How to
Step by stepStart in switch stance (your usual back foot now in front) on a gentle slope, rolling slow enough to stay in control but not stall.
Don't turn yet — stand tall with even weight on both feet and get used to the reversed feel.
Begin a heelside turn.
Shift weight from the ball of your front foot back toward the heel, bend both knees to 70–90 degrees, and drop your hips. Square your pelvis to the switch direction of travel and look about 10 meters ahead toward the exit of the arc.
Switch to a toeside turn.
Press the snow with the balls of both feet and drive your shins into the front of the boot (the tongue) as you tip the board onto its toe edge. In switch you feel this front-shin pressure less, so consciously make it stronger.
Keep the edge angle shallow at first (15–30 degrees) and draw long, big arcs.
Once your front-foot tongue pressure feels solid, gradually raise the angle and tighten the turns.
Aim to exit both directions with the same depth and the same speed.
Count the turns on your weaker side and even out the number, run by run.
Tips & common mistakes
In the app — learn while you logYou sit back in switch because the front-shin pressure you normally apply without thinking is hard to produce with the wrong foot forward, so your body retreats toward your stronger, original back foot. Press the new front foot's shin into the boot tongue first, then tip the board — your weight settles forward naturally.
You sit back and the tail (rear) washes out → the front-foot shin pressure has dropped and your weight is stuck behind → at the turn entry, press the new front foot's shin into the boot tongue first, then tip the board.
