Some VERY useful words of wisdom there - thanks guys! I have to say that I'm not looking to do anything radically different in the powder (I am a PMTS follower after all), it's more the minor adaptations that I was hoping to observe and internalize, from watching good footage. I've had somewhat peculiar bad luck with powder in recent years - I never seem to be in the resort when it's there, but it dumps down the day I've gone, that sort of thing, with the result that I've had very little real experience with it. In terms of probability I'm long overdue some good powder days before long, and I just want to make sure I'm ready when it happens. One thing I do from time to time is to practice what I would be doing in the powder while I'm actually on the piste, to the extent that that is possible - i.e., playing with more even weighting between the feet, really working at flexing to release, etc.
