Nosepressing on ski's

Can anyone on here nosepress on skis and actually steer and keep control? Because if I press, switch or regular, I lose control within 5 seconds and my tips go either way. Nothing fancy on boxes and pow doesn't count either. We're talking groomers here.

Anyone has a video maybe? I just can't put enough power on my tips, just like when beginners try to do the pizza slice/V stop/turning thingy and their ski's cross all the time.

switch nosepresses are easy, look at some garret russel edits, however regular nosepresses sound kind awkward, i only do them to set an ollie and tap my tails

when doing a switch nosepress you can bend over and grab the tips of your skis and control/move them pretty easily. they are super fun to do and steezy lookin...

i foyu dont commit, youre going to get bucked, but if you trust it and put the weight over your noses youll lock in. it will take a while to get comfortable with your skis but youll be able to pop off the end once you get it.

I am not able to do them because my feet just slide up in my boots whenever I lean that far forward. And yes I'm aware my boots don't fit that well but I can't afford new ones and haven't been able to go to a bootfitter.
