What is it that we love SO much about skiing powder? Today, we had one of those days that makes it clear.

The kind of powder that reminds us why we get that giddy feeling inside when we see the flakes start to fall. This is the kind of snow that takes a force of nature and turns it upside down. When we hit those truly sweet spots, for a few seconds at a time, we feel that particular sensation and we know that the laws of gravity, quite simply, DO NOT APPLY TO US.
