I had an opportunity to ski powder this weekend. I have practiced in about 6-7in of powder, and that was fun, but Sunday I had my first real taste of deep stuff. I was slightly less than successful, and sad that I had to traverse out until I got to some of the untracked stuff.
Does anyone have tips for skiing powder? Ideas for where to start?
I sort of was thinking I should practice first skiing consistently aggressively down the fall line on all terrain, and then once I master that, then focus on skiing powder. Or perhaps, follow my husbands advice, and just keep trying powder, and instead of trying to turn, just point my skis down hill and not worry so much about turning.
They have a good deal on womens specific lessons at Beaver Mt. every Wednesday, - $40 for an all day lesson and it includes breakfast. And I hope they eventually get some powder there to practice.
