How to Self-Rescue While Snow Skiing in Deep Powder

by

I wanted to cover safety in deep snow today because skiers die unnecessarily every year from not being able to self-rescue in deep snow. Today I skied Mammoth Mountain Ski Area just after they got 10.5 – 15.5 feet of new snow. I skied today because it is supposed to snow this afternoon and tomorrow.

Sun Peaks Resort tastefully designed with hotels, eateries, shopping, snow school, the spa and a variety of non-ski activities. I fell softly with my skis to my left, and my body fell to the right.

Some say to make a “t” with your poles and lean on them, but no way would that have worked. The powder was too deep, and deep powder provides unique, potentially life endangering challenges. So we … Read more
