"KEVIN BYFORD: Hi. I'm Kevin Byford with the Ski and Snowboard Schools of Aspen on behalf of the Expert Village. So what's the difference in riding in a grooved stuff and riding on powder? With powder we want to be more over the board. We're not leaning as much back and forwards, there's less edging. And also we move our hips back a little bit so that we get the tail of the board down in the snow and the nose up to ride out of the snow. When I'm making my turns, before I make my turn, I press down on my tail, nose comes up and then I turn the board through the air. Okay, let's see how that looks. There we have it, riding a flatter board in the powder. Not as much edge, a bit more weight in the back foot to get the nose out of the powder."
