Deep powder!

Ya I like one on each foot too

when I watch clips like this I notice that skiers seem to bounce. I obviously can't see their knees , is it the powder or the knees?

ha ha ha Caron I would have no knees left if I skied in that

A foot of powder almost did my wrecked one in last week..still limping

Hi LM, I'm coming out to Beautiful British Columbia next week. Heading for Panorama! Any local advice on the pistes, conditions etc?

A bit of both really, pressure of snow builds up under the skis and they break the surface (ish), the knees absorb this and it helps the turn, which in itself is usually a very relaxed affair in deeper snow*
I fink

Hi Brucie!

You know I have not skied Panorama,my brother seems to really like it though. BC is going to get snow Saturday and Sunday,so that should help with conditions.
You should come up to Sunpeaks next time! It is gorgeous! Nice place to stay also.That is my local mountain.

Have fun!

How about instead

Is being the only snowboarder on the forum, a bit like being the only gay in the village?

Happy weekend sliding on yer Tea Tray Tino
