The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 16 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
My second weekend of powder. This time we found some knee high. The downside was I was telemarking. Telemarking in powder is hard for beginners, such as myself, because you’ll be going along nicely and then hit this patch that slows you down and since your heels are held down to the ski, it’s very easy to go face first into all that knee high powder. I wish I had my regular skis, or better yet, a pair of Pocket Rocket’s.
New rule: On powder days, I will always alpine ski.
