Below is a letter in this months Powder Magazine page 110.
SNOWBLADERS SUCK
I'm dumbfounded by snowbladers. The powder becomes ridiculously deep and then I see them. Struggling to move as if they were flipped turtles. Individually they seem helpless, but put them all together and the group beats their way down to the bottom. What goes through their heads when they think snowblades would be fun after 48 inches in two days? Do they get to the top of the mountain and say to themselves, "I'm going to rip the shit out of this line,"and then look at their feet and say, "uh,oh!" This happened so frequently while skiing at Snowbird the past years that I've concluded it's never a true powder day until you see some snowbladders. The more the better.
