Powder Rules Apply Today – the rules explained here…
The Powder Rules: Rule No.1 – No Friends On Powder Days. (never wait for anyone, you’ll miss those first tracks, though waiting your turn on avalanche risk slopes is allowed)
Rule No.2 – Everything Excused. (you should be allowed to be late or not turn up for work, school etc)
Note that certain girlfriend rule exceptions and/or exclusions may apply on some days.
The earliest origins of this we know of are in a 1981 US ski movie.
A Californian Ski Hire shop simply shut on Powder Days for the staff to go skiing with the sign on the door saying “CLOSED – Powder Rules Apply”.
“CLOSED – Powder Rules Apply” – EPIC. I wish we could have done that.

Epic, very true!
