Tutorial - how to ski powder, Episode 1/8

Episode 1. An Overview.

I am 65 and I ski for 45+ years. Powder skiing was always a special task, a mystery, an enigma for me. My major mistake was that when I tried to ski powder (and snowfalls are very rare to be honest) I attempted to ski it exactly the same way as carving on groomed and hardpack. Only when I realized that this is completely different sport and nothing will happen on its own things started to improve
I am not a professional ski instructor or coach but in this series of eight videos I am sharing the story of my transitioning from carving to powder. In fact it is very simple, one prerequisite and four primary technical skills, that are very different from carving on hardpack. I don't know how I managed to spread it over eight independent episodes, I guess I tried not to omit the slightest detail.
Here are the episodes:

Not one of the best, this course is the best i've come across on any style of skiing - full stop, I too have been skiing for some 40 years and I would have loved to have come across this many years ago - your explanation of the background and history of technique development put everything in context and your four step description and demonstration of the components is a masterclass. Thank you so much for going to the effort to create and to post this really terrific series. :)

You are a brilliant teacher. I am starting to ski like that guy in red more and more each day. But your instructions were so useful for me to improve my powder basics.
