Isnt' it only like 82 Underfoot? I'd think that it wouldn't work to well. But I've never tried it

They'll probably just fine as long as you're not skiing wet ass powder that will hold you up. I mean, you could lean back, but that's a really shitty way to ski.

you can take any ski into powder if you want, wider ones are generally easier tho. the halos have the elf shoe thing, which is an early rise in the tip and tail, which might make it easier

this i sometimes take my park skis into the powder and its definitely harder but you can still do it, and enjoy the powder.

Took them down a 47 degree slope with 3+ feet of powder, they didnt stay up at all which was expected. They can handel 10 inches of pow and I wouldnt take them anything over that.
