Re: 2015 how-tos
I translate here my reply given in the French section.

Hihihi !
Well, these days I carry more about my girl-friend than my board, because she broke her leg precisely in soft snow like the one in this video.
You can easily plant and tumble. It appears that the tibia-fibula fractures are common when you plant again the tip of the board after a fall.
You also have to beware of shoulders... Dislocation is waiting!
Briefly, about this video, I would give as "how-to": when the snow is very soft, don't do the same. Better is to make "normal" turns or to go track the powder off-piste.
