For Everyone That's Complaining About the Current Conditions

[wrichmond]

the skiing is still fun. Here's a Crystal POV to prove it.No ground breaking skiing, but it proves you CAN have fun with incredibly subpar snow.

Uhh skiing is always fun, but it should be even more fun this time of year. You expect me to sit and watch 4 ft of fresh snow instead fall as rain and not bitch?~

 

[PJS.]

this.

i still have fun, i build mini jibs and hit them, i skim ponds, but id still prefer pow, or atleast some decent coverage so the parks arent death to my skis

 

[iFail]

Exactly.

I used to do more of the kind of skiing you (OP) have in your video because it's still really fun, now my hypermobility-syndrome-violated-knees can't really take that, so having these conditions really does suck!

 

[Blake.P]

while i would rather be skiing powder, and that is why i am bitching, i am at least glad that they got the park this year so i am not confined to groomers all day

 

[bakedpow]

I bought a pass meaning everyday that i don't go is money that i spent. Fortunately i have already payed and the snow will be back eventually.

I'd like to lay the blame on all you assholes who were getting so amped about the supposed 'big La Nina year' back in October. YOU CURSED IT.

 

[division.bell]

Quoted for the truth.

 

[bakedpow]

Don't tell me you were not a little bit excited?

 

[SRskierSFS]

...its january in the pnw. la nina happens late in the season

 

[vandersteeze]

DING DING DING we've got ourselves a facking winner right here

 

[Scott29~]

Eh looking back on NOAA's data from past la nina years the increase in precip well spread out through nov-march~

 

[sagesnow]

i wana see some crystal park edits.

 

[bakedpow]

Thats not always true. Cliff Mass predicted this winter would be a wild one. These warm ups periodically are typical for La Ninas years aswell .

 

[jennyboots]

the lifts are still turning, go out and have some fun.

 

[division.bell]

For a good laugh or two, or possibly none at all, check out Larry Schick's 'Pow Alert' sent out this morning.

 

[dex.]

that didnt look very fun

 

[ReignMan]

just gnar lPr

 

[powderdrunkie]

ya this winter has already been a wild one. not so much for us though.

 

[snowbombz]
