ive only seen a few pictures of people that were skiing in like 5/6 feet of pow and had snorkels so they could breath. has anyone actually done this, and is it like a once in 5 years kind of thing? if u have any pics please post them, because this sounds insane

yeah, its no joke, its for when you're skiing in really deep powder, and you're getting constant face shots, you cant be inhaling snow all the time. i really wish i could say that i've skied wiht a snorkel and actually needed it

Humm it is a joke. I've skied many days that were snorkle days, you just pull the collar of your coat up. A snorkle would freeze anyways.

done it...you need it for sledding sometimes too...you just hook it up to your helmet.

the mouthpiece sometimes also acts as somewhat of a mouth guard...

5/6 feet is only 10 inces, not really deep
you dont have to listen to me.... my opinion is just as invalid as your.

people at bridger last year used snorkels when they got over 101 inches in 72 hours. no joke, i will do it sometime, maybe tomarrow, even though we only got 3 inches today
binding destruction count: 3 so far this season, one pair of lines and two pairs of rossis: what will be next?



this is your stage: you can use it to its fullest, waste your opportunity, or show us how stupid you can act. what will you choose?

Heh, I've wished I had one before. It can get ridiculous at Alta. Can't see, can't breathe, it can get a little panicky when you've been under for a few seconds and can't catch a breath. It's mostly a running joke though, cause if you can't breathe, you can't normally see where you're going either, so it's only kind of useful I think...

Haha, man, this is Newschoolers.com, not TGR. Let's keep the real ski threads on TGR and come on here to laugh at all the idiots here.

NS has become the official gathering of the world's dumbest people.
