J2R....if you can apply 2 footed skiing as we talked about pow skiing earlier and apply it on groomed and chunked up broken snow..you can apply it in powder.

As far as being in the right place at the right time for those big dumps...if you like me do not live in a snow belt....you gotta hope for luck...and once in awhile, the snow gods will smile!

The other thought is that during groomed snow conditions, usally later in the day, play in the snow along the edges...you know about that 15 feet from the edge that gets all that pushed up granular snow.  4- 6 inches of that is a great place to practice engaging both skis at the same time. Practice makes perfect...do it there and I guarantee when the boot high and above pow falls, you'll be ready.
