- Once upon a time, skiers used to use 10-foot-long planks. The skis got shorter as technology improved. And then, along with most Americans, skis got fatter.
- If you still rock early 2000s skinnies, power to you. BUT, if you’d like to get the most out of PC Powder Cats, bring skis with at least 100 mm. underfoot.
- Boarders, almost any snowboard will be adept in powder. Even still, consider bringing a powder or freeride board. They will a) Float better, b) Save energy, and c) Prevent those unexpected wipeouts where your nose dives under the snow. Simply put: powder skis and boards = more fun for less work.
