Ski legends of old talk about what it is really like to ski back country powder well and to enjoy it spiritually. I only know what they are saying is true when after 99 failed attempts, I finally get the breakthrough moment when it all comes together, the mountain, the rhythm, the snow - I just relax and go
Nice vids of slaying the pow. The title is a little hokey and it starts off a little slow, but by the end I'm just totally stoked, and feeling a bit honored that I can feel a little bit like these legends felt when they were on the slopes 70+ years ago.



It really grows on you if you watch it a couple of times. I had to struggle with the words - the music/voice mix was off, but when you get what they are saying, you really understand.
