How do I swerve?

I recently got a classic case of skiers thumb and won't be able to hold a pole until April. I've opted for no poles cause one pole is confusing. I feel the swerve slowly coming over me but I don't know how to fully embrace it.

hand drags, lazy boys, and nose butters. Also shifties and purposely land spins 90 degrees short so you can shuffle the landing and enter a #loosebutlit swerve/butter

Wear your goggles on your helmet, but backwards, no matter the conditions.

when you barely pull off a trick and you're all back seat and arms are twisted around your body, just tell everyone that it is your personal style and has nothing to do with poor execution

Put your skis on edge and then roll your body into the motion instead of actively skiing.

Once you go without polls you never go back! Two less things to hurt yourself with!
