Freeride Skiing Pivate

Whether you call it off piste or freeride is not important; the important thing is that they have a lot in common. Off piste skiers and free-riders both like powder, wide endless slopes and the feeling of groundless skiing down the mountain. Off piste skiers prefer to do short turns and create eights with a moderate speed and like to admire their tracks at their next stop. Freeriders are pushing the accelerator pedal and flying down the mountains. For them the track is not so important; speed, steepness, corner angulations and face spray are important. There is not a strict line between off piste and free-riding, which is good. Then in this way everyone can enjoy his own favorite things.

Unfortunately there is not always powder, but even with no powder it’s possible to have fun away from the official slopes. To ski a couloir can also be fun and make your heart beat faster. To ski moderate to steep slopes with a feeling of skiing through champagne with almost no edging and use of power that’s spring snow skiing and one of the finest ways of skiing.
