In her 1993 book, Deep Powder Snow, Dolores LaChappelle writes: “Powder skiing is not fun. It is life, fully lived, life lived in a blaze of reality. What we experience in powder is the original human self, which lies deeply inside each of us, still undamaged in spite of what our present culture tries to do to us.” There’s a reason LaChappelle’s out-of-print book now sells for upwards of $350. It’s the same reason you hit snooze five times before groggily getting up to work on weekdays, but your 5 am alarm on a fresh-snow Saturday has you immediately awake and abuzz sans caffeine. It’s the same reason our founder, years ago, found himself selling rental fleets to fund more winters in Whistler. It’s the same reason you are here right now, hunting for the next ski you will glide upon to the most glorious of attainable winter glories. We. Are. Obsessed. With. Powder.
It’s okay. This is an obsession you don’t need to be afraid to feed, and fortunately, this year brings a crop of the best powder skis we’ve seen to date. Make no mistake, the skis below are powder-specific tools to make the most out of days when it’s dumping, but the great news is most of them are still tons of fun to ski when you find yourself on a groomer back to the lift or as things get chopped up inbounds in the afternoon. So, don’t be afraid to go fat and do as Dolores did by living your best powder skiing life this winter when the days that really matter hit.
