This lesson is a shortened version of the Introduction to Powder lesson from my latest instructional "Sofa Ski School - From Blue to Powder": https://sofaski.com/videos/blue-to-powder/

The focus lies on:

- helping the viewer understand the importance of the basic skiing skills for improving the performance in the powder
- showing how the turn initation and the control phase in the powder look like
- explaining the concept of building a platform by pushing the snow together
- showing some basic exercises to improve the feeling and timing for building a plattform

While being able to ski powder and off-piste terrain better is a very common goal for many of our customers we need to make the step back to improving more basic skiing skills in most of the cases.

The beauty about being able to ski the powder effortlesly is that we need to make minimal movements with maximum effect. Every inefficiency leads to a loss in performance and will make it more work than necessary.

In my new ski instructional "From Blue to Powder" i show in over 2 hours of instruction how we work on the release/initation and pressure/control phase of the turn as well as how these skills translate into skiing the powder, bumps and short turns.

I hope you like it, appreciate your likes, subscribtions and comments and am happy to answer if you have any questions.
