Ski Diva Extraordinaire
When I took my multi-week lessons last season, 3 out if 4 days ended up being powder days. The biggest thing by instructor stressed was really the fundamentals of skiing, especially making nice long slow rounded turns. He emphasized the importance of staying in the fall line longer than you would like while powder skiing, and no sudden movements too. We did a lot following our instructor down different pitches. I feel like I got a lot better at powder skiing, but I also think I have a very long way to go. I still think a lot of it is practice.
This is so my kryptonite. I've gotten more patient in my day to day skiing, but slap me in some powder, because I so rarely see it, and I panic and don't want to be patient and stay in the fall line to bring the turn around.
