I have faith it's going to snow this week. We're going to have sweet, deep powder conditions soon.
Do you have trouble skiing well in powder? I've seen many outstanding east coast skiers go out west and flounder for a day or two until they get used to skiing deep snow.
Of course, untracked powder eventually gets tracked out. Chopped up snow like this can be a real challenge, especially here in the east where that powder is deposited over an icy base. How do you handle chopped up snow where conditions are so variable they can change from turn to turn?
What about wet heavy snow? How about powder that's been sitting in the sun for a while that has a crust on top of it? Wind crust? Avy debris?
