How to Ski Powder | 10 Tips

Japow has been a big challenge to me. Is 1-2 meters deep powder differing from these?

Tried deep powder for the first time in the alps this year. I fell down and lost 1 of my rental ski in the 1m deep powder. I almost had a heartattack but luckily almost immediatly I managed to find it crawling uphill and poking with stick.

what goggles is he wearing

Skiing in deep powder is not easy!

Try to ski in the powder rather on the powder.

Good job sir

show my skill

I live on the east coast this doesn’t even apply to me

Awesome - ty very much for this - can't wait to get out west and try this out.

Loved it!! Thanks

Tja Jens, Har du kvar de Skalkläderna från Scott? Riktigt Snygga!

thank you!

Powder is over rated. You're on holiday. Sleep in, relax, enjoy a good breakfast, do some yoga, check your email.
You can't ski if you can't see your skis. Wait until they get it groomed.

I love your videos and your mood man. Thank you !
Couple points I see differently: Holding hands too forward may be good for you but is not a general recommendation. and also I would initiate the turn with the legs rather than with the upper body being thrown towards the new direction, although I fully understand the how tempting it is in powder to start with the body as you popup.

I live in Jersey and when we got 2 feet of powder this year I skied down a hill at my house and when I tried to turn I went face first into the snow

I tried stopping in 2 feet of pow one time and went face first into the snow

GREAT tips! I love all of your tutorials, they are really good!!

i have the same jacket :P

I really wish they had fat rocker skis when I was first learning to ski powder. It was all sinking and bunny hops. It was brutal on your thighs.

Great teacher

Would be pretty boring watching people do short turn pole plants in movies

First of all, train your legs, because its much more tiresome to ski 🤣

Dear Jens,

I did my first turns in the powder (well beside the groomed slope) and thx for your great video. However, I am not clear about the weight distribution especially during the turns...is it on both legs the same or is the outside ski the boss, like with carving on groomed slopes. And do you initiate the turn by a body weight forward movement or do you just "turn" the skis?

Tomorrow i will try again.... :-)

All the best, keep on going and stay healthy

Democrats love censorship. Republicans love freedom. What do you love?

Nice job on the video and Thank you.

You forgot the most important thing.............. Avalanche safety Equipment.

This was a really well explained video 🙏🏼 👍🏻

U are great man !

If you do not know how to ski yourself, do not teach!

I always have problems skiing crud because the snow keeps crossing my skis. What should I do?

how do I ski powder in my racing skis?

Fresh powder is awesome...chopped powder after the sun starts thawing things out on the other hand....

maan I love your vids. I watch them when really want to ski. And you have shown me how to do 3's and backflips :)

Good vid

Really enjoyed the vid. Very simple yet helful and informative. Great job

I am 175 cm w, on the heavier side, i just bought the mindbender 108ti 179 cm , i am an advanced -expert skier that has had not too much experience on powder but would like to spend more time off piste and thats why i bought them. Do you think i made a mistake with the ski length?

Skiing powder is literally better than sex

Eyes forward......... Tips downhill..... Knees over toes...... Hip over heels..... Hands in front....... Falling in powder is much easier on the body than falling on hard pack or groomed runs.....!

i tired it! snow was up to my knees, fell down many times, mostly falling in a W figure position!

Took me a long time to realise. Speed is your friend. Imagine water skiing slowly, cant be done. Speed, sit lower, skis together 50/50 distribution of weight on both skis, use your pole plants to intiate the turns. go for it.
