Hey guys, just have a quick question.
My dad (50, 6'5", 200lbs) has some "racer" 180cm, 70cm under foot skis, and he only likes the groomers. I've tried to take him into powdery areas and into the trees but he doesn't like it/enjoy it, not even the wide open powder areas.
I think it's because, A. He doesn't really know how to ski powder and being older he's working to hard. and B. he has skis that would be terrible for powder (especially since he doesn't know the proper way to ski it). He's really used to the groomers where you can edge and turn on a dime.
Do you guys have any tips or drills for him so powder would be more fun for him? I've always wanted to take him to the trees and powder to show him what I can do but he refuses.
Please let this thread die once someone helps me out.
Thanks you guys! PS we ski on Mt. Hood so it can get kinda wet
