Any tips/tricks i should know about riding switch, besides going backwards. I already used the searchbar and found nothing of use.

Insane

Same progression as klearning to carve/si going fowards

how did you learn to ski...do that same sequence switch

practice and work on lead changes/hip angles/transitions between turns...dont be static and practice on all types of terrain

@th1337

keep your skis parallel, don't be afraid to lean back into it a little, stay off both your inside edges and doing the backwards erect snowplow.

the way I think of it, its like traversing backwards downhill. just stay on your left or right edges.
