How to

Step by step
  1. On a gentle slope, glide down the fall line at a slow, walking-pace speed.

    Too much speed makes the nose dig in and pitch you forward, so keep it just above a stop.

  2. Set up the nose press.

    Bend your front knee and shift your weight onto the ball of your front foot, while your back leg stays lightly extended to keep the tail floating. Picture stacking your chest over your front foot.

  3. Keep the nose edge from catching by holding the base flat against the snow.

    Commit your weight to the front foot here so the nose becomes a solid pivot point.

  4. Just before you start to spin, send your eyes and head toward your back (the heel side) first.

    The view behind you closes off for a moment, so leading with your gaze gives your body a direction to follow.

  5. Following your eyes, turn from your hips (pelvis) toward your back, not from your shoulders.

    Leading with the hips lets the unweighted tail slide out sideways. Aim your belly button to face across your line of travel rather than twisting with the upper body alone.

  6. As the tail swings around, hold the ball-of-the-front-foot pressure and keep the base flat.

    If you press down on your back heel, the heel edge bites and stops you, so let the back leg go soft and just ride along.

  7. Once the board is sideways, stop your hip rotation before you overspin, and twist your upper body back the opposite way to the board.

    Your body faces uphill, but bring your eyes back downhill (your direction of travel) and hold the pose.

  8. To exit, unwind the upper body you twisted back and let that rebound bring the board around.

    Extend the front knee slightly, bring your weight back to the center of the board, release the nose press, and return to a balanced, even stance.

Tips

Before riding, practice turning only your hips toward your back while standing still in a nose press.

COMMON MISTAKE

The board won't turn out of fear → you can't see where you're going when you turn toward your back, so your hips freeze. Fix: send your head and eyes toward your back first, then let your hips chase your gaze. Keep the order eyes → hips → board.
