Ickys In Powder

Hmmm, you seem to be riding them like you have firm snow under foot, putting most of the weight on the outside leg. Have you tried with feet closer together as in "powder" riding, with weight equally distributed between the two feet? I found that when it started to get deep and soft that technique worked better.

Today I think I reached my limits on the Ickys. Snowbasin got a couple of feet of wet heavy snow overnight. Not the classic champagne powder, more like cold porridge. I managed to navigate all the terrain, but it was hard work and not fun like yesterday. I think something like the RCs or Sherpas would have been a much better choice. Conditions like these are so rare for me, I don't need to worry too much. At least it is nice to known that I won't get stuck, like a lot of skiers were today.Just these, nothing else !
