- Bluebird powder days are the epitome of freeride heaven, right? But give me a stormy powder day every time!
In this episode of How To, I talk about how to make the most of those stormy days to be comfortable, but also look at how to stay safe when your visibility is limited, making the risks much greater.
Hope you will learn a few things and soon enjoy shredding the storm as much as I do!
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.

I'm with you. I love a stormy day when the cable cars are empty and your tracks fill in between descents.
Oh yeah... happiness! Xv
😊😊😊😊
great points about how good stormy days can be ! thanks Xavier
Thanks Xv
I love storms as well! Constant untracked pow, no people, feel invincible with the right equipment.
Great advice for rocks and trees as reference points; once I was on an open empty slope and I got dizzy, thought I was standing still and I was in fact moving, scary....
Had that once, such a strange and also kinda scary feeling
So true! Thanks Xv

Thanks. Xv
Merci Xavier 🤙
Thank you, Xavier. Love ya
Thank you! Xv
Wearing a colored jacket can looks stupid but it also really help to be me remarkable in the storm
Yeah the bright really helps for sure. Xv
Awesome comme d'hab!
Thanks for another great video!
I got an idea for your future episode.
What about refueling tips in the mountain?
Being a big mountain rider. I suppose you got great tips to feed yourself to get you up to high peaks while keeping the strength for the way down.
For Japanese. ramen noodles are great recreational meal. when we have luxury of carrying stove and have time and suitable weather for cooking.
So along with practical tips. I wonder if have any french favorite for recreational meals to eat during the mountain trips.
Thanks - I would be happy to do this as an episode and will put it on the list. I LOVE the Ramen noodles in Japan, that is the best food for half way through a shred day. Fills you up but without making you slow. So good. XV
Great episode and very helpful!!
Thanks. Xv
Oh yes! How can you not love it! I love snow - both underfoot and in the air!
Riding in the forest is especially fun then - the atmosphere is amazing!
Although I had to give up my line a few times while in the alpine because of the fog and ice-crust/hardpack snow in the couloir - choosing the safer option.
Generally, I don't feel confident when I'm in steep terrain (40°/45°+) and there is ice-crust and these kinda like ice-snowman formations (I don't know what it's called in English) - I'm always afraid that the edge will pop out and I'll fall, so I ride very conservatively with a prepared iceaxe for self-arrest. Though I have no problems when snow conditions are good.
Do you have any tips on this matter?
And as always, kudos to you XV for sharing your knowledge with us!
Hey Michal,
You need to ride above your board which means less angle, upper body really well centered and not leaning forward. Hope that helps. XV
Id rather watch this than the olympics lol
All of what you say is true!
Thanks Xv
(replacement) glasses with high(er) VLT can also be a game changer
Nice - thanks Xv
We haven’t gotten snow in WA since December and this video is making me so sad. Love the content though! I just miss snow
We had a pretty dry winter too generally ... fingers crossed for the good stuff next winter. Xv
@@HOWTOXV the PNW got pounded in April which was cool, got some really great late season turns both inbounds and out. Weird season but hey I’ll take it! :)
Lol what's that snow waterfall effect?
Et en plus, il y a moins de monde...
Yo Xav. J'étais en belledonne ce week-end et j'ai grave galère dans la forêt sur les singletracks où t'as à peine la place de ralentir. Tu vois tous les skieurs gérer tranquille et toi tu galère à aller tout schuss, pas assez vite ou finir sur le cul parce que t'as pas vu un obstacle. T'as des tips ou faut just suck it up?
Je sais que je twiste un peu ma board sur les plats en forçant avec mes pieds pour y mettre de la torsion, ca me permet de planter un peu ma carre au besoin sur l’arrière au niveau de mes oreilles. Aussi tu peux essayer de mettre un tout petit peu d’angle sur tes carres au niveau de la semelle. XV
That is a brutally looking jacket XV. What's the model name?
i guess you mean the A-CAD Futurelight Jacket for men from TNF. He also wears the Brigandine Jacket from TNF. Just check out "Steep Series" from The North Face :)
Yes exactly - sorry for the slow response it is the, A CAD Futurelight. www.thenorthface.com/shop/mens-a-cad-futurelight-jacket-nf0a5ach
Man, powder and trees riding without a helmet looks just so sad.
Agreed, should definitely have been riding with a helmet.
Be careful with that blow dryers for hands and your goggles. The lens is easily getting a bit too hot and so quickly transforms into a useless but expensive piece of plastic junk. At least unless you're not really into wanting to have a messed up vision when you ride. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about...
Ah thanks - hadn't thought of that, that would suck! Xv
