Excerpt From the Book: A Weekend Warrior's Guide to Expert
Skiing
Skiing powder is just not that hard. Most skiers’
anxiety about skiing powder stems from not recognizing
that they need to do just a few things differently. You
cannot approach powder using the same techniques you use
to ski groomed slopes. Because powder has a softer and
more fluid consistency than packed snow, it is
imperative that you use a specific set of techniques to
account for this difference. Let’s start by making a
list of what you need to do to ski powder effectively,
and then we can talk about each one individually.
Tips and Techniques for Good Powder Skiing
-
Use All-Mountain or Powder Skis.
-
Start with a Half -Turn-to-a-Check.
To begin, ski straight down the hill until
tips float up, then initiate a half turn to
start. Practice only on a very gentle slope
(see beginning of this video).
-
Ski With Your Knees Glued Together.
(not literally), and never let those legs
come apart (watch
the skier's knees in this video).
-
Use Speed and Pressure to Turn in Powder.
You need to be a bit more aggressive in
powder.
-
Stay Centered Fore and Aft On Your Skis.
Do not sit back! In this video the skier is
not leaning back to keep his tips up.
-
Distribute Your Weight (More) Evenly Over
Both Skis. Place 55 - 60% of your weight
on the outside ski. With your skis weighted
more evenly you create a
platform to ski on.

In our book we discuss
these elements separately, allowing you to see how each contributes to creating a
great foundation for powder skiing. Doing these seven
things correctly is all it takes for you to shred
powder. It is total fun, but you must be like Dorothy in
the Wizard of Oz: You have to believe you can do
it (skiing powder that is; not getting back to Kansas).
However, clicking your heels together won’t be necessary.
Instead, to help you become a
successful powder skier we will supply you with some
magic of our own. In our book, you find an extensive
list of tips on how to safely ski powder, enabling you
to learn without fear. When you get
your copy see
Chapter 14 for more on powder skiing.
