360s are pretty easy, u dont have to go very big at first. safety grabs are really easy and they look kinda sweet. Mutes arent bad, Japans. Just go for whatever feels good!

I would start out with upright jumps, like a 180 or a 360. I think a Safety would be easy or just try a cliff drop, not dangerous in the powder if you don't go to big.

180 are easy if done right and they look really nice. tail grabs and japans are easy. go for the 180 first though, it looks great

I would say to try 180 then 180 safety. then try to go bigger and try a 360, when you can grab the 360, it is easy yo get other trick.

Dude, if you want yet another opinion, read on.

Just grab. It'll feel good whatever you do. Really helps you feel solid in the air. Mute, tail, its all good.

small spins like 180 and 360 are really easy. crosses are easy too.

Don't listen to these guys. There asking for way too much. 'Dahh! Try a 360 your first time doing tricks, because its so easy for a beginner!' No, thats just stupid. Do whatever you can, just make it look good and don't be stupid about it, don't get hurt.

Hey, i just started trying tricks too, today i went to my local hill and pulled a 360 off of a big jump and underrotated, i ended up getting a minor consussion by banging my head, DONT GO BIG, try a 180 first off of a little jump then move up to 180 grab and then 360, or maybe before that try straight grabbing, and stick to smaller jumps and go big once you get the tricks down smooth.

Start small... as in skiing accross the hill, jumping, 180, landing backwards, and then jumping back to forwards.

After you can 180 on flat ground, you can do it off lumps of snow. Start going off kickers and tables, just staying still in the air. Then try tucking your legs up, try crossing your skis in front of you. Try tucking your legs up, and grabbing a boot - safety grab. Try tucking and grabbing a ski below the boot and pushing the other leg down - a liu kang. Try crossing your skis and grabbing one of them in front of your boot (left hand to right ski or right hand to left ski) - a mute grab. Now try 180's off bigger jumps and keep working on tweaking your grabs.

After that, go for a 360, or try out the halfpipe. You should be pretty confident in the air by now. I'm at that stage right now - looking to nail a 360 on the next good jump I see.

Learn to ballsy first with striaght airs then when your ready start throwing grabs and spins, (this comes much easier with a racing background or Norquay 90 foot table)
