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."
