which one is which? i was under the impression that a sw nollie was when you popped off your tips, just like a nollie but switch but my friend is telling me a switch nollie is when you pop off your tails.
I believe a switch nollie is popping off your tails. Because if you didn't know which way the skier was facing and just saw the movement of the skis it would be like a nollie

In which situation would you ever not be able to tell which direction the skier was facing?
GetPittedSwitch nollies do not exist. Popping off your tips while skiing switch is a switch ollie. Popping off your tails while switch is a fakie ollie.
Tw1nk1sfakie ollie and switch nollie are the same thing
sure, but fakie ollie makes alot more sense, because your stance hasn't changed but the direction you're going has. Therefore the term switch nollie doesn't apply, just like in skateboarding.

I get what you are saying, but from the general consensus I've seen from other threads is that skiier go switch not fakie, therefore we call it a switch nollie not fakie Ollie even tho they are the same

yea true, we call backwards switch, which in itself could be argued since our bindings dont turn around or move over the ski, therefore our stance doesnt change, really making it more fakie than switch.
Realistically though thats not gonna change and doesn't really need to. But in this case it just makes way more sense calling it a fakie ollie, atleast its a real term from skating not a redundant one like "switch nollie". After all we're borrowing all these terms from skateboarding and applying them to skiing, It would make sense to atleast follow skateboardings train of logic if we're going to use their terms.
