Turner, nobody lives in Montana and nobody skis at Turner it's like a less busy old Powder Mtn UT. Pow for days.

Looking at its location, I can see why!

We all know your driving story but I'd gladly drive 7hrs to get endless pow laps.

Unfortunately Turner mountain only has a 30" base and only 3" of new snow...open weekends only.

Damn I need to get out west. What's a good resort for low level intermediates? Will I need to rent powder skis? I want to do some hardcore powder skiing but not sure where to start.

No problem.  I'm sure he'd enjoy your company, so long as you bring your GoPro.

No that's a solo trip...and Salty odds are pretty slim that you'll even get any powder to ski out west.  My suggestion is the next time we get snow make it to Camelback for first tracks and enjoy it.  It's a learning experience it takes a lot of days of skiing powder to figure it out.  It's the exact opposite of skiing hardpack..you don't use your edges you just shift your weight and yes I recommend powder skis and also take a powder clinic in addition to a racing clinic, mogul clinic, ski ballet clinic and an adult cooking class at the local community college.

If we get a significant snowfall again this year I'll have to stay at the hotel, or sleep in my car. We had powder a few days this year at First Trax, but I want to ski in the knee deep powder like in videos from out west.

Maybe you'll get a nice pow pow day at Stowe..shit gets tracked out fast up there so be sure to arrive before 730am on a pow day and wait in line for first quad chair.  If you don't arrive until 8am start at the gondola as that doesn't open until 830am

Oh fuck sorry for tainting this thread with Vermont talk.

I love the herb tourons at JH talking about the back bowls at Vail.  GTFO.  They're the same people we see struggling down Rendezvous trail in 6" of snow.

Could be the humdinger we need to get the Hobacks and lower faces open.  Another 12" should do it.
