Well Brad in my state of mind....mash potatoes is wet, heavy, slushy snow piled up so that when you hit them, the "g" forces slam all your internal organs against your belly button...
Corn snow is that fresh spring snow slightly melting to the tongue, groomed and slicked back like a 67'greaser...every turn leaves that sweet carve 11/2 inch deep ah, so nice....and the sound....sweet. "kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"
Crud in my book of ski terms is broken old snow, crusty, ice bally, marbley, "what the hell am I doing out here", kind of snow. You're legs feel like you've been in a vibrating machine, your eyeballs are popping out of the socket, the bottom of your skis never seem to be on the ground at the same time and you think....must be time for a coffee break...let the young and foolish crush this stuff down a bit.
Well there you have it....well meaning and intentionally purposeful!
Best,
Gary
Oh yeah...having owned a pair of RX8's...they will ski all of the above without a hick-up...it's just the rider that will experience all the above symptons. Something fatter in the waist like 85 and above would smooth out the crud and mash potatoes.....I like the Watea 84 and 94 for those crapola days....it's all skiing though brother....so it's all good!....In corn snow let those RX8's sing.....they know that song well.
