Whistler got 35 cm of powder and I wanted to make a snowboard video to give you guys some tips on how to riding powder on steep terrain. Big mountain riding is my favourite thing to do on a snowboard and I think these tips will help get you guys ride some amazing steep powder. There are two things that I am thinking about while snowboarding in steep powder which really keep me in control and balance on my snowboard.
Let’s gravity does the pulling, you steer and slow down with back foot. BTW, don’t look down the hill, it will intimidate you, just keep your eyes at the next turn one at the time and look up the hill when you are done.
Great vid! No questions here aboot it. 😉
I did this but going between trees and over trees that fell down! It was not easy because it was almost vertically down! I am only 10
35 centimeters…how many freedoms is that?
This guy is no pro. If he was he would talk about flexion and extension and keeping the upper body quiet. Flailing the back arm is counter productive. Take a lesson from a real pro and stay away from bad habits.
Dream snowboard destination is definitely the alps in Switzerland
Too bad I live in New England
I like your vids but I am worried cos u guys never have any safety equipment when in the backcountry… Stay safe and take beacon, shovel and probe with ya and learn how to use it… No matter how well someone can read the terrain and how safe the snowpack might seem, it can always go wrong! Peace
this is dogshit!
Jim here with Pro Consumer Safety. As an instructor, you provide great tips in your videos. When I am teaching and reviewing videos to show others, I am also looking how the viewer interprets these on the hill. Great tips.
The deepest powder I have boarded in, and have done many times, have been waist to chest deep at resorts in Utah. With this deep of powder I’m usually on black diamonds, so pretty steep. Sometimes on my all mountain board which you really have to dig your back foot in to keep your tip up and sometimes on my powder board, of course is easier. For deep powder on boards you really need steeps, but know your limits. On some intermediate areas with powder at waist deep I have purposely leveled my board (still tip up), but submerged under the snow. The only thing I could see is my knees and waist moving through the powder. Its a pretty awesome feeling. I would not try this unless you have ridden in powder often and on intermediate runs, not steeps. For steeps, keep your tip up.
Note of caution in deep powder, always have friends to follow and keep track of each other. We have had cases of snowboarders being turned upside down and they panic. If you do not panic you just dig out, unstrap to get out and reposition. But there is a process, but having friends follow is a benefit. In Utah this is common. Maybe SnowboardProCamp can discuss this in a video sometime.

thanks a lot
Like 30-40 cm probably. I would love to go to Austria for my next snowboarding trip. I’ve been there twice on holiday but it’s so fun and would like to try it again.
Okay now how to do you go faster than two miles per hour
