When fresh powder days arrive, the best skis are powder skis designed specifically for the job. Maximum float is the name of the game. Powder skis tend to be much wider / fatter than normal skis. Most people regard a ski waist width of 100 mm as the minimum for a ski to be defined as a powder ski. Powder skis also tend to be longer, to help increase floatation, with a softer construction to help absorb bumps and lumps and with curved up tips to help turn initiation.
