Butter envy

One thing about snowboarders that always makes me jealous is their ability to dick around the mountain with butters and other little shit like that when the snow or park is shitty. So two questions:
1. What ski is the flexiest and enables one to butter easiest and with tips/tails highest in the air?

2. Out of curiosity, what types of flatland type tricks do you skiers out there do when you're dicking around the mtn.

2 1/2. The thing Gagnier does in WHiteshine where he kinda spins on the noses of his skis, how the hell would one go about attempting that?

I have Fujatives and I was switch buttering and touched my elbow to the ground, It was nuts. I like to ride switch, carve real hard and pop up onto my tails. It's soooo fun.

I can't butter to save my life on my 177 Karmas, but on some old 170 Salomon 720's they're easier than falling over.

I'm having a hell of a time even loading up my Karmas to ollie, though I think a big part of it is that I'm locked into stiff skis with Atomic Race:11 boots which feel like wearing a plastic cast so I can't get any spring from my ankles it's all coming from the knees.

today at Breck I saw a kid who was maybe 5 years old buttering on some little kid skis. I don't think he even knew he was doing any kind of trick, but it still looked pretty cool.

Fujative are soft in the nose, stiffer in the tails than publics.

Invaders are soft as fuck, and so are the t-halls, but the softest are definately the Line Elizabeths


I can nose butter, but very good at switching up into tail. all you do is lean forward, and push your knees in. Iff your knees aren't bent and pushed in, it looks like shit. It is also easier to hold and it hurts less if you bend your knees into it.

invaders are the best

I try to lean back or foward liek im tryin to fall on my ass but i cant really do that so i pretty much end up nice and good and i spin

its hard to teach buttering just keep popping up on your nose or tails and i just comes to you

t-halls are the tits for buttering. i have some line skogens as well but i can butter all day long on the t-halls. ive also ridden invaders and those have alot of butter potential as well. both excellent choices.
