Powder Vs. Park

[jackedforski]

I get so much shit from freinds about loving POWDER and back country and i plan on getting better at park but my question is which would you choose Powder or Park. Would you rather go to Swizerland or would you rather go to utah to hit the sweet park?

 

[kenevil]

park is super fun, but if there's any fresh the park is the last thing on my mind.

and there was a thread on this already

 

[jackedforski]

so i need some personal opions i really do

 

[eheath]

Utah isn't just park...

 

[jackedforski]

Yeah i no i went to utah last year like the best pow day of the year IT WAS AWESOME i go to snowbird and solitude god damn it was cool

 

[skier_boy26]

of course powder is better, but being able to seize either, whenever, is grand.

 

[Fat.Kid]

imo powder and backcountry is better! but I live on the Eastcoast... so i dont get to see much powder lol

 

[Holte]

I think it depends what you usually ski. My mountain doesn't have a park so usually all I ski are booters, pow, etc. So I'd go with the park.

 

[skier_boy26]

Oh, and powder can be elusive. I would pick a place that has good terrain so if it does snow, you're set, but also a place that has a good park (or good proximity to a park) so you can still have a blast.

 

[jhackbeez]

depends on the weather

 

[powderski14]

powder

 

[jackedforski]

dude i go to Bogus Basin we get no powder we crappy park the best spot we got around to ski is tammy and i rarly go there but its kinda whatev were sopposed to have a good year so im hoping we get dumped on with some powder this year.

 

[jackedforski]

pfft

 

[BMskier]

powder is more rare in the east than a decent park. i would choose the pow pow

 

[paulbunyan]

im more of a park it might be cause ive never actually skied real pow. hopefully i have that chance when i go out west this year

 

[.scott.]

werd

 

[snarky]

Wait, so people give you shit for not being a park rat?

Honestly I find it difficult to believe this. Yes park is fun, but it's nowhere close to the same plane of awesomeness as a good pow day.

 

[jackedforski]

Nah people give me shit for liking backcountry

its like the equivelent to park and pow thats what i say

 

[DJSTEVEINNIAMIXX]

if it snowed i do the pow pow intill its all chewed up.the park is the last thing i would do

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

did you just say utah for sweet park?

get your head on straight!

 

[Piste.Off]

depends on the weather. if its snowing and overcast i would go pow. sunny and blue skies park

 

[kenevil]

what if it was sunny and blue skies, but had puked all night?

what then?

 

[snowbird4life]

hahaha would you rather ski powder OR go to utah and ski park.......

how fucking wrong and oxymoronish is that statement..

go to utah and ski some good parks and some gnar gnar

 

[jackedforski]

dud ei said that utah had good pow too i was just trying to size it up to smothing

 

[ski_powpow]

POWDER!

 

[SEskier]

Then you probably need to check your pants and make sure they are still clean.

 

[HermioneGranger]

If i had a choice pow or park i would always take pow but park is still sick how about put some rails in the pow and your set to go

 

[jackedforski]

i agree pow is great and park is a great back up

 

[oiECSoi]

i love pow! but my home mtn is tiny and the pow is pretty much gone in a half hour so ill ride it until its shit, but riding park when there is pow is also mad fun. but kickers into mad pow rule it all

 

[jackedforski]

yeah its awesome

 

[poofartpee]

both are mad fun and heve lots of room for progression from pros and normal rec skiers...I dont hate on any of it thou its funny that people hate on park rats but not often on powder hounds

 

[jason...]

powder on a powder day, park on a non powder day, simple system

 

[East526]

powder/back country, i think park is fun at small resorts or just messing around

 

[thedutchmayn]

i fail to see how park could ever be considered better than a good day of shredding pow.

 

[MadSteezin]

Same with me.

 

[rudeboy_87]

here in the midwest i am a park rat by nature... but if i moved out west i would get some ep pros and be the biggest powder hog alive...

 

[jackedforski]

pow over it all

 

[cgroves]

Ive always been a parkrat and I am moving to Utah (from east) but to ski powder. I still plan to progress riding park, but just bought my first pair of powder skis and ready to shred.

 

[Elijah.]

Powder>Park

 

[Geonerd]

sory but really stupid question, no doubt its POWDER, park its fun when there is no pow

 

[T-DUB]

powder kills park but i still like park

 

[SGLogi]

ski pow if theres pow and if theres not ski park.....im not understanding the question i dont think

 

[jacqui-la-fripui]

i think park, at least for some people, can be pretty fucking awesome

 

[Fish_Sandwich.]

I dunno how anyone can argue this.....

Good powder is just siiick.

 

[49rider]

w/ nomensteven on this. when there is powder, ski it, when there isnt, ski park. but def powder>park but park is good too

 

[Literature]

When it is good, ski it. It depends on my mood too, but I will almost always choose powder.

 

[SGLogi]

park in the powder is pretty fun before it get all traked out and shitty then you just gotta go tree skiing

 

[Karcher]

powder if there actually is powder, not if its overtracked

crappy , then park

 

[chad1234567]

POWDER!

 

[Aerozol]

Switzerland: Laax tends to have both.

Then again I've never really had a really good booter line. Must be insane...

 

[SHampson]

i'll second that
