How to Butter on Skis | Powder

What you will Learn in this Ski Tutorial

This video is a tutorial on how to perform nose butters on skis in powder snow. Jens emphasizes the importance of first learning the technique on slopes before attempting it in powder. Nose butters in powder require a more nose-heavy approach and can be more challenging but also more fun. Jens demonstrates the technique, providing detailed instructions on body positioning, hand movements, and timing. They also explain how to incorporate nose butters into turns and progress to steeper slopes for more hang time.
