Here comes the rain....

That is absolutely horrific, not to mention the skier that goes after then and nearly takes someone out :shock: :shock:

There was also a horrible video of a guy in Sauze getting almost snapped in half when he got clattered at full tilt by someone.

Is it a bit sick that i went straight off and looked for that?

Doesn't seem right to post a nasty one, but just to be clear, I am not averse to a bit of a good old wipe out!

You can't find it and not post it!

To me, it just looks like they are trying to ski powder like they would ski a set course. Different tactics are required for all different conditions/slopes.

You mean, don't try going on powder using skis more than about 2 foot (60 cms for our younger members) wide :lol:

You got it!

To a point, it will get to the stage where you are sacrificing manoeuvrability for stability you don't really need.

I'm ok'ish on moguls it's the deep powder that does me in.

Powder is the most enjoyable 'type' of snow to ski when you have it dialed. 2 things will help you, balance and fat skis )
