Quantity vs. Frequency

If you are an expert skier, would you rather get 3 feet of snow every three week or 1 foot of snow every week? You'd probably think for a few second and I bet that you'd chose the latter.

That's right, when it comes to fun ski conditions, frequency of snow fall always trump quantity. Even 8 inches of new snow can make a world of difference, refresh the old layer and make powder skiing possible.

From a practical point of view and with today's wide skis, you won't sink much deeper into four feet of snow than you would in 10 inches! So if you are a ski connoisseur, always look for repeated “refills” and forgo that rare snow “dump”!
