PARK VS. POW

would you rather:

-ride backcountry pow at any mountain

-nice set of jibs with soft snow

-freshly cut jumpline with corduroy landings

-something else
 
i've never skied pow in my life, coming from wisconsin, but it is my dream. just by the looks of it i'd probably say it'd be 100x better than park.
 
i prefer to ski down metal drop ins, railings, staircases, and across asphalt, with minimal snow in between
 
rails can get you super frustrated, i suck at jumps therefore

POW ALL DAY ERR DAY! seriously this shouldn't even be a question....
 
This isn't a decision that needs to get made.

Pow when its there, park when it isn't.

I mean WTF else are you going to do... carve?

 
If I was paid to ski, probably park, I think park skiers have more exposure then pow skiers. If I had to choose from the bottom of my heart, POW! Although the deepest I've rode is like 1 foot.
 
i would rather have a sick pow day with REAL pow, not the usually 6 inches on the east coast, but really deep pow

but sense Im on the east, my home mountains park isn't very good, i sick jump line like all 45 feet with perfect lips and nice soft groomed landings would be amazing too

 
from what i know, jibs

but if i had any pow at all id love to try it out... repping eastcoast (wheeew) but srs i hate it cant wait to move west
 
This.

I always enjoy a nice carve sesh every once in a while.

But I love to just carve up groomers switch alllll the time. So much fun :)
 
Hahahahha... don't worry about it. I've ridden like 5 legit pow days in my life... maybe 7. I'm totally raw-ass east coast.

That is what makes this argument silly for most of the 'park rats'. We'd ski pow if it was there, but if you live in a city where there's only tiny mountains then you're shit out of luck.

As a matter of fact, I grew up until I was NINETEEN with no skiers allowed in terrain parks. We didn't have a freestyle club either, so I raced and carved. I basically was about 1 second away from quitting the sport when we were allowed in the parks.

Terrain parks saved skiing. It makes east coast skiing (where something retarded like 70% of skiers live) really, really fun.

 
Nothing at all beats a sunny, slushy park day where every feature is just so legit. Those are some of my best days on skis. Powder is ghood but hyped IMO
 
i just noticed i'm in your sig. also this. carving is fun and so are moguls but i can do it. you either can or can't. With park, I can keep doing.
 
POW POW!

Just riding in it is fun, but finding cliffs to mess around on is the best. nothing beats a slow backflip of a 20 footer into 4 feet of untracked bliss.

the best part: you dont get hurt. literally every time i hit park jumps or rails and actually try something new i wreck myself and my gear. i drive home bruised and shinbanged, and sometimes shear my brakes off.

But after a day of solid pillow lines, the only damage I experience is cold toes and a wet sweater from snow getting down my jacket.
 
Carving is fun as hell if you have good edges and can get down a few inches off the snow.

Bluebird blower deep pow with abundant pillows, drops, and hand-groomed kickers that goes on forever, with no possible flat landings, and cheat codes so your legs never need a break. Also, the lift is a teleportation device.
 
Yep. I can't see how anybody would pick anything else unless you've never skied a legit pow day in the west
