I've been seeing more and more of these morons up the mountain, even on pow days and I can't quite figure out what the fuck they are thinking? I mean, why would you ride snowblades period is a decent question, but why ride them at Blackcomb, on 7th, on a powder day? Just doesn't seem like it would work it real well... thoughts?

 
no way man.. its so hot. But what I did is mounted telemark bindings on my blades... so now I have tele-blades. They are epic for pow man. Nobody can keep up or anything.. its uber sickness.
 
the trick is to get the powder-blades, you know 98cm as opposed to the regular 89. SOOOO much floatation man.
 
yeh i got here on the 15th and every pow day i've seen bladers...

on the 40cm day i saw a blader on blackcomb.. but chillax, i yelled at him good
 
Oh god, I remember that... the 29th, up on 7th. Silly randoms on snollerblades in the trees, they got stuck. Serves them right.
 
ive never sbowbladed and i never will. is just fucking stupid, y would you cut a perfectly good ski in half and then stick a binding on it. its just another way of skiing just 7 times worse
 
i tried it once. I figured "this so obviously fuckin stupid, maybe theres some secret reason why they do it?"

turns out there isn't, and I landed on my face more than once going into... ungroomed snow? Horrible experience. They're all just idiots
 


I remember going up the chair one day last year on crystal, we spotted a one stuck in some fresh, right under the chair, we started cheering and yelling him encouragement's in Austrian and such
 
what about midgets? or tiny children? Do you think they'd benefit from snowblades on pow days, seeing as how they'd be as long as kids skis, but fatter?
 
Austrians speak german, but its a localized dialect. I guess it could be comparable to like, France French and Quebecoise French.
