a type of ski designed for use in deep, soft snow, typically used in alpine skiing and backcountry skiing
A powder ski is a type of ski designed specifically for deep, soft snow, often referred to as "powder" snow. These skis are wider than regular skis, which helps them float on top of the snow rather than sinking into it. Powder skis also have a special shape and bend to provide better control and stability in deep snow conditions, making them ideal for off-piste or backcountry skiing. The wide design allows for smoother turns and a more enjoyable ride through deep, fresh snow, making them popular among skiers who enjoy powder conditions.
