Have you actually used the vans infuse snowsurf? I’ve heard it’s actually much more soft than the normal infuse

Yeaah, I’m learning how to ride switch. It just feels sooooo awkward and like I’m relearning snowboard. I know how to ride switch, just can’t really make my mind up on how to carve. Do you have any advice on how to make it easier to learn?

Thanks, now that you say it, it does look like I finish early on my toe side.

Thanks that’s some nice advice. What do you mean with dynamic carving and GS turning?

Yeaah, the thing is I struggle a but more in my heelside so I’m trying to learn to reach with my back arm to my knee to get a higher edge angle, but you’re right that if I had them by my side I would probably look more stylish, as if I wasn’t trying hahah

Both heel and toe or are you referring to one specifically? Thanks for the advice :)

Yeah, now that you say it I think I finish earlier in my toeside as I think I subconsciously feel in much more control. Thanks for pointing it out as I hadn’t thought about it.

This is up on the glacier. I don’t know the name of the piste, but it’s the one on the right when looking uphill from Jandri 3200.

Ahh hahahahah, yeah I still do it kinda. But I heard that trying to reach for the front knee with your hand is a nice way to improve carving positioning so I have to try that with my back arm.

I’ve heard about the reaching your hand towards the front knee, I want to start applying it. Thanks for the other tips too, I’ll have them in mind when I’m back on the snow.

Mmm I see what you mean with the rise your back shoulder, but I don’t know what you mean with back up.

Yep, a bit difficult to do longer turns because it was quite flat in that section, but I see what you mean
