• Watch: 700+ Inches Of Snow Means You Can Ski On Roofs In This Town

  17-04-2023 20:01 via powder.com
  
  Consistent snowfall creates one obvious advantage for skiers: powder skiing. But there's another, less obvious advantage, too. The more it snows, the more the landscape fundamentally changes. This creates opportunities to ski lines previously unskiable during other, less snowy seasons. While you might be thinking cliffs and chutes, these skiers in Mammoth Lakes had an entirely different take: rooftops. Mammoth Lakes, the town where these shenanigans went down, sits adjacent to Californ

  As skiers, we like to talk about turns. Skid turns? Or edged turns? And what of turn initiation? While vital to maintaining technique, these discussions aren't always necessary, particularly when you've got the skills to throw turns to the wind, like pro skier Corey Jackson. Check out his recent straight line at Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It's pure diesel.  @corey_jackson1 Annual Rendevous bowl straight line @jackson.hole #fyp #skitok #skiing♬ original sound - Corey Jackson To t

Shout out to World Wong for making it happen:WorldWong: "This time I try to ski on 2 snowboards! Very difficult to turn. Like, Comment, and Subscribe for the next video!"Not too bad, right?

• Best Powder Skis of 2023-24

  17-04-2023 16:00 via powder.com
  
  It’s in our name, literally. Powder skiing is the best, and dedicated powder skis make it even better. These are the best powder skis we’ve used. But powder skis aren’t a monolith. Sure, they’re all meant to excel in deep, fresh snow, but within that category there’s a lot of variation for skiing style and terrain. So before you lay down your savings for some new pow skis, it’s worth being realistic with your goals as a skier. What are you looking to do with y
