@sunvalleylaw - that would be Perfect North Slopes just outside of Cincinnati, OH. Modern fat skis ride in powder with a similar angle of attack as a water ski does in water. But in neither case do you lean back instead you aim to remain stacked over your skis. I have used this same description with students who seem to think you need to lean back in powder, crud or other similar conditions and I have also used the same description when helping snow skiers learn to waterski.
