Perfect Powder, Explained

A perfect powder day typically involves good friends, short lift lines, and of course, skiing deep powder snow. We all dream about those days when the snow is blowing overhead and every turn is better than the last. The team here at OpenSnow refers to this type of light and fluffy snow as "Max Fluff". It’s a non-technical term that we coined for snow that has a snow-to-liquid ratio of around 20-to-1. But what exactly does this mean and how do I find perfect powder?
