Park or Powder?

[jayfrizzo]

So last winter I finally had the opportunity to not work and be a shred bum. It ruled.

But, at the beginning of the season I was thinking that the raddest thing about not working was I could hit up every pow day. However at the end of the season I was sick of running to shit on storm days (I ride at The Bird), being cold, yadda yadda yadda. Sounds lame I know.

What happened was I ended up getting stoked on park. Warm soft snow. Killer visibility. Way easier to hang with my friends and feed off each other, all that goofy stuff.

Now that I'm back in a cube, I wonder what'll happen this season. We just had a big storm cycle roll through, and it was so much fun riding pow even though it was like 3 degrees. Sitting at my desk now I can't wait for this weekend to hit up some rails.

So what would you rather ride? Park? Pow? Or shralp the Pow in the morning then park in the afternoon (currently my fave, but it's a rare day).

good story

pow on a pow day, park on a groomed day.

if its foggy, park is better.

 

[peter.doubleu]

when ever you have a chance to do pow do it you can ride park when ever.

 

[-_-Johnny-_-]

pow rocks.. park is lame..=)

 

[jakes]

ok lets be honest though, if anyone puts park over pow anyday everyone would rip them to shit, so i'm guessing no ones gonna say that, even if they feel that way

 

[jetski]

There are probably so many kids on this site that never get to ski pow so their only choice is groomed or park.

Me? Pow all the way. I shred every last possible stash and then I head to the park.

 

[blkmskier]

Combination, on the east coast when we have powder, powder all the way! other wise the park.

 

[radskier]

agreed!

 

[DrewR.]

powder in the morning park in afternoon

 

[linemaverick16]

powder all with out a doubt

 

[guillermolongjon2]

i would actually ski park over pow anyday..ill say it

 

[SkierJulie]

when it dumps, ski pow. when it doesn't ski park.

 

[dan1080]

this kid prolly doesnt even pole plant when he is skiing....

 

[mk2]

^exactly

 

[guillermolongjon2]

[dan1080]

I live in the Midwest so if i can get any powder im there and after its skied out i ride the park

 

[BCKicker540]

morning pow, afternoon park

 

[zepscratch]

couldnt have said it better

 

[ERIEcoastSKIER]

i live in ohio so park but if i go anywhere with powder im definately in it

 

[fizzlefry]

no competition- - powder for sure.

 

[strato144]

i understand ur delema, skiin pow is awesome, i just moved to colorado from the east and skied a few pow days and its awesome but skiin park is just as fun. You can really see your progression compared to riding pow. idk its a toss up for me..if it dumps i would ride pow untl the freshies are gone and then go ski park.

 

[rippinbumpskier]

id love pow if the east coast had any

 

[rachael575]

i only ride park when theres no pow

 

[^NewYork]

I dont use my poles much and i ski big mountain 75 percent of the time

 

[D-40]

park

 

[President]

i ride quebec parks so theres no powder

 

[levistewart]

both

 

[lalalalaura]

i probably haven't made a real pole plant since i was about 11.... and i ski "big mountain" probably 65% of the time...

 

[leone]

i'll ride pow all day if it's good but typically i'll ski the rest of the mountain in the morning and than when it starts to get skied off, i got to the park later in the day and chill there cause the conditions don't change as drastically there

 

[easson19]

no such thing as pow where i live so park

 

[levistewart]

word thats how i role

 

[steevner]

no pow here, building some bc jumps is remotely a mix of park and powder, but i gotta say decide for yourself which u like better. but if theres a shitty park this year don't waste ur time

 

[SBP]

they both rock my socks. they are both amazing but i ride park most of the time and when i get to ride some nice powder its incredible.

 

[Shradam]

POWDER!!! No questions. The Park is there everyday.

 

[cab_D]

of course powder. fuck.
