or later I imagine. And for those dudes hating on OP, he was simply stating that he finally realized how fortunate he was growing up now that he can't shred it every day. I'm originally from NY, a place much like many of you are complaining about. Moved to CO this winter and couldn't be happier, you guys just gotta make it happen! There will  always be a time and a place for you, just gotta figure out where and when...
