Toe-Edge Turns

Toe-edge turns have you facing uphill with your weight on your toes. This feels less natural because you can't see downhill as easily. Press your toes and shins into the front of your boots and lean into the slope.

Key tips

• Press your shins into the boot tongues
• Look over your leading shoulder to see where you're going
• Keep your knees bent — standing tall on toeside is unstable
• Practice falling-leaf traverses on your toeside first
