In this workshop Darren looks at the basics of how to ski in powder. Get your technique right on piste and you’ll find off-piste skiing much easier. We go into more depth with off piste skiing in the Expert series.
Remember for your safety that it is not a substitution, but a complement, to on-slope tuition with a qualified professional ski instructor. Always take the necessary precautions and seek professional guidance when going off piste.

People say you need to have fatter and wider skis for powder, but over 30 years ago and before, a downhill ski was a downhill ski. I can ski perfectly on freshly groomed runs, but powder is a bitch! I’ll find out when I go to Utah next month, because Alaska’s Alyeska is difficult with powder, but easy with fresh groomed providing they aren’t icy.
Interesting interpretation – but like the Stacking video he misses the point he has a left hip drop in all his turns making it look like an inside lean or reverse angulation … yes Im being picky 😉
you don’t need special skis to ski powder I learned to ski snorkel snow on slalom skis back in the 60’s I have skied powder over my head on the same. Wider skis do make it easier, but the one of the biggest things is don’t try to turn until you have some speed you can’t start a turn going as slowly as you can on a packed groomed run. Get your skis closer together so they act as a unit,. weight should be pretty much equal on both skis, don’t sit back you’ll burn your thighs out in a couple of turns. Try to stay centered over the ski with a little heel bias (this is for deep powder) for 5inches over a packed run stay center over your arch. There are vids on here from the Whistler and Big White ski schools look at them. Then go get a lesson. I am a PSIA Level III inst. which is like the CSIA Level 4 both the highest cert level. Make sure you get a level III PSIA or Level 4 CSIA don’t take a powder lesson from anyone less qualified. Level II PSIA can teach the basics and beginning parallel. Level !s are for beginners
Ok this guy can not ski, no no no you keep your skis that far apart , you suck big time this guy suck big time
You ski like bad very bad this is not how you ski powder.
