You will find this course a lot easier with an off piste ski, which has a minimum width of 80 mm underneath your ski boot. They should also have a soft flex.
To get more of a surfing feeling in powder, your board shouldn't be too short and should have a soft flex.
We suggest bringing light clothing of varying thicknesses that can be 'layered' to achieve comfort and versatility. You need to bring:
Waterproof jacket (with hood) and pants
Fleece or softshell jacket
Polypro underwear (top and bottom)
Wool or fleece hat
Helmet
Back protector
Waterproof gloves
Rental gear
