6" Powder Rule

Race training with the Winter Park Masters Alpine Team does not mean chasing gates every day. We go with the standard 6" Powder Rule. More leniant coaches go with 5" and the more strict coaches go with 7".

3 reasons why we freeski on powder days:

1. Its POWDER! Why wouldnt you want to ski it?
2. Working on fundamental all mountain skiing will make you faster in the gates, especialy when the course get rough.
3. Courses set in soft snow take about 3 hours to prepare and can still be dangerous.
