Snowbird's got quite a bit of grapple (and snow) in the last couple days. WHAT?! Don't believe me?

Here's proof:

nice shot.

what the fuck is grapple?

 

[JakeCastDotCom]

grapple is the kind of snow that's almost like hail when it falls-

little bbs of icy snow

Utah - Home of the best grapple on earth

there is a good chance I spelled grapple wrong

 

[Microcosm]

it's like dippin dots! and damn, I want to drop that cliff.

 

[mitchin]

so its like man made snow?

 

[Microcosm]

not really. just imagine dippin dots falling from the sky. at least that's what it was like in VT one time, not sure about Utah in this TR.

 

[titsLOL]

grapple!

Rather than dip and dots I like to call it "snow of the future"

It's not like man made snow, it's more like skiable hail. Man made snow bonds together more. Grapple stays separated, you ski over it and it fills in behind you, it's pretty weird.
