yeah, I don't care who ski's faster. I'm not 14.
That being said slow tree skiing is different than on trail wide open bowl powder skiing. I know what I'd rather do
You are such a prick I would accept any challenge against you.  And I'm sure on my EP Pros I would have no problem dusting you on a wide open bowl with multiple feet of powder.  I thought you skied faster since all you do is ride trails?  And I'm obviously slow since I'm always in the woods.  How is your butt?

I've got snow ridge. In circles we go as the butthurt ec skiers/sympathizers gather around trying to discredit ME rather than deal with the obvious lies coming from norther VT and recognizing that the most pow falls on tug hill, not from a "jay cloud"

You should have been at jay peak. Heard they got 5 feet. You know since they get WAY more snow than snow ridge.

No actually they didn't.  I was at Snow Ridge because that day it was the place to be.  That was early December and no one had snow let alone anywhere near that amount.

Still no answer?  How many days do you ride per season?  How many powder days did you hit last year?  Say 10" +

Nope.  I don't care who get's more.  Really, I don't.  

While we're on the subject of the thread... It appears that this one is named "What is the ideal amount of snow?"  I'm trying not to nitpick... because I know you are sensitive to nitpicking, but that doesn't translate to "Who get more snow... NVT or the Rockies?"  right?

Let me apologize in advance.... I feel like you might be getting butthurt by my responses.

Maybe if he skied half as much as he posts he would be that much better.  But, I know that skiing as much as I have the last 6 or so years that is the reason I am where I am at.  If you ski 12 times a year then you obviously aren't going to advance much.  And you have to be willing to leave your comfort zone and ride trails and conditions that aren't your preferred.

Want to take a prick measuring contest next?

Are you serious?

Dude, how old are you?

I never said I was a better skier than you. I honestly have no idea and don't' really care either.

Oh and tgr and epic are just a boatload of a-holes for sure.

Chill out dude. Ask yourself a simple question. How does arguing with me have any outcome on your life whatsoever?

Because ideal amount of snow has relation to snowiest ski areas.

So you prob ride 12 times a year at best.  All trails, with a din setting at what 6?  I prob rode more powder days last year than you rode altogether.

WOW! AWESOME DUDE! lol Din settings are according to your weight and if you're going fast enough(70mph taking extremely sharp turns with the ski's shuttering under the force) to crank em up like a ski racer than you'll either get kicked off the hill or die if you fall.

The idea behind an extremely high din setting is that pre release at the speeds/terrain your on is so severe that possibly losing a leg if you fall makes more sense. You can't do that type of skiing on an open to the public trail.  And without netting, it's a complete death wish with the trees. You fall, you'll likely die skiing like that.
