Snowboarding in Powder

Step One

Borrow, rent, or buy a powder specific  snowboard. Powder boards tend to be directional with a wider nose than tail. They will also tend to be a rocker camber.

Step Two

Set your snowboard bindings as far back as possible, while maintaining a comfortable stance. (This will help the nose of your snowboard stay above the snow).

Step Three

Find a slope that is steep enough to get some speed with out a flat runout. (It is hard to snowboard in flat powder conditions you will get stuck and frustrated)

Step Four

Point your tip down the hill and lean back. You want your nose to be above the snow while your tail is gliding and turning in the powder. (For more advanced riding try gradually applying more and less pressure to your tail, in a slight bouncing motion to gain more speed)

Step Five

Get on the chairlift and repeat steps 1-4 as needed!
