In this video, professional snowboard guide Martin Zarfl from Freeride Hotspot, is going to show you how to make your first turns in new powder.
For your first jumps and cliff drops off-piste, ensure that there is sufficient powder in the takeoff and landing area. Look for a steep landing so that it's gentle on your joints. For a compact flying position, pull in your legs – that will give you more control in the air. To get your bearings, keep your eyes fixed on the landing point on the snow surface. Before the landing, stretch your legs – and you'll land in the powder with your rear foot first. Bend your legs, and that will cushion your jump.
Have fun! Your Bergfex team.
