No offense...but i don't think that really qualifies as a powder day at the ridge...
That is true but it is all relative, as that was likely the only powder skiing happening in NY that day.
I get what you are saying anon. Maybe I did go overboard. I realize that 10+ inches at Snow Ridge from one event isn't normally a big headline. This season ... I felt it deserved an exclamation point. Riverc0il of thesnowway.com calls it a powder day if it's six inches of fresh or more. That works for me.
This is a really fun video. Nice work Tbatt.
What was the tape you put on the bottom of your skis before you started your day?
^Those are skins. You attach them to the bottom of your skis to make them sticky so they don't slide backwards when you are climbing uphill. You use them with AT bindings, which release at the heel for climbing. With this setup, you essentially have cross country skis for climbing. You remove the skins at the top of the mountain and attach the heel piece of the binding, so you have regular alpine skis for the descent.
