"Okay, so what I'm going to be showing you in this section is a back-country or powder freestyle ski. As you'll notice on this ski, it's a lot wider than some of the other freestyle skis. You can still ride these in the park, it's going to be a lot heavier. And the purpose of the width is to float on top of the snow. And if you'll notice they're bowed in the opposite direction, it's something new that a lot of the ski companies are doing. It's taken from the idea of water-skiing where you are floating on top of it. What they do, is they flip the flex of the ski to make it so you are floating more on top of the snow, because with deeper snow, when it snows a lot and there's powder skiing, the last thing you want is to sink into the snow and then you're just going to be working way too hard to actually go out there and have a good time. So if you are looking for a freestyle ski, for the powder I would definitely go with one of the wider ones that is actually made for freestyle skiing in powder. Just because it's going to allow you to do the tricks at the same level of difficulty as your typical park ski, but it's actually made for the deeper snow, so you can go out there and have a good time, depending on the actual conditions out there."
