There’s no phrase used in snowboarding that’s more full of bullshit than ‘no friends on a pow day’; who seriously thinks that riding chairlifts alone is any fun (mountain bikers?), or that trying to dig yourself out of an avalanche is a good idea?

Plus, if you’re riding alone, who can you spray? The best bit about snowboarding is sharing the experience with others, be in cranking out pistes or lapping the park, so why should riding powder be any different?

Absolutely nothing can top dropping in surrounded by your best buds woopin’ and hollerin’ at you, so don’t miss out.
