Saw this on Snowbrains.com today about how to tell an east coast skier from a west coast skier, and was wondering if we could come up with any of our own :
West Coast: “If the lift stopped here, I could totally jump off into this pow without getting hurt.”
West Coast: “*gets 6 inches of snow the night before* It’s only dust on crust.”
West Coast: “I need nothing less than a 100mm underfoot.”
West Coast: “Avoid the packed pow dude, it’s looking rough out there.”
West Coast: “I heard Alaska’s the new West.”
When you’re riding up the lift…
East Coast: “It doesn’t sound good down there *scratchy, granular ice sounds*.”West Coast: “If the lift stopped here, I could totally jump off into this pow without getting hurt.”
When you’re talking forecasts…
East Coast: “The snow feels like cement today.”West Coast: “*gets 6 inches of snow the night before* It’s only dust on crust.”
When you’re buying new skis…
East Coast: “What’s your best all-terrain ski?”West Coast: “I need nothing less than a 100mm underfoot.”
When there’s ice…
East Coast: “Heard it’s straight ice fields out there today *still attempts to stomp the double backy*.”West Coast: “Avoid the packed pow dude, it’s looking rough out there.”
When planning a ski vacation…
East Coast: “Let’s go to Colorado!”West Coast: “I heard Alaska’s the new West.”
