Frontside Tail Slide.

1. On a gentle slope, build a slightly-faster-than-comfortable speed and ride with the board flat (neither edge engaged), close to a straight line.

   The board slows hard once it turns sideways, so a little extra speed lets you finish the rotation.

2. Bend both knees softly and shift your weight slightly back so about 60 to 70 percent sits over the tail (the back of the board).

   Keep your hips at a medium height, stacked roughly over your back-foot heel.

3. Before turning the board, turn your eyes and chest downhill (your direction of travel) first.

   Letting the upper body go first pulls the lower body and board around with much less effort.

4. Pivoting around the back foot, send your hips and front foot toward your heel side, swinging the nose (front of the board) across the slope (the direction of a heelside turn).

   Your chest stays facing downhill. Think of spinning the board like a compass around a point under the back foot, rather than kicking with the front foot.

5. Once the board sits sideways to the fall line (the direction down the slope), keep your weight back over the tail and hold the base nearly flat, with the edge only lightly grazing the snow.

   A fully engaged edge bites and stops you, so keep it laid over and scrub speed by brushing the snow. At this point, twist your upper body slightly back the opposite way to stop the rotation and hold the pose. Keep turning the same way and you'll just spin around.

6. Keep looking where you want to go (downhill).

   Looking at your feet folds the upper body forward, pushes weight onto the front foot, lifts the tail, and kills the spin.

7. To exit, unwind the upper body you twisted back, and the rebound brings the board back around.

   At the same time stop favoring the back foot, bring your weight back to center (between both feet), and roll out flat.
