Grey Day - an overcast day, can't see any variation in the snow and really makes for tough runs
Flounder - New snowboarders on the beginner hills. Mostly because they are flopping around on the ground all over the run. "Watch out for all the flounder"
Boiler Plate - On a windy day, all the loose snow is blown off to the sides and what's left is hard ass ice
Soul Ride - I nice long blue run with noOne on it. You just carve big ass turns all the way down the run, 180ing rollers straight into a switch soulRide. On your way back up you admire your trenches and all the flounder falling because of them... hehe

"jib": to perform skate-inspired tricks which usually include your board making contact with a non-snow object eg. "you think your tricks are new? we used to jib in 92!"
"jibber" aka jib-ninja: one who likes to jib eg. "that jib-ninja needs to pull his pants up"
"parkrat": a person who spends too much time in the terrain park and neglects the joy that can be found in the rest of the mountain eg. "Damm parkrats think they got priority!"

I hear that... I have skied in some sloppy elephant cum on the coast.
And lived in Golden for a few years, where it was the exact opposite.
Hooray for skiing.
