Fav type of ski run

When I was in my early twenties and used to go skiing with a group of friends we used to end up on the steepest and most challenging runs, which seemed to be favored by most of the group.

Yet my favorite type of run is a long fast run over a few kilometers first thing in the morning through powder, heaven! I do not really care how steep the run is and just as happy to ski green as I am red.

Off piste skiing can be fun too for a short while.

Have to say above seems a contradiction in terms, 'powder heaven, on-piste and green run' (how deep can powder be on-piste and on a green run you would poling to move).

Definitely skiing corduroy with a bit of fresh on top is good; Canada and the 'Early Bird' ticket is a great place to experience this. Ideally on a big open red, seeing how fast you can ski and how much angle you can get on the skis.

There is however still something about those special days of bottomless powder. When somehow your skis are rebounding making the skiing effortless. They don't happen very often and you pray you don't mess up the first turn and ruin your pitch when they do.

Perhaps that is what makes skiing so special and so difficult. To ski hard packed snow, powder, crust, spring, steep, deep, crud etc. is a life time of learning. Every run of every day the snow is changing and you can attack the run in a different way, which is why I never understood how it is possible to out ski a resort. Even the dreaded mogul field is a great way to spend a day. Turn on every other mogul, go at 45 degrees to fall line and try every mogul, and finally every mogul skiing the fall line. Brilliant way to spend a day and will also improve you general skiing. Which makes me conclude that there are no good or bad days of skiing, ski it as you see it and enjoy. My only rule is try to ski properly, what are you trying to do and how does it feel.

True, I am talking about the overnight powder you can get on the run overnight

I am not brave enough or maybe good enough to go to extreme off piste
