| skiing, inf. |
skier preferring powdery snow; a skier or snowboarder who avidly seeks out the "powder" (light, dry, fluffy snow) Synonym: powder hound: On the opposite, western boundary, the blue fingers under the Timberline Express are training grounds for powder monkeys, flanked by mellow glades and blessed with small natural hits and stashes of deep snow. • Snowbird has been amending its reputation as a destination primarily for the steep-and-deep skiers and powder monkeys. Off the Baby Thunder lift in 1995, the resort has a largely protected area that has gentle slopes great for less experienced skiers. • Yes, getting up the mountain is more of a hassle — powder monkeys will probably yelp in frustration because of the extra minutes involved each morning. But if you want a more laid-back holiday, […] you’ll love it. • There are lots of fine cutovers into untouched sugar for powder monkeys (snow permitting, of course).  wiktionary.org) |
