Powder Cords or, powdah cods as you New England folks may know them as are, simply, the greatest ski invention of all time. They’re functional, they’re economical and they let everybody know that, although I’m rad, I’m also are responsible. My only gripe with Powder Cords is that they’ve really limited themselves by marketing them just for skis. When I have a good tomahawk, s%*t goes flying….and I mean flying. Sure, I can find my skis no problem, but where the f&#k did my poles, hat, and goggles go? That’s why I ski with no less than six powder cords on deep days. This makes all my equipment easily identifiable after a good yard sale. More importantly, I’ve color coded my powder cords so that I know which equipment to pick up first. This system allows me to find my skis before I waste time finding non-essential equipment. Sure, I hear snarky comments in the liftline, but those same people aren’t laughing when they’re sifting through powder and I’m on the way back to the lift line. So do yourself a favor and pick up a half dozen of these babies the next powder day- people may laugh, but not as hard as you’ll laugh skiing by them when they’re looking for their crap.
So what do they do? I don’t get it….
its like what they used to use back in the day, like safety straps so you dont lose a ski a pole etc makes them easier to find. ive never used them and ive been fine
I hear powder cords work best when tied to your boots and skis that way everything stays really close to you as you tumble down.
I’ve heard that if you tie them tight enough your skis dont even come off!!!!! Problem solved. Your welcome.
I just don’t fall . . . .
doesn’t sound like a great idea in an avalanche
Ah, I love it when I ragdoll, starfish to double back flip and then……………………….
waiting for it…………………….
Land on my board and ride away…………
Amen brother
ive heard that in the mountains of chamonix monsters and demons lurk
I heard Powder Cords get you laid. Chicks love the Powder Cords.
I never crash.
Picked up a pair for my VJJs- laugh all u want.. But for those times when the waxed side takes a detour.. I’ll be back on top before u can say VJJ!
Powder Cords work great, but you should NOT attach them to your boots. If you loose a ski and it gets wedged somewhere and you keep sliding, you could break a leg or do yourself other damage. The cord should stay with the ski. The pouches are the best way to go.
