Help in Skiing Powder and Crud

I'm hopeless in powder. Everyone else is having so much fun and 'woo hooing!" I'm boo hooing! Looking forward to giving these tips a try. Very clear, straight forward, and manageable content. Now...here in NE PA.....I'm might have a wait.....

From Holland, going to the Alps for skiing powder is always tricky. I simply dont get enough powder days to really practice enough. But I'll surely build in those sand exercises and trampoline jumps to prepare. I think that's another big part of it: develop the muscle and coordination for skiing like this.

Definitely one of the best videos I've seen on how to ski pwoder1

Another amazing video. Thanks for doing this and for doing it for free. Some of the best you can find on YT. Happy new year!!

Great tips. Nothing better than powder skiing!

Thank you . I'm glad I happened to see your video. I'm ski race coach, I have found skiing powder difficult. You did a GREAT job explaining it.😂 Merry Christmas 🎅

I've joined Tom's Big Picture online program and it has helped my skiing tremendously. I have great respect for his internet teaching method.

Also, I love watching really good skiing. It's so satisfying and this is excellent skiing!

I love the trampoline comparison. I use that every time I teach a student to ski powder.

Finally some practical advice and exercises to try. Thank you!

@Tahoe it is pow one day and crud the next. Even after decades of skiing, your video is helpful and on point. Thanks

Thank you for showing the “ouch” mini crash caused by the missed hit on the bump and valley hidden under the snow. I have been there more times than I can count. Learning to “build mileage” anticipate and ski more w feelings is hugely helpful advice.

best powder skiing video I've found yet

Thank you. I'm taking a season off to heal my patellar tendonitis/osis. I can't wait to get back to skiing. At first I was depressed about not skiing. But now I feel absolutely positive I'll be skiing 24/25 with no injuries. I plan to focus on removing my bad habits when I get back to skiing. Lack of upper / lower separation is my nemesis

You are so practical and inspiring. Can't wait to incorporate these ideas into my skiing. Thank you!

Always enjoy and learn from your videos. Could not agree more that feeling is so much more engraining to the learning process. Thank you!

this is a great video, and whether it was on purpose or not, you did a great job at conveying that turning is a crucial part of skiing, even when one isn't completely necessary. I'm gonna bring my 88 underfoots next time there's a pow day and figure out how bad of a skier I really am lol

Great video. Some random thoughts. 25 years ago Lito Tejado Flores did a similar long video talking about the downward pressure at the bottom of the turn creating its own powder bump to turn on. Plus I found in Japan skiing 10 cms of light powder over the day before’s ruts and bumps that I had to weight the downhill ski more than the 50/50 advice we were all given. Finally staying light on both skis recalls Lance Armstrong talking about “dancing on the pedals” on mountain climbs. Sure he was full of juice but it’s a mindset that helps me in deep stuff. Many thanks

Awesome explanation and great videos of techniques. This is why you are one of the best skiing channels on Youtube!

Love these vids!! Super and applicable advice. As an east coaster I remember my first time in powder out West and almost immediately I became a powder snob. I had lots of practice skiing icy moguls which helped me in powder. Getting that bounce and load sensation is key! If only I lived in powder heaven…. 😂❤
