Backcountry, because you get to travel so much. And when you're not, you can still hit the park whenever you want

Park skier. Powder is really fun but i find a good park day more fun than a good powder day

Powder! I rarely get to ride powder in SoCal so my vote goes to powder. Only time I get some fresh tracks is right after a big storm at Mammoth, local resorts like Mt. High and Bear rarely see powder (I'm talking about a foot of fresh snow or more).
Speaking of big storms, there is one this week so I'm hoping to get up to Mammoth Friday night.

Your response is about as stoopid as this thread.

1) park is fun. But a pow day kicks any parks ass anyday of the week.
2) Pow is way more free than park. Floating around, droping pillows and cliffs. Nothing compares.
3) Stop making this thread.

you can do park stuff in the backcountry more easily than you can do backcountry stuff in the park

bacountry. you can ski backcountry for way longer, theres a lesser chance of getting hurt, and you get to travel the world and ski crazy pow.

Well that depends. I would rather take a crash in the park over any sized avalanche any day.

Can you please explain a bit more about this poll?

If you are using it for a paper, I wouldn't.. there is significant sampling bias in the way this survey is created

Delorme is awesome, but I doubt he makes "much" money competing...

SKI-BOSS. Nuff said- do park when you are younger, and when you get too old for dat shee you have a solid foundation and can move on and slay the pow for 20 more years. Win-win.

Park all day... dont get me wrong I fucking love skiing powder and shredding steeps its absolutely amazing. But the money is in park skiing thats where the media is and the spot light is and that is what I would be after. Those park dudes must get some time to get out of th epark once and a while and freeski.
