Skiing soft spring snow
"Mashed potatoes"

- When skiing this ‘soft snow, it’s
‘important to stay balanced. You’ ll
‘encounter piles of snow, bare
‘spots and other skiers’ ‘tracks
which will want to take your skis.
_ Ensure all your weight is on the
outside ski and that your inside ski
‘is there to help you balance. Keep
-your feet under you by pushing
“them ahead as you hit an obstacle.
‘Otherwise, as your feet slow
down, you'll feel like you're
‘falling forward,

_ Play with your balance point and
find out what.works best for you
in the "mashed potatoes”,
