Ha....tipping 15% in powder....

Whether at Revelstoke, or the Sierra's, or pow on the east coast or anywhere....skiing powder is very similar to skiing groomers and bumps...for me, the techniques I use on the groomed and bumps just get dumbed down...softened a bit and PATIENCE is a huge help.

Oh yea we love pow....just ask Svend...he got some first hand pow at Sunshine and now is screaming, crying and dreaming about getting back into it again...He is a first class certified "Powder Pig"!

Hoping to get more before seasons end but if not...the'll be plenty of groomed, bumped, soft snow along the edges to frolic in!

Hope you all get some!   Best, g

Jim P.,

You can get by tipping 15% in powder, although I prefer to be more generous on vacation.  But be sure to CB 100% on the first 2-3 turns in powder until you get some rhythm going; otherwise, your tipping may not affect the "service" you receive.

Nice Todd...

If I may add regarding the first 2-3 turns...it made me think of this thing  I was taught and I have a habit of doing in pow...

Bouncing,..... bounce with your skis flat for 10 feet or so to get a feel of how the skis react to the depth and density of the snow...it's fun too...ya feel like a little kid on a mini trampline!

OK Todd, I understand being 20% tip generous on vacation, but, how does one know where 100% CB is?
