Deep powder!

Thanks Trencher, probably due to lack of speed as the hills were low not enough time to build up speed when you hit the deep powder at the bottom.

You don't need to be going fast to ski pow!

Thats awesome!

I know it's the Holy Grail 'n' all, but I'm with the ones who haven't quite cracked it yet.. fell like I need a snorkel whenever I venture into powder...

Don't sit back? Stay awake and concentrate is better advice. last powder i skied, followed Mrs P into some virgin snow. She never goes off piste, so I not really concentrating. Just a bit between 2 pistes not much off the beaten track. Fresh everywhere, they only openned the lifts at 1pm whilst they bombed the avalanches and we'd been skiing fresh fluff on piste all afternoon. This was late in the day, in the sun, lower down. Just as i got into it, a few random thoughts floated across my supremely happy mellow brain. Like: nice day/great to be alive/wonder what the avalanche risk is here/where is mrs P/ mustn't sit back. Then WHACK! dug tips in just a fraction, skis stopped dead and i went head first over the handlebars landing head first. Came up looking like a yeti, Mrs p nearly died laughing and i am seriously considering buying a skid lid! there are worse things you could do than sit back - like not concentrate!

Buy one of these....



....if you really want to enjoy powder!!

Tino they are no good for me, they don't come in pairs. Each to their own

Trays? Purleeease! If I wanted tea daaaling, i'd go to the Ritz. Anyway, like skateboarding, fad sport, it'll never catch on. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a completely old f**t. I do have a skateboard - use it whenever I move house to help shift stuff like washing machine, piano etc.
