Ski on a Platform in Powder

Think of this platform as a flexible piece of semi-rigid plastic that will allow your feet to make slight up and down movements independent of each other, but will not allow your feet to separate side to side. Often, ineffective powder skiers have problems controlling their skis because they are skiing on them independently, and in many cases they are doing just what they do on firmer snow; putting significantly more weight on the outside ski, or simply skiing with their legs too far apart.            

Figure 14.3 Powder Ski on a Semi-Rigid Platform: Ski as if your skis can not be separated. Use a 60/40 weight split, with 60% of your weight on the downhill or outside ski. Never allow the legs to separate side to side. A small amount of independent up and down leg action is ok.
