"Rise & Alpine described the 90-10 rule, which is used by fishermen, for skiing. Ten percent of skiers are skiing the best snow, while everyone else is skiing the mediocre stuff. His method for reaching the ten percent is to identify the problems on the mountain that day and then solve them."
"The factors he considers when solving the problem include the weather, elevation, the sun, shade, visibility, traffic, timing, wind, terrain shape, and slope angle. He also recommends embracing shit snow, as it will make you a better skier or rider."
"Reportedly, having a bottle of hot sauce on you also helps."
Finding quality powder requires targeting the best conditions rather than following the crowd. A 90-10 approach is used: only a small portion of skiers access the best snow, while most ski mediocre conditions. The method to reach the top group starts by identifying problems on the mountain that day, then solving them. Key factors include weather, elevation, sun exposure, shade, visibility, traffic, timing, wind, terrain shape, and slope angle. The guidance also encourages embracing poor snow to improve skills. Carrying hot sauce is suggested as an additional helpful tactic.
