Hard, difficult snow...

As I like to say, there's never a bad day skiing, except on certain spring days when the snow is hard like rock and when we still want to ski on bumps and rough terrain. Skiing then becomes a real challenge that turns paradise into hell and make the best of us look bad. There is no technique that I can recommend, but still I advocate skiing that “hard stuff” because it makes us all much better on a pair of boards. We get shaken up, banged around, and humbled, but these are after are the same exact feelings that we discovered as we learned the sport...
