Pret 270 out?

I was watching the three musketeers attempting pret 270's out at Granite Gorge this past weekend, and trying to figure out how to do them.

Is the best way to lock the back ski in, and use it to force your body into the opposite spin? I would imagine locking in would be hard to do on alot of features. Is that the best method?

when you 270 on get balenced first, then instead of looking at the end of the rail which will make you come out straight or setup for 270 out, look back towards the lip which will start to spin you the other way then just get your head around and your skis should follow. but then again im still workin on them too..

Yeah, that's about it, just keep practicing.  Getting balanced is the first part, then if you can do it to switch you will start to get the feel of rotating the opposite way.  Once you do that you just try a couple hundred times and you'll get it.

use the front foot to stop the spin by tilting you tip down and using your toes/ball of front foot to get set for the 270 back the other way.

Try to get 270 on sw out first, and the uphill 270 out(if you spin left its gonna be your unnatural blind 270 off) sw on uphill 270 out is also good practice for stoping your mommentum

Its all in how you tilt your skis.  tilting the toe of your front ski down, will stop rotation for a pretzel or help you spin blind out.  Tilting the back ski down will help you spin regular fs out.

make the x with your skis, look up the hill and spin off. i find doing swtich pret is a lot easyer because your already looking down hill, do that a few times to get the feeling of spinning on one way and off the other then move on to doing it regular
