Deep snow

Deep snow skiing is one of the supreme disciplines in skiing. The feeling of "floating" and the pleasure of moving playfully through the terrain has an almost magical effect and makes skiing days unforgettable. Once you have enjoyed this pleasure, you will always look for this feeling, whether in easy terrain next to the piste or on difficult freeride descents.  

 

The special thing about deep snow skiing is the additional resistance created by the snow on the skis and body, which makes it difficult to turn the skis. The focus of the movement is the simultaneous and even relief and strain on the skis from the legs. By rocking the ankle and knee joints, the skis dive deeper into the snow, come back to the surface a little later and float over the snow before plunging into the snow again. A narrow ski guide also enables a wider, closed standing area. Under this the snow is compressed by the body weight. You can then feel an increasingly greater resistance under the skis, a "cushion" from which you can push yourself off in order to initiate the next turn (= turning aid).

We would also like to dispel the widespread rumor that you should lean backwards when skiing in deep snow. This causes exactly the opposite of lightness, it is exhausting, difficult to control and anything but a pleasure. The goal here is also the central body position above the middle of the ski, good tension and relaxation of the muscles and precise movement of the legs.
