JSpin on the U VT listservers - back in the day he had a memorable account about there being so much snow that he was breathing snow because of severe face shots. There was so much pow and it was still pouring, the maelstrom had dragged on all night and all the instructors were going crazy about the skiing conditions.
I wubbed that listserver with all my heart! I got in trouble at work, damn near lost my job from being way too obsessed with the deep pow lmfao!
OCD about pow in ski resorts has been a serious problem for me for decades. I just don't care. Never will. 5G and modern devices plus modern ultra high resolution webcams at resorts are making my worship of snow far worse, by a factor of 986 decillion.
I worship snow to the utter exclusion of everything and everyone else. I am back to my high school crazies lol. No, WORSE!
Especially after the EPIC 2022-2023 snow season at Palisades Tahoe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And after seeing 125 mph winds blowing snow off a lodge roof THIS WINTER at Mammoth!!!!!!!!!! THAT PARTICULAR STORM really fanned my intense worship of cordilleran blizzards with 190 MPH WINDS!!!!!! There is nothing on earth like a Sierran Blizzard! You haven't LIVED, until you see what a good decent Sierran Blizzard does with snow! After the 2022-2023 Season at Tahoe when they got 700 inches, and after the recent Tahoe and Mammoth Blizzard where Tahoe got 39 inches and Tahoe got 8 FEET of snow, and Donner got annihilated by ELEVEN FEET of snow, I absolutely WORSHIP the Sierran snows!
