I love snowboarding but don't like riding the terrain park or hucking cliffs. I just like laying out turns at will. My favorite is taking my 188 Coiler PR and riding it 'till it's done turning by itself and switching edges and doing it all over again making huge radius turns using the width of the run.
I sometimes crave carving and cannot wait to get to the mountain. It is a great feeling when you are riding down and pulling sweet turns like no tommorow, then riding the chair and checking out your line. Do this a few times and you will always see some softbooters or skiers trying to mimic your carving by dragging their hands in the snow trying to get as low as possible.
I also love riding powder and trees too, but all roads lead to corduroy. So if you can ride the rough areas on plates and enjoy it, you can have a blast all over in the trees, steeps, bowls, groomed runs, not just in the halfpipe or the terrain park.
Oh ya, I forgot. Chicks Dig It!
