Description
Skiing in powder, say many skiers, is the ultimate ski experience. The feeling of lightness, ease, and grace is incomparable. But the first time you venture into powder you may feel more like a fly in a spider's web than a bird on the wing. Powder skiing is vastly different from skiing on hard pack; the techniques that work well on packed snow won't work in powder. Today, with the almost universal use of snow-grooming equipment, a skier can learn to ski, and become quite proficient, without ever seeing powder. But, when he tries to make the transition from hard pack to powder, he finds himself eating a lot of fresh snow. (Found somewhere on the interweb...)
When you look up "Fresh Powder," you may run into all sorts of different meanings. Just be sure you do it when there are no sensitive or easily offended eyes looking over your shoulder. Words to the wise...
This view is atop the "Never Summer" Range in Rocky Mountain National Park in northern Colorado. While it is becoming spring down below, the tops of the peaks are still covered with fresh snow.
