A lot of snow, or names for it anyways

Sometimes it feels like my skis are either easily gliding over or being forced through a different consistency of snow every turn. Some turns are easy. These are the turns in fluffy, deep powder. But sometimes the skis fight through heavy slush or glide over ice that would resemble the Red Bull Cushed Ice course.
I guess the Inuit hit the nail on the hammer with the 100 plus names they have for snow. If an Inuit was having a great day on the hill, he or she would be skiing some steep and deep tlapa. But if the hill gets all skied out and no new snow falls overnight, he or she would probably talk about klin. If no new snow falls for weeks, the word changes to naklin.
Here on the wet coast we get a mixture of tlamo and tlapinti. And on St. Patrick's day last week, we even saw some sulitlana. It was a good thing, we could all go in for some mactla and mexla.
In the minds of skiers, nothing is just tla. Sometimes if you hit a patch or shlim, it will soon be motla. Just make sure to watch out for tlayopi.
Some say that even the English language has numerous words and the Inuit words are a bit of a myth. But I feel that it's so much easier to say jatla instead of snow between your fingers or toes, or in groin-folds or quinyaya instead of snow mixed with the shit of a lead dog.
One thing is for sure. If an Inuit is a serious skier, he or she never stops talking about ylaipi.
