How to
Step by stepRide into a medium slope with enough speed to keep the board gliding (not so fast you can't stop).
Just before the turn, set your eyes on the turn exit, the direction you want to come out of the arc.
Enter a heelside turn and sink down by bending your knees (about 100 degrees, shins leaning slightly forward).
Press the board firmly here so the heel edge bites into the snow.
Just past the apex of the turn, let that pressure go for an instant.
Extend your knees quickly to let your body rise, the bitten edge goes shallow, and the board starts to slide sideways.
The moment it starts sliding, shift your weight onto your back foot's heel (about 40 front, 60 back).
The tail washes out while the nose stays as a pivot, swinging the board sideways. Keep your upper body and gaze already pointing at the turn exit so your lower body follows it, this makes the rotation effortless rather than forced.
With the board now sideways, scrape the snow with the heel edge to throw a spray out behind you.
Don't over-tilt the board, drag lightly on the heel side and control how much you shave.
When you want to finish, roll your weight from the back-foot heel toward the toes, line the board back up with your direction of travel, and return to normal riding.
Tips & common mistakes
In the app — learn while you logA slash is really about lightening an edge that was biting, letting the board slide sideways, and using that sideways board to push snow backward. So the key moment is releasing the pressure you had, not adding more. Without that release the edge stays locked in and the board won't slide.
The tail won't swing out and it becomes just a heelside turn → your release is too late, or you're still on the front foot. Extend the knees to drop the pressure at the apex and switch onto the back-foot heel at that instant, and the tail will wash out.
