How to

Step by step
  1. On a groomed run of medium pitch or steeper, build up to a steady, decent speed where you keep accelerating instead of stalling.

    The faster you go, the stronger the outward pull (centrifugal force) in each turn, and that pull becomes a platform that holds up your leaned-over body from the inside. Without it you simply fall over the instant you tip in, so building enough speed comes first.

  2. Enter a toeside turn.

    Bend both knees deeply (about 50 to 60 degrees), flex your ankles so your shins press forward, and drive the edge with the balls of your feet. Roll the whole board into an arc from nose to tail and stand the edge up to a steep 60 to 80 degrees.

  3. Tip your whole body toward the inside of the turn (the uphill side).

    Don't reach a hand down to the snow; instead lean from hips to shoulders as one straight pole. Send your lead hand (the hand toward the direction of travel) to the inside and aim your forearm at the snow. The more you lean, the more your weight rides on that outward pull, and the harder the edge bites.

  4. Brush your lead fingertips, then your forearm, lightly along the snow.

    Don't carry your weight on the hand; stay supported by the outward pull and let the hand just trace the arc. Look toward the exit of the turn (where you're heading next).

  5. Late in the turn the board finishes flexing and springs back from underneath you.

    Wait for that rebound, then ride the push up to stand and switch to your heelside. Trying to muscle yourself up early kills the rebound.

  6. On heelside, load your heels and fold the knees and hips just as deeply, dropping your hips toward the uphill side.

    If you touch down, your trailing hand (the tail-side hand) comes closest to the snow. Alternate toeside and heelside, linking one arc into the next.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

Aim for a feel of "steady and still accelerating, not slowing down." Too slow and the outward pull is weak, the platform under your leaned body disappears, and you collapse to the inside.

COMMON MISTAKE

You collapse to the inside the moment you lean → not enough speed, so the outward pull is too weak to hold you. Build up to a non-stalling speed before you tip in.
