( ------ said in a max and paddy style) actually joking aside, the best practice that I found for powder is semi tracked out, it is a bit more forgiving. Also, skiing in the spring slush taught me alot about general movements needed to handle the powder, in the slush you can't force skiis into a turn, it teaches you alot about carving too. I used to hate the slushy conditions until I learned to just relax and carve over the top of it. Paul |
