Carve to Ollie.

1. On a medium slope at a moderate, steady speed, build rhythm with carving turns, switching between your toe edge and heel edge.

   Time your pop for the moment you exit a turn and the board points down the fall line. That's when the arc's outward force is pressing the board hardest into the snow, so the snow pushes back the most.

2. In the turn just before take-off, sink low by bending both knees to roughly 90 degrees.

   This deep crouch is the loaded spring you'll release. Look toward where you're going, slightly up.

3. At take-off, shift your weight toward the back foot (about 3:7 front foot to back foot) and press the tail into the snow with your back foot.

   Wait for the board to flex and load up its rebound.

4. As the rebound comes back, snap your back-foot knee and ankle straight to kick the tail off the snow.

   An instant later, pull your front-foot knee up toward your chest to lift the nose. That small front-to-back time gap, back foot pops then front foot lifts, is what gives the ollie its height.

5. In the air, tuck both knees up under your body to stay compact and keep the board level.

   Shift your eyes to your landing spot.

6. Land back at 5:5 front to back, bending both knees to absorb the impact.

   As you touch down, tip the board onto the edge for your next turn and roll straight back into carving without stopping.
