I like how the Easterners are bragging about how they enjoy the pow more than us and we're not grateful of our 20ft.+ snowfall every year. I bet they're just assuming this and they've never even skied on the west. They say it's something to tell the grandkids/kids. Yeah when I finish my completely untracked line down our mountains rather steeper runs with a face covered in snow or a sick pillow line I think I'll be telling that to my grandkids too. We enjoy it just as much we just get to enjoy more of it more often. All the stuff about the East's parks improving a lot, just remember the West is improving at the same time too. All the best parks are West- Mammoth (personal fav), Park City, Breck, Keystone, Whistler, that's just a few of them. I'm sure if you came and lived West you would much rather continue living out here. My dad lived on the East for 22 years of his life, moved out west, didn't ski for a while and still was like, fuck the east California is so much fucking better. All his friends live back East and he laughs because they have no clue how much better he has it than they do. Really, I'm gonna let you know right now, California isn't really a prime state for pow, not bad, but not as great as Colorado and Utah. Not everyone in California is a prick it just depends where you live. Bay Area people fucking piss me off though, they can be such bitches. I go to Northstar and probably half or more of the Tahoe gapers are there on my ass in the lift line and trying to cut you off. I tell em' off good though, it's a real insult when someone 5'4" chews them out in front of the rest of the 20 minute lift line occupees. I go to Squaw, not nearly as many gapers, no racers go and ride the park chairand the jump lines are great there, not to mention the terrain is crazy. mammoth is the best though, open for a long time, good terrain, and a kickass park. So I'll stop my bitching now and hope this has proved NE sucks dicks.
