Coorrrr.....bucketloads!

Just checked the snow-forecast.....120cms for Argentiere over the next 6
days...but with strong gales from the North veering Northwest where in the
valley will it all end up?

Wherever is ends up there'll be serious avalanche risk if it's very windy.

Talking about 1m on Swiss radio.

Too much powder for me. I'm off to Puy Saint Vincent for some decent
piste action!

How Dare You!!!!!! ( ------ 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.

I think I can cope with "the semi tracked out" stuff now, it's the untracked
stuff I still have a problem with
