switch tails=going switch on but tails over the rail first
switch lip=switch on noses over first
it doesnt make a difference if theres no stepup

Assuming the skier is right foot forward

Switch on - Rail isn't a step up, hop on and slide normally
Switch Lip - Rail is a step up, hop on from the right side of the lip, slide right foot forward
Switch Tails - Rail is a step up, hop on from the left side of the lip, slide right foot forward

heres the real answer:
