    I've been teaching skiing for the past 30 years and everything on this video is correct. Thank you for showing some great techniques for skiing in powder. I have 110mm underfoot but prefer to be under 100mm so I can sink in the snow. Just to add keeping your legs and skis together in powder is similar to skiing in the bumps.

    I started skiing at seven but left it for snowboarding at 11 or so, now at 21 I tried to pick it up again. I found out I have gotten way better and confident in skiing without ever touching them. This was especially the case in the powder, the fact that i could do powder runs on the most beginner rental ski's confirmed to me that the type of ski you are using never makes it impossible to ski powder. great to see that you agree.

    The jump at the end where you rotate your skies one side and then another - that's astounding - I know how hard it is in reality and know that I can't do it in my current shape.

      For when you get out west. This is a very good lesson and essentially mirrors most of what I was shown in a small group lesson at Jackson Hole. Not letting the tails dig down and keeping the chest square to the fall line were the main ideas put forth. After that one lesson I was able to ski steep and deep far better.

    I lived for several seasons in Jackson Hole, and skied every day on 207 cm skis, on the Hobacks (when open) , and many, many times OB in Cody Bowl and Granite Canyon.
    Here is how to ski powder in a list.
    1. Establish a rhythm
    2) Do NOT go slow.......find a slope with some pitch
    3) Stay over the middle of your skis. Don't sit back or drive forward. Stay centered with your feet underneath you and shoulders as square to the fall line as possible.
    4) Keep going....don't stop. Keep that rhythm.
    5) Don't ski powder in the trees with one of the maids from a local Teton Village lodge, who just split several joints with you. Not good. Ha

    @adrianwilliams4122 2 роки тому +1

    Great set of instruction videos and a few of the powder skiing tips have helped me. It is worth mentioning that although you can ski powder on any ski, having the correct ski makes it much easier. I started skiing off piste on Fischer RC4 GS race skis, (both old school 210cm thin skis and 185cm carvers). Four years ago I bought some all mountain skis, (185cm Atomic Vantage Theory), and now find off piste far more enjoyable. The all mountain skis are more stable and are much smoother when skiing chop and crud......it isn't always soft fluffy powder out there.

  • @unusualbydefault
    @unusualbydefault 4 роки тому

    I'm skiing for almost 30 years now and this video is gold, not only for powder, but skiing in general. Always project shoulders down the valley, don't lean back and keep the skis tight (makes quick turning easier and gives more stability if done right)

    Very good video! Adult learner here: powder clicked for me when I committed to face down the fall line, still upper body (watch for over-rotation, as you said), relaxed posture, keeping shin pressure on the boots, knees together and for the finishing touch a confident, reaching pole plant. Can't over state the need for speed to gain flotation - in my experience this is what holds people back - they can't commit to the speed required for at least some flotation and so end up leaning back to force the skis around - which is exhausting. The pumping drill 1:40 can also be practiced on the sides of pistes if you don't have that glorious Laax pow!

    • @SebHaarfagre
      @SebHaarfagre 5 років тому +2

      Yes you have to "attack" the mountain :) Been skiing my whole life and I still get tired sometimes, at least with new gear, in which case it's tempting to lean back to ease tension on your thigh muscles. It's better to do a full stop until you're ready to "attack" again.
      Uneven snow can cause this, or when you don't trust the surface. I find this to mostly happen in "off piste" ski resorts where bushes are here and there, or if there's lots of tracks and mixed snow, and you get a bit "defensive", especially with new skis/boots/bindings.
      Better to venture a bit further off piste to find that good powder hill, then follow a road back to the lift or something (if at a resort) :)

    I have been skiing off and on since I was 3, but I had a long gap and then got back into it the last few years. I was feeling really confident at Keystone last year, but the snow was really consistent (not very much.) This year at Crested Butte, with 5-6 inches of fresh powder over the groomed run, I am really struggling. This is the deepest powder I have ever seen! Yesterday I went out on a easy run, fell and slammed my head into the snow. I was so shaken and disappointed with myself, I quit for the day 😢. I am going out today and practicing everything I leaned in this video. I really hope after some practice, I have the confidence I need to get back on some harder runs and enjoy myself. Thanks!
