Training for Powder Riding

[Big Lepowski]

Somewhere called Magic Mountain in North fucking Carolina has the most snow in the country, so with the world being turned on its head your question is completely irrelevant.

Gonna throw you a bone Jong, do this everywhere. Pay attention around 2:00.

Skooch leg?

Skooch leg?

Exactly. More cross country snowboarding. Learn to skooch goofy.

get on a furberg

Serious answer: just get a bigger, powder specific snowboard for the deep days, something with a big rockered nose. Riding powder is tiring, especially if you're on a park pickle.

Or a furberg

This is for skiing though. So you're going to have to learn to ski. It'll hurt at first but be all right in the long run, just like they told me the first time I went to the Ramrod.

Just walk everywhere in a squat - lunge - squat rhythm. People might look at you funny, but I guarantee your legs get stronger.

This!

But you have to give it about three months for it to set in.

Newschoolers is for fucking skiers, quit steering snowboarders over there.

Get a pow board. Tapered tail, setback stance, rockered nose. Ride centered and be happy. Riding twins in pow doable but why?

Wall sits are your friend. How long can you go at 90 deg?

Thanks - I do a lot of this (squat/lunge/front squat) but I don't think it simulates the constant quad activation. I think you're right about the high rep counts though. I'll start moving to that.

I agree with everything he told you. To add to it, you can try doing crossfit style training (it doesn't have to be crossfit, you can use the exercises he gave you) Just blast trough with super high intensity with something like 15 seconds of rest between rounds. If you are literally puking at the end of the session, you are doing it right. It will increase your ability to work hard over several minutes at a time.

training for pow and stop the JONG bashing all in one thread. good god, this place is ruined. suddenly i miss hugh.

Form, form, form and style.

It is like surfing, if your form sucks, you will suck. No amount of "training" except riding pow, or a better performing pow board will make you feel better.

I find a reverse camber with some camber under each foot works the best in pow, turns easy, and keeps the speed up. A little taper hopes too. flying v, never summers rcr, C2, all names of this kind of rocker.

[This End Up]

Follow these 3 easy steps;

1). Buy a 40L back pack
2) Fill it with everything you'll need to ride the pow.
3) Drive to Manhattan, NY
3a) Find a gym with a stairmaster
3b) Put on backpack
3c) Do the stairmaster for hours.

What you really need is a board that has a little reverse camber, then some camber, then a little more reverse camber, then some more camber, and then a little more reverse camber, then some more camber, and then a little more reverse camber, then some more camber, and then a little more reverse camber, then some more camber, and then a little more reverse camber, then some more camber, and then a little reverse camber. That shit would be awesome.

Drive to Manhattan? Don't listen to this guy?

But seriously that's good advice. With careful placement of go pros you could also get quite the montage!

Improve your core strength, when your core is weak your legs pick up the slack and it causes premature fatigue.
