When skiing in powder it requires more effort and hard work than skiing on groomed slopes. Some common problems are skis that dive in powder, not enough wax on skis, and too much forward lean.

The solutions to these problems are to purchase ski boots that have a softer forward flex for balance and ankle room as well as to loosen your upper buckles. Your ski bindings have a fore-aft adjustment and need to be set in the middle for powder and forward for groomed conditions. Also make sure your skis are properly waxed so that they float on the snow. Make sure to clean off the bottom part of your ski boots after a crash in powder. This will give you some ideas on how to enjoy the snow and have a great season!
