Some ski areas do a snow job on skiers -- exaggerating weekend snowfalls to get schussers to come on down, a study found.

Come to Pennsylvania - where a fresh six-inch fall of what loosely resembles what comes out of the Slurpee machine at 7-11 is referred to as 'fresh powder'.

Been there, done that ... plenty of times on those little icehills wondering if my giant slalom turns into a gigantic skidding slalom right into a damn tree! /laughs

But what the heck, the resorts themselves are OK ... Shawnee, Camelback, and that other one up in Wilkes Barre (forgot the name) ... they're OK ... just don't go onto their slopes, especially at night, that is all ... /laughs
