Blue birds are a lie anyways. Just scattered white light through keratin nanostructures in the feathers. Grind up the feathers and they're actually brown. Like the turd that is cloggin' up your butthurt attitude when someone comments on the blueness of a day. A day that is optimal for the sex appeal of certain birds who fancy blue. link
What a great poop-colored-feather-residue day to you.
birds aren't real
My favorite bird right now is the Western Tanager
I need to pick a favorite cloud.
hey man, have you ever thought about color?
Came here for this. Windless even better.Quote:

Does TGR count as social media?
This is nice.

It's my biggest gripe about how people talk about skiing on social media. I have plenty of other gripes about stupid things people say in general. It literally drives me crazy.Quote:

I mean, that’s what I thought bluebird meant but where I live is so cloudy and overcast during the winter that seeing blue sky is special. I think the OP would be even more appalled by what passes for a “powder day” here

It sounds like you are wound too tight. Maybe less social media and more skiing?Quote:

Nice! I guess this thread is turning into a Bluebird Powder Day thread, not a Bluebird Day thread. Sounds fine.

@swimmy - that day is Orgasmic on the TBS Scale - snow is blowing up around your waist, making your wee-wee tingle
Here's a bluebird day at Stowe (from their fb page)

Orgasmic Bluebird conditions - approaching Titties
I agree to your point that skiing is just fun. And while I’m not a powder snob, I’d be lying if I didn’t acknowlege that there is something extra special about laying down fresh tracks under blue skies.Quote:

Agreed.
There’s also fun in sharing the mishaps that occur.
My buddy Dave was standing at the top of a nice ravine (on a sunny but not totally clear day) when it slumped and sent him OTB

I was pretty concerned at first, but when he said he wasn’t hurt I pulled out the iPhone and took some snaps. Then helped extricate him.
Capture the moment and share with friends!
I bet you get dressed in the parking lot….

blessed with some blue bird days in the BC interior last Feburary. Cat in January rolling over here.

66 fucking posts on this shit? Wolf Creek is open fuckers. Go ski.
And also, bluebird is the sky, powder is the ground, and they aren't dependent on each other. For fuck's sake. Or for fucks' sake? One of those, anyway...

All snow is powder if you’re fast enough.
I’ll take any bluebird, no wind day I can get. Pow or groomers.
This thread is dumb.
