Gnar Pow

Definition

Gnarly powder snow so epic that regular skiing vocabulary simply won't do—you need to mash two rad words together. This is the stuff that makes snowboarders quit their jobs and move to the mountains. If you need a snorkel for it, you've found the promised land of winter sports.

Example Usage

Dude, the resort got two feet overnight—absolute gnar pow up there!
