Which is more satisfying: Fresh Powder or Glass?

I live in Utah where I get both. Last Friday we did our annual ski in the morning and water ski in the afternoon. I do both very well and hands down I would take a powder day over smoke on the water in the morning. Just me and the Mtn NO boat, NO noise, and always remember there are NO friends on powder days.

Unless you are in the backcountry!

Ok I get the whole backcountry thing. I have done it many times but never when there is a lift running. To me there is a fundamental problem with backcountry skiing when just down the road there is a perfectly good ski lift running. Also when we go backcountry for early or late season it's on snowmobiles.

First off I love to wakeboard more than snowboard. But if I had to pick a day of powder or a day of glass.... I would pick powder. Mainly because I get glass all the time and living in North Carolina powder is more than 2000 miles away! We were fortunate to have some powder days in Tahoe on our most recent trip. It is always hit or miss when you are so far away. It's not like I can skip work and hit the slopes because of a fresh pile of snow. POWDER IS A SPECIAL TREAT!
