Does anybody NOT like powder?

I was wondering if anybody DOES NOT like to ride powder? Sounds kinda crazy but there might me someone.

The only combo that involves powder that I dont care for is powder and tight trees. Scares me, I think im closterphobic.:p
 
Powder and tight trees can add a *bit* of a pucker factor at times. :eek: Still fun riding, though you have to be on your game and able to react quickly. :)
 
The only time I dont like powder is when my group is sitting at the bottom of a ravine

do fat girls not like cake? the deeper the better. if you can see the hood, your still on the trail.
 
I don't like it when:
a) I get stuck in it
b) I can't go play in it

Powdered eggs are disgusting too.
 
their were a few days when I thought it was too much. When it took a darn good sled to make it across flat ground. When we got like 50" in 3 or 4 days. When we were breaking trail every where and where their was normally a groomed trail we had to break trail in bottom less snow. When all we saw on the hill was mostly 162's. My buddy and I were about the only ones we saw on 151-154's. When NO ONE was leaving the trail because they would be stuck within 10'. When 7 of us on darn good sleds and good riders spent all day to get 3/4 of the way up to the towers at pilots peak where we usually start riding. Then I was starting to think it was too deap.
Now after the warm weather we have had last weak ruining all the good snow. :( I think back to all the good times we had when the snow was "too deep" and wish it was like that again. Days when it was dumping 10"-12" a day. Days when you couldn't see any thing because it was snowing so hard. Days when you were breaking trail every where and it was all fresh untracked snow. Days when you only ran into one or two other groups of guys up on the hill all day. Days when you came back at the end of the day your tracks were completly covered and couldn't find them no matter how hard you looked.
I wish their was "too much snow out their right now". Definatly exciting days with lots to talk about at the end of the day. Their were several days that I didn't get back to the truck untill 8-9pm because I or some one else got down into some thing that we almost couldn't get out of. I would do it all over again tomarrow. :D

I love powder!
But after riding DEEP pow almost every ride this year, and usually poor visibility, I actually was looking forward to a hardpack ride.
What surprises me is how many people quit snowmobiling when there is still good snow, and ocasionally pow.
Rode last year in the spring at tony grove... 1st thing in the morning, 2 feet of fresh at the lake... By mid day it was spring conditions, and by the end of the day there was no snow in the parking lot.
 
powder sucks rocks when..........

...........I am riding with ill equipped sleds and/or riders. There is nothing worse than a stuckfest!

A highjack and/or a bungee is a must on those deep days.

Gotta use your head. Stop in a track or stop pointing downhill. Why is it that some guys just won't turn out. Or figure "since I'm stuck, I might as well pin it and get it really fuggin buried."

I guess we all have to learn the hard way.:mad:;)
 
Trees and powder are milk and cookies. I think the reason some of you are having trouble in the trees is you NEED to pick your own line WHENEVER possible. It is much easier to throw your goat around in a fresh line then a hard trench. Try it and if you think Im right send me money:beer;
