Side Hit.

1. Find a snow bank or natural roller along the trail edge with a clear lip (where the up-slope turns back down).

   The wall builds your takeoff angle for you, so you don't need to jump high on your own.

2. Approach the face at an angle, roughly 30 to 45 degrees.

   Hitting it head-on (square) launches you straight up and kills your flow, so come in at an angle to keep moving forward.

3. Hold a steady speed (just enough not to stall) and look at the lip of the wall.

   Slowing down right before it lets the wall push you back.

4. Just before you reach the lip, bend your knees to about 70 degrees to load, and press the wall with the full base of your board.

   Let the slope of the wall push your body up.

5. At the lip, extend your knees and lift off lightly.

   You don't need a hard pop; the wall gives you the upward push, so the board leaves the snow as you rise. Shift your eyes to where you want to land.

6. In the air, stay balanced over both feet and keep the board parallel to the slope.

   Hold your arms out at hip height to fine-tune your balance.

7. Keep watching your landing (a spot where the slope drops away), and bend your knees past 90 degrees to absorb the impact.

   Match the board's angle to the landing slope and touch down on the full base at once, then ride away.
