I was just getting over the fact that slope season is over ... until this video popped up. And now I'm back to crying myself to sleep knowing winter is still so far away. Thanks for all the great videos this season! Looking forward to the awesome content next season as well!

I found riding slush with snowboard is much more enjoyable than on skis. Malcolm showed the right way to do it here, ride it like surfing!

Agreed. That's why when I head to Tignes this Easter I'll be skiing in the morning and riding in the afternoon.

I learned in dry Colorado conditions then had a miserable time on a slushy day in Maine. The way you explained this made so many things more clear to me about why I had such a hard time. Thank you!

@dustinoman Год назад

Last season was my first season, and I'm SUPER excited for my 2nd! Just got the clearance from the doctor go after breaking my 3rd metatarsal. Last season though I came to REALLY enjoy slush. It made going off the small and medium jumps way more enjoyable because the impact was softer, and the carving was super fluid and enjoyable. What really helped me learn all the carving you're talking about was I'd stay for nights at Brighton so when the snow became pretty hard and icy, I had to learn those body positions better to ensure my edge was eating in, so I'd definitely say doing some night skiing before spring comes around can really help! It helped me, and I was watching your videos pretty religiously as well. I probably watched your carving video a half dozen times haha. Keep up the great content, and I hope I can plan a trip out there at some point!

Hi Malcom, it was really helpful seeing the board from the low-down-behind angle you use at about 5 mins in this video. Is it feasible for you to do some more content from that angle, it was really helpful to see up close when each edge is contacting/not contacting the ground. Anyway thanks so much for all your videos - I went snowboarding for the first time ever in feb and was able to get linking my turns on a green slope within the first 4 hours by following the steps you show in your 'real beginners' video. Would have absolutely died if it wasn't for you! I feel like the low down angle for the series of exercises covered in that video would be an amazing resource for helping to 'get' when to edge change.

@tonyg8870 2 года назад

@chuzzwade288 2 года назад

Also worth a mention I think is the difference the correct wax can make. If you had a week of pow in January you'll need a different wax for April slush.

@jerryb63 2 года назад

Great video, as all of yours are. Spent a week at the end of March in Saalbach which was ‘slush central’ so had plenty of practice. I now realise from your videos that I was doing ‘down-unweighted turns’ - I didn’t know they were a thing until watching your tutorials later - which worked for me, and it’s good to understand why from the explanations you give, and how I can improve next time. If I’d seen this first I might’ve sussed it a bit earlier. So helpful and informative as always.

@malcolmmoore 2 года назад

Exactly! 🙌

@123leojc 2 года назад

Went to St Anton at the end of March and the runs were really narrow, full of moguls and super slushy. Could have done with a pocket Malcolm as it got so bad that the medi clinic was really busy. Good technique is easier to practice when you have time to think and be measured but when you're faced with several pain in the ass issues at once it becomes more of a mission to just get through it. That means you don't have time to react in the way that you want and so you start torsional twisting which then totally buggers everything up. Can't I just download a malcolm programme like in the matrix and then say - "I know slushy moguls!" Peace out. Much love ;-)

THANK YOU ! i have been riding for 20+ years and feel like i have plateaued for probably 15 of those . However watching your videos, sometimes multiple times .my riding this year has improved so much ( who new it was so technical ) Iv e been lucky enough to have been on 2 trips this year and recently just got back from Tigne , if only i had seen this video before we went. Surprisingly we had good conditions but occasionally the snow was very grabby , i had a freshly waxed board (universal temp) before we went and only Boarded for 2 days , any tips on spring snow board prep ? Thanks again for all your content 🙌🙌

@user-cq2hv2nr4x 2 месяца назад

Super interesting perspective from behind the board at 5:30, Malcolm. Think you could throw this angle in on more of your videos?

@gijskramer1702 Год назад

After a week of slushy snow bucklepistes i actually fell in love with them. So much challenge but so rewarding. Turning took some getting used to. The grip in the slush sadly slows you down heaps on the flats. Edit: i did use a board that was very flexible and about 5cm to small for me. I loved how fast i could make turns

@malcolmmoore Год назад

Yeah, flats are slow, but the rest is fun!

@Daz555Daz 2 года назад

A properly waxed board is important as well. The slushy/soft snow can really have spots on the slopes that feel like you've put the brakes on as you ski or ride down the slope - the right wax will reduce the chances of that happening.

@baotang5540 2 года назад

Perfect timing as well be having our season extended thru the beginning of June in Washington State so ty! Off topic question, but what are some of your favorite snowboarding films?

@malcolmmoore 2 года назад

I really enjoyed dark matter, a recent one from Travis Rice, some of the lines they do in that are insane. A good free one on youtube is the union video 'Stronger'. Some of the stuff Torstein Horgmo puts out his channel is real good, and he's doing some really cool stuff with drones. But some of Jussi Oksanens parts in the old burton videos are some of my favourites of all time! Oh, and I like the stuff from the beyond medals crew, their latest video 'Relapse' is free on RU-vid.

also back on the slopes now after knee injury (learning: never land in a flat pit like i did in my latest Video). This slush is now really good for butters. Deep heelside carves are holding exceptionally well as long you avoid bootout or laydown. It seems, this year we will have less snow in summer, slush season started a bit too early compared to last year.

Yeah, the base here has already completely gone, I'll be interested to see what the conditions are like at the 2alpes glacier this summer, it opens up next month!

Any tips on riding slush on steeper slopes and how to handle bigger bumps like in the after noon on slushy slopes? When trying to avoid skidding on steeper slushy slopes I feel like I need to traverse, but traversing is becoming quite hard at that point of the day due to the lines formed on the piste.

Can sit watching these videos all day long (Unless I'm on a snow trip!) Just wondering if similar rules apply for cruising down bumpy slopes with/without slush or if different techniques are needed? That's where I find I usually come unstuck on steep blue runs.

Yeah the bumper it gets the more you'll need to retract your knees in towards you to absorb each bump, but yeah, similar idea to this!

@chooseboost 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video! When riding slush do you change your board preference? Would I be better off riding a softer all mountain board (Yes Typo) compared to my stiffer freeride board (k2 passport)? Thanks again for your help!

@malcolmmoore 9 месяцев назад

I like a wider board as because you sink more into the snow it's easier to get boot drag. Soft or stiff then it's just your preference, both work, softer can be more fun for jumping in and out of the slush, stiffer will let you charge through it easier!

@DHBids 8 месяцев назад

never thought people would dislike slushy condition, because for me at least its the nicest of all the types hehehe. Icy condition is to ruff, and you loose control easily. Powder is great, but if you are not too pro is rather difficult, specially yo stand up again if you fall, and also riding on powder is comparable to a good day at the gym. Slushy condition just hit the right spot for me, easy to stop, stand up, and also for me, its easier to steer the snowboard.

@malcolmmoore 8 месяцев назад

Fair enough!

@Daz555Daz 7 месяцев назад

If you can carve reasonably well then blasting through the slush can be a riot - it's a nightmare for the skidders and counter-rotators though!

@iamthelaw69 2 месяца назад

The slush doesn't help with speed, sadly. I tried full send on jumps and it feels so sluggish compared to powder or even hard packed (which I abhor for practicing jumps). Had such a hard time trying to get airtime, and when I try to pop it feels like I sank downwards than going up. Oh well, next season it is. At least the slush felt good falling on it as I practice.
