Jim....once we find our center on skis and ski them using soft edges in the powder, the wider boards require less energy vertically because they floats more readily to the surface. It becomes a matter of letting your feet with light pressure to the edges direct the skis into long or shorter turns.

Next time you're facing a deep snow day, rent a board 90 to 100 underfoot as your next evolution to skiing powder. You may find going wider even up to 110 underfoot makes the experience like surfing on a cloud.

I love skiing it all but give me a 1-2 foot powder day anyday.....dream snow.....floating.. ...smiling.....Swee t!
