Pow... not Pow

[powdork]

i started off looking for corn, but it became apparent early on that there was only a light crust in the north facing trees and it would likely get burned off in the afternoon temps. plans were changed to a little couloir i had been eyeing for a while now. previous attempt found it had been beaten down by east winds to a rain layer. now it was a thick crust on one side, and unconsolidated pow on the other. there was also plenty of not pow. in fact, had i not got off the beaten path, it would have been just as much fun. still, it's fun to get the pucker on. gotta remember to close my vents for the down, since it almost became i bigger problem.

LMFAO..."what the hell? ......Pow *thump thump thump* not pow" I fully enjoyed this TR. Well played.

[DasBlunt]

Nice creek crossing, "not pow".

If there is one guy I've ever met who can bring the goofbutt that he is to a tr, it's you.

Thanks, mang.

[FranklezZ]

Well played sir.

Want to find pow (or not pow) some time this week?

Damn I was really hoping to see the strait line.

[powdork]

^^^i was just hoping to make turns. that didn't really happen either.

some pics
heading up
are these aspen??? they're huge, and they're widely scattered among other trees rather than in the thicker strands we're accustomed to




things that make you go hmmmmm


today's new plan. go up until you're uncomfortable, or you have to go to work


from across the way. i got up just past the small rock in the center. then i threw rock and ice chunks up onto the different aspects above. they all bounced and came back down at me. i bounced too.


we've had 1 storm in 2011. i didn't expect these.


i ended up with a little time, and corn over a good firm base perfect for booting, so i marched up to the yellow line (nice cave) for some quality not pow. (picture from 1/22)

Damn I was really hoping to see the strait line.

The side slip was pretty straight.

[Ottime]

Dork....

Yup. And you skied the coolie in just 7 turns!

I'll be searching for pow around the 22nd. Perhaps the Gulch of Doom will reset. Or the winds won't rape the highlands.

Not that interested in not pow.

[skier666]

I like that chute and may go there one day to find pow or maybe not pow....

"euro tr" would have been another adequate thread title.

[SchralphMacchio]

next time I'll come and it can be "snowboard, ... not snowboard ..."

[powdork]

"euro tr" would have been another adequate thread title.

i don't notice it when i'm doing it, but god damn if there weren't some double pole plants there in the thick of things. (insert smilie here if that were a feature of these fine new threads TGR is wearin') (it's easier to type what i have typed here than to add a smilie these days).

[greg]

actually i was referring to the supreme snow quality. the video very precisely recaps conditions all over the alps since - ehm, christmas. albeit, we probably average 1 or 2 feet less.

but thanks for pointing out the double pole plant.

edit: i'd give you a winkie if only i could..

[Ottime]

And I thought it was a reference to "gay or european". Alway a fun game.
