つま先側エッジでのカービング
How to
Step by stepOn a gentle slope, start from a slow heelside sideslip at a speed where you stay in control.
Send your eyes first toward where you want to go (downhill). Your body naturally follows where you look.
Gradually shift your weight onto your heels and ride the heel (back) edge.
Stand your ankles up and let your shins come slightly off the boot tongues. Letting your toes feel light is enough.
Keep your knees softly bent (a shallow 20-30 degrees), don't drop your hips too far back, and stack your hips directly over the board.
Keep your upper body tall and open your chest toward the direction of travel.
Press the snow with your heels as you enter the turn.
Early on, ride more on the front foot's heel so the nose starts carving the arc. Start around 6 front : 4 back, then return to even heel pressure on both feet (5:5) in the second half so the board turns smoothly.
Once you've carried the board across to where it points sideways to the fall line, release the heel pressure, flatten the board, and set up the next turn.
To link turns, switch to the opposite edge the moment the board passes through flat.
Tips & common mistakes
In the app — learn while you logLook toward the exit of the arc (where you're heading next). Your shoulders and hips rotate with your head, so your eyes alone decide half the turn.
Sitting back onto your tail (falling on your butt) -> reaching for the heels by pulling your hips back, so your weight drops behind the board -> keep your hips over the board, not your butt, and stay tall; load the heels only from the ankle down.
