A skier or snowboarder that falls into a large pile of snow and has difficultly getting back up. This typically occurs on days following a large snowfall, aka a powder day. The fallen person
will often resemble a flopping fish out of
water as they
flail around and attempt to stand.
"There was so much snow we
saw 10 people powder
flounder."
"I powder floundered so hard on that run."
"Sorry I took so long, I was just powder floundering in that 6ft
pile of snow."
