Back-Side or Heel-Side Fall

Step 1

Begin by orienting the board so that it's on your downhill side and perpendicular to the slope - not pointing downhill.

Step 2

Scoot your bottom close to the board.

Step 3

Put your hands down behind you and push yourself up over the top of your board.

Step 4

Rotate your shoulders toward the nose of the board as you rise. Your chest will be on your forward knee and your forward hand will be the last thing to leave the snow.

Step 5

Stand up, pressing with your forward leg.
