How to
Step by stepChoose well-spaced trees where you can read the terrain ahead.
Start on a gentle pitch at a slow, steady speed you could stop from at any moment. Carry too much speed and you won't finish your turns between the trees, and your line choices vanish.
Look 2-3 trees ahead at the gap you're going to pass through (the visible patch of snow), not at the tree you're next to.
Your body naturally follows your eyes, so keeping your gaze on the gap sends your weight and upper body that way and starts the turn early. Stare at a tree and you'll get drawn into it.
Set up low: knees bent 70-90 degrees, pelvis slightly forward, both arms up around chest height pointing toward the next gap.
Staying low and forward lets your ankles and knees absorb bumps and react fast to sudden direction changes.
Make short turns by pressing onto the nose (front foot) while steering your pelvis toward the next gap, quickly alternating toe edge and heel edge.
Keep weight roughly 55 front / 45 back, with the back foot acting only as a light rudder. Riding the front foot turns the tip of the board sooner, so the turn starts faster.
Switch turns by extending your knees to rise slightly and flip the board, then immediately re-bend to sink.
Repeat this "rise and flip, sink and press" in rhythm with the tree spacing. As you sink, send your eyes to the next gap so the rhythm never breaks.
Avoid tree wells, fallen logs, and deep drifts; pick only lines where the snow runs continuously.
Don't force narrow gaps, bail to the open side one turn early. Always keep one open spot ahead where you could stop.
Tips & common mistakes
In the app — learn while you logLook at the gap, not the tree. Your body and board go where your eyes go, so keeping your gaze on the space you want starts each turn early and stops you from drifting into trees.
You get pulled toward a tree as you near it → your eyes locked onto the tree and your body followed your gaze. Keep looking at the gap of snow you're passing through and move your eyes to the next gap in steady rhythm.
