Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Painful to see all that nice powder being messed up - but there was some difficult snow too (and why was someone trying to do a 180 in powder Puzzled )

However, we've all been there (and there (and there))

boabski, brilliant, every one a classic. I'm the person at 2.51, wondering how the hell to get up again. (I really don't mind falling, it's the getting sorted out again afterwards that's the real b*gger, especially as I'm always worried about holding other people up.)

If you want to learn how to ski powder I can recommend this to you, like many of you Ive been skiing for longer than I remember, and didnt expect to learn any thing
from it.
Although I have to admit its a bit dated, this is the best explanation of skiing technique I have ever seen or heard. Espcially bumps and powder.

You have to get past the purple jumpsuit though.

Done a lot of those in times past! Embarassed

Now, still consider a lot of that "normal" as part of the day, though with increasingly longer time staying upright. Laughing

I am sure the chap trying the 180 is wearing the horrible coloured green ski club rep jacket..........

snowornever, no, the jacket they're wearing is a much lighter shade, and doesn't have the bits of grey either.

Good link.

Interestingly quite a few of those falls were people falling 'under' their skis. If anything in powder I tend to fall 'over' and I thought that would be the more common fall.

Encouraging to myself who is a poor off piste skier to see most of the falls looked nice and soft.
