i live in connecticut and powder days are rare especially becasue your chances of catching one in vermont or new hampshire. i already have twin tips should i just give up on powder and learn rails and jumps or should i just keep waiting for snow?
 
You dont have to give up powder just because you have twins tips man!

Shitty day=park

Snowy Day=Powder

Its easy to figure out.
 
"Non Ski gabber or Ski gabber"

Haha, sorry, I dont really care. I just thought it was a good thread to put that in.
 
haha, i only skied park 6 times this season, the rest were powder days or backcountry booter hits.

iv got publics and they work perfect in the pow because im not that heavy, im going to get a pair of the new seths when they become cheaper tho.
 
damn you! i was gunna say that

I live in nj so powder is rare and if its there, its normaly to flat of a mtn. to move in. however i do go on 2 or 3 ski vacations where im skiin almost all pow so i just use my park skis
 
Defo don't give up on the powder! Just do a bit of both, more park if bad snow.

Spending all your time in the park will get you better at freestyle but not improve your general skiing.
 
wow man, you do know that you can do both right?

ski the park when the snow is crap and when the mountian gods give you the pow pow ski that shit
 
i personally love park. like pow is super fun just going out on a fresh day with friends, but i've done soo much of that in my life that i feel like you can't progress much in pow (unlike park)
 
the best thing is when its pow pow and the park groomers only groom the lips of the jumps and the run ins.... thats tonar
 
Living in connecticut you will not have many powder days. Ski the park, but also ski bumps, maybe do some racing. Bumps and racing will help with your fundamentals and help you become a better skier for when you do get to ski big mountains. I would not look at it as an either or. Ski what you have available, but do not spend all day in the park.
 
If u got fresh snow u probably have to work a little harder than ppl out west. Just go hiking and go very early. But def not give up on the pow. I dont know what the problem is with park or pow coz u can easily do them both...

what kinda ski do u have?
 
ski to what the conditions are. What i mean by this is if there is powder ski it. If the trails look like crap hit up the park. Ski it all, you dont have to be committed to one or the other.
 
if theres a storm, powder, if its a day or 2 after a storm, a little park, some powder, other than that park
 
if you ahve twins ski in the powder switch hah and also its an unwrtten rule of skiing when its a powder day ski powder
