That powder isn’t very deep... now if only there was a tip on how to get out of 4 feet of fresh powder at mount baker or mount hood. Feels like chest deep quicksand
Actually that get-up tip is GOLD! I got stuck once: I lost lots of energy trying get out because I lacked knowledges of how to do it properly. It was first run of the day, so you can imagine how I felt afterwards. Thank you Xavier!
@@XVDLR Hey Xavier! Everyone tries to scare about powder. - "don't even think! Stay away!" e.t.c. You've made one video on pow, but it is never enough. Would be great to get more tips on turns in deep pow while slow or fast, floating and more! Anyway thanks for sharing! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this very informative and concise video! I've been 7 seasons snowboarding and just now getting into splitboarding and backcountry riding, but those tips about getting out of powder and keeping your speed would've been nice to have on some of those exceptional resort days!
Other importand advice is to go with someone experienced, or at least not alone. And if you’re trying to ride pow between the pistes you shoul be aware of sudden drops back on piste or on a cat track
Hey - I personally use my Rossignol Pro Model, so I am a bit biased! www.rossignol.com/us/rossignol-xv-boards-snowboard-rehwc07-000-2019-2020.html It is great for Freeride.
Sounds like some call it Backcountry and others Freeride.
And the most difficult question: find good powder to ride....
Japan, even the pistes are freeride powder dreams!
So right. Sad want to hit deep powder w a friend, all is so far and uncertain.
This is the best video about freeriding I could find. Many useful tips. Everything explained in under 5 mins.
I love the quick to the point and can-do attitude.
thanks!

Only when the snow isn’t that deep
This series is awesome, subscribed! Keep up the great work :)

Quite nice, can't wait to get the feeling of riding powder again
You inspired me to search for pow in the future. Only been riding a year and I turn 40 this year. Thank you and stay healthy!
Same! So sad I started not 20 years ago. Anyways better later than never...
Powder is the best - as it doesn't hurt!

Glad they are helpful. Enjoy the shred - now just waiting on the pow!
I thought about getting your XV snowboard but still love my Jibsaw though :)
the old XV is gone now... sadly
Can i ride pow in a freestyle/all mountain board?
Yes for sure, you have to adapt a little bit, but it is still tons of fun. Xv
Appreciate your work Xavier!
Merci.
Keep making videos please! You are awesome
Thank you. Xv
@xavier de la rue can you please make a video on how to ride steep terrain? (How to ride it aggressively?). Awsome video btw!
Hey - you can find my steep video here: ua-cam.com/video/K3_BEmMdesY/v-deo.html
Hopefully that helps - and all suggestions very welcome. Thanks Xv
Maybe a video of different types to dress in the mountain would be interesting. Thanks xavier for all this tips. :)
Ask and you will receive: ua-cam.com/video/87eEXB5r5-Y/v-deo.html
Hope that helps and let me know if any other suggestions. Thanks Xv
