Difference between cab and switch

I see these terms getting tossed around as if the slang of it and the coolness are more important than the accuracy.
Truth is: cab is switch frontside for snowboarding and switch is switch backside.
So, there is no switch rightside while the next guy comments about the same trick and says cab rightside. figure it out.

I dont really know, but correct me I thought that cab was when you take off fakie and land fakie and switch is just fakie up to the jump or whatever and you land facing forward

stop making this harder than it is. we don't have frontside and backside on skis. cab=fakie=switch.
and tanaka actually the only time i've seen dirty ever used was a 2003 freeze magazine trick tips issue, and it just meant "unnatural." JF did a an unnatural forwards 360 and they called it a "dirty" 3.
my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

no we shouldn't because different people have different naturals and even though pros can throw spins both sides perfectly not everyone can do that.

Who gives a fuck? Makes no difference when your best trick is a snowplow. Hahaha kidding.
IMO, using cab for a trick only sounds good if it was a 7 or more, 'cos think about it - don't you think saying "oh yeah maaan I pulled a sick-as CAB-180 then..." sounds homo? Same with whoever it was on the previous page who said switch for rails and cab for airs, that works.

go ask tony hawk if switch and cab are the same thing?
go ask travis rice if switch and cab are the same thing?
go ask the editor of thrasher if switch or cab are the same thing?
go ask the editor of twsnbing if switch or cab are the same thing?
go ask the sources who created these terms not the skiing industry who once again adopted, abused, and allows the creators to subconsciousloy say, "this skiing kid doesn't know what the f_ck their talking about."

nah, switch and cab and fakie are the same thing. there is seriously no such thing as backside and frontside on skis so therefor this whole thread is a load of horseshit.
because I like poop.

A switch 3 by any other name would smell -- I mean look -- as sweet. Skiing isn't snowboarding or skateboarding and we can call our tricks whatever we want. Eventually things will standardize. I don't give a shit what a snowboarder thinks about a ski trick. Why should I give a shit what he thinks about what I call it?
I think the same way as Kamikazee. And we in Finland call :
Swicht unnatural spins = Swicht
Fakie regular spins = Fakie
its just the easiest way,
Those cab spins just doesnt sound right in skiing.

all i know is that a cabelariel(sp) is a switch backside 360 on a skateboard. so a half cab on a skateboard is a switch b/s 180, since there is no b/s//f/s in skiing i don't use cab, unless i do switch 1, just to be quick i say half cab

and on a skateboard a full cab is def a BACKSIDE 360, and by backside i mean that if you are ride regular you will do a cab spinning to the right, and opposite for someone who rides goofy
