Here,

you can see my ski design in action. This was a day, just a few degrees below freezing, the snow was dry and powdery. No wind and lots of sun makes it a very enjoyable experience. Note that the tail has a small ski as well, this makes it all work just gang busters.
Thanks for that article.
Everyone making skis should read this. Note where they place the pivot and then go look at most commercially available skis. You can use skis in a foot of powder with no problem if they are designed properly.
