well, where i come from i would much rather have slush, i guess it depends how slushy your talking, is it like mostly water and you have alot of puddles around, or is it like just wet snow.

we dont really get pow around here so the gray in pow is better, but a warm blue corn day is OK too.

Would say powder but. . . . I would have to say park with slush because I had the best time this year last week skiing slush with my friends. (not that EC got much pow this season)

the only people that will answer slush are those that live on the east coast.

This thread is ridiculous. Gray bird pow day any day. I guess 85% of my ski days are gray bird/nuking pow days so iv got a slight bias.

im from the east and fuck that. pow days will forever beat slush. that is when they happen. which this year was like once every 5 weeks or so. sadly...

it's kind of true but every single park rat will prefer a slush day like me.

gray day pow days are awesome becuase the snow doesnt get wrecked by the sun.

assuming that its not overly foggy, i like storm riding more than blue bird pow days.

What is this powder you speak of? I've heard other people talk about it and have always wondered what it is.

gray, cold, and powder is usually a requisite for legendary conditions, so I will go with that.

Obviously I'd choose pow first, especially with the season we had. I think my second choice would be blue bird, not hot and not slushy but thats just because ive been skiing slush for 6 weeks now ha

Accidental added suspense a beautiful slush day considering 99% of the time we get the pleasure of riding hockey rinks

I'd choose bluebird slush over an average pow day, say 6-10 inches, but anything over a foot or more id choose a pow day. Doesnt get any better than that

hot = 40 then yes if any higher than that I would want a cold grey day. I never feel like trying anything on new days because it hurts when I smack the ice :(

Both can be fun and it obviously depends on how I feel on any given day, but I'd say 8 times out of 10 I'd answer powder with bad weather. Storm days are the shit, it just keeps getting deeper all day.
