In this video I’ve got 5 tips for snowboarding in powder. I think that powder riding is by far the my favorite thing to do on the mountain. If you’ve never been snowboarding in powder, I think these tips will give you something to work on and if you have ridden powder before these tips will help improve your current snowboard skills.

If your back leg burns at anytime on a powder day you need a longer board and wider in the waist. You really should have condition specific snowboards. I ride a 172 all the time. In the powder I can ride with even weight in the feet and out on the front on steeper terrain. Ole Kevin there is not that good of a rider and gives bad advice.
Would adjusting the bindings to be stance centered more in the back so the nose is more above the snow and more floaty help? always wanted to test but its 70 degrees in buffalo NY at the moment.
You have saved me from the fate of drowning in powder and my body being found when the snow melts!! Thank you!!! 😀
If you’re just learning how to ride powder, the video is proper for a true twin centered stance setup in snow that’s knee high or less. If you can ride switch in powder, you won’t have to worry about burning your back leg at all, just hit a jump, hip, or drop and do a switch 180 every now and then to keep the back leg fresh. However, if the snow is higher than your knees, it’s going to be harder to keep the tip up by buttering/leaning back and finding a solid platform to do an aerial 180 from so I recommend going to a directional powder board or powder specific setup to avoid issues of sinking and not having enough speed because you’re going to be more focused on charging down the mountain with enough speed than leaning back when snow is above your waist but don’t go switch while riding powder on powder specific setups or it will send you tomahawking with a few snow induced flips =) Whatever you do, do your best to avoid falling or letting the board sink to the bottom. Definitely avoid bulldozing/plowing a 2 to 3 feet deep trench line. I personally use a true twin centered stance in powder but I stay on the steep slopes where keeping the tip up is not a problem and ride switch a lot. The ability to switch and ride off in either direction is nice when coming off a jump or drop with a limited or occupied landing zone.
Where was this filmed? Looks amazing.
Just want to mention here to Set back your bindings a Bit if you can, so you don’t have to lean back as much.
jus had my first taste of spring powder day, there was not anybody on the green I was riding ,. very hard to get speed , some areas were barely covered while others had at least of soft powder. took 4 runs and it was very difficult
Powder looks so fun
Hi Kevin! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I have one question about the pole that you were using here. Can you share what’s this pole and how long is that? Because I’m planning to buy one and I’d like this kind cause I can see your whole body and your board as well. Hope to hear from you soon. Keep it up!
Where is this ?
Powder look so soft in the video . does the techie apply on hard powder too ?
Every time I go for a little jump in off piste / backcountry, I land as I use to, land rear, and then front, but when the front goes down, it digs into the snow, which makes me do a combat roll. Any ideas? I love landing rear first, parks etc….
