Well I got back from Meribel yesterday and I was lucky that is snowed quite a lot and so I got to ride some powder. I found it pretty tough to be honest. I had a lot of front flip bails with my nose digging in and I think I was leaning too much on turns. I see what you mean by speed is your friend. Although what I do know is that powder is amazing and by far the best thing to be riding.
I like to eat snow...

Ditto....

I was at Glencoe aout 10 days ago just after a good dump of the white stuff. It's the first time I've ridden in powder and spent a lot of time falling over but it was the best fun I've ever had on a board.
So much so that I'm determined to get to somewhere like Canada and have a go at big powder slopes!!!
I wish I'd started years ago!
