Powder skiing

[1] In the Rocky Mountain Range of the Western United States, powder skiing is a common term used among expert skiers.

"[5] Accepted good forms include having knees bent and leaning backward into the ski boots.

Each shock-absorbing turn in powder creates a rebound by pushing on the snow to slow down and releasing that force to speed up.

Then they turn by raising one foot and tilting it towards the outer edge of the ski while keeping one's legs pressed together, and they repeat the process.

Leaning back in powder to maintain momentum and bring ski tips to the surface in deep snow can lead to discomfort.

[4] The "Dipsy Doodle" involves following the fall line and lifting each ski one at a time repeatedly, thus establishing float.
