it takes time, practice, and concentration. snow snakes love to live in powder and will bite you pretty quick if you arnet paying attention. what makes it harder to ski in is that we dont get it around here. 4 inches isnt going to teach you how to ski in powder, as much as you might think it will. you need a good dumping to understand how to make the turns and get that floating feeling. the only advice i could give to you is go out to wherever you may take a trip and hope for powder. its impossible to not enjoy it.
