Ski 50-50.

1. Line up squarely in front of the box so your board runs parallel to the rail (the long edge of the box), and approach in a straight line at a slow, steady speed that still keeps you moving.

   Coming in at an angle turns the board sideways the moment you get on, so an edge catches and throws you off.

2. Two to three meters before you get on, bend both knees slightly (about 30 degrees) and stack your hips directly over your feet.

   Keep your weight split evenly between your front and back foot, not leaning either way. Loading one end makes the board swing around on top of the box.

3. As you ride onto the box, set the board flat against the surface through the middle of your feet (the arch), with no lean toward the toe edge or the heel edge.

   A box is far more slippery than snow, so even a tiny edge tilt will grab and drop you.

4. Once you're on, don't add any new movement.

   Hold that same posture of softly bent knees and hips over your feet, and ride straight across. Look past the exit end of the box toward where you want to go, not at your feet or the box surface. Your body stays steady in the direction you look.

5. As you cross the tail end (the exit) of the box, extend both knees just slightly to meet the snow, and land flat through the middle of your feet again.

   If an edge is engaged on the way off, it bites the snow and pitches you forward.
