In skiing and snowboarding, a face shot refers to the situation where the snow that is sprayed from the edge of the skis or board during a turn flies up into the face. Face shots only occur in deep powder snow. They most frequently occur for snowboarders when doing a heelside turn. They can be dangerous due to the way they negatively impact on visibility. 1, record 9, English, - face%20shot

Il ne semble pas y avoir actuellement un terme consacré en français pour nommer cette notion. Certaines personnes utilisent le terme anglais «face shot» ou y vont selon l’inspiration du moment. Nous croyons que les termes suivants sont tous viables, selon que l’on décrive l’action («bain de poudreuse», «coup de poudreuse») ou le phénomène («gerbe de poudreuse», «nuage de poudreuse»). 2, record 9, French, - bain%20de%20poudreuse

Afin d’éviter tout risque de confusion possible, nous avons préféré rejeter les termes «panache de neige» et plus spécifiquement «panache de poudreuse»; ces termes ayant déjà deux sens distincts : «Neige soulevée par le mouvement d’une avalanche lors de son écoulement» et «Neige soufflée de la crête d’une montagne». 2, record 9, French, - bain%20de%20poudreuse
