How to

Step by step
  1. On a gentle slope, start from a slow 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.

  2. Gradually shift your weight onto the balls of your feet and ride the toe edge.

    Flex your ankles and let your shins rest into the boot tongues. Letting your heels feel light is enough.

  3. Keep your knees softly bent, don't fold forward at the waist, and stack your hips directly over the board.

    Keep your upper body tall and turn your eyes and shoulders toward the direction of travel.

  4. Press the snow with the balls of your feet as you enter the turn.

    Early on, ride more on the ball of the front foot so the nose starts carving the arc. Start around 6 front : 4 back, then bring your weight back to the middle or slightly toward the back foot in the second half so the board turns smoothly.

  5. Once you've carried the board across to where it points sideways to the fall line, release the toe 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

Tips

Look 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.

COMMON MISTAKE

Falling forward onto your hands -> reaching for the toes by folding at the waist, so your weight drops outside the board on the toe side -> keep your hips over the board and stay tall; load the toes only from the ankle down.
