Kids Out west take their mountains for granted

Yes they do, i live in wisconsin and when ever i go out west the last place i go is the park. I will hit the pipe before the park though. But the first thing that i go to is the mountain. I go out west and i see u kids skiing the park on a powder day. I guess that is a good thing because that gives me more powder.

this reminds me of when i was up at Lake Louise (i live in ontario) and i was riding this lift with a kiod and he was complaining to his mom about how much it sucked and how it was too cold and that panorama was better and that he wanted to go home. If that is not taking sumthing for granted who knows what is

Powder everyday, what are you talking about. I live in fricken ohio, but I've taken my trips, and they don't have powder everyday, they might get a couple nice big dumps a month, but theres plenty of time when the mountain sux w/ massive rockage and such.

im sure there are people out west who ride powder on a powder day, but they probably just like park more, like me. I live in the east, and I imagine I would be spending most of my time in the park when i go to bc next year.


if i gave a shit, you would smell it.

or not!!! steamboat is the ghetto of the ski industry cause we are around all these big places and we are a big place as well. no no no, we're like the projects of the ski industry. just come here. we get good snow but we are comparitively flat (for the rest of CO) and our park designers are like that 100 monkeys at 100 typwriters thing, except w/ retards instead of monkeys.

Do whatever you want. If you are skiing, who cares if your in the park on a pow day. Plus it helps me learn tricks when I don't have to worry about an icy landing. Not that I would be in the park on a blue bird pow day or anything... damn you people out west...

when conditions are epic on the mountain then ride the mountain, when conditions are epic in the park then ride the park.

bill you dont understand that living in the mountains you have that possibility. you can pick and chose what to do since our conditions, especially at mammoth are so epic.

yes i agree that it is pointless to ride park on a powder day, but fuck who cares? the more kids in the park the better, then we have less to contend with for freshies.

i sure as hell do not take my mountain for granted, i grew up in wisconsin at the same place as billdance. i made the choice to move to a real mountain and take every day with the same stoke i had when i first moved there.

dont stereotype people bill, especially since you dont know what you are talking about, just because you are friends with nate doesnt mean you know shit. so calm down.

i live in washington and trust me my friends and I all take advantage of the entire mountain, the parks fun but hell you can build a kicker anywhere thats the great part about the sport no matter how shitty the conditions you can find something fun to do and when the ski gods smile down and give us massive pow we enjoy it. So hopefully all of you who aren't near the sweet stuff will make do and probably progress the sport more because of all the time you will spend in the park

Dirty i couldnt agree with you more on that, i was talking about the kids that just ski park and thats it. And the kids who can just do tricks and not ski. Like most kids at tyrol. (not naming names)

not all of us on the west coast get powder everyday. i live in washington. and we don't get that many pow days. and when there are pow days we ski the whole mountain.

meh, when i first moved to fernie...it started to snow one day, and didn't stop for like 2 weeks. I began to live by the 20cm rule. Less then 20, i'd go to the hill at noon, and sesh the soft park, more then 20, i'd ride the mountain at first chair and ride until all my favourite spots were tracked, then hit the park if i felt like it. Once the avy situation is stable, i'd hit the backcountry for a day or 2. You definitly don't take it for granted. When there's 30cms or more on the ground, there aren't many locals, if anyone in the park. Though i've actually heard people complain that there was TOO much snow on a couple days, definitly not locals though.

Anyways, i had to suffer through 15 years of skiing on a shitty ontario mound that hand no snowmaking, grooming or terrain park. If it bothers you as much as it bothered me that other people had the shit in the west, move west asap. Life is better there.

I agree with all of yall who says who the hell cares what people ride on any condition day. I mean why are you thinking of the people and what they should doing. Just go do what you would do. Damn do you care about thoughs people?

man u should all quit your winging. i grew up on the east coast, thought it was mad, till i went west. and east coast became shit. then i came to australia, where i get to ski once or twice a year, and now eastcoast seems like bloody heaven. so quit your whinging untill u know what it is really like to have bad winters.

I wish I had a nice flat area, where I could see for a long ways without having to get up on top of something to see over stuff.
Like maybe a few rolling hills might be nice, but nothing too steep.
I have to put up with these goddamn steep mountains and shit, it gets really frustrating.

HHHHHHAAAAAA HHHHHAAAAA!

Why would you live in the east? I just don't get it. Perhaps someone could enlighten me?
