Yo im pretty nooby too and basically what i do to spin on a box is just do a spin onto the box like a 180 and dont spin it too hard or you will become unbalanced super easy then once your on the box just keep a good center of gravity and at times kinda shift your weight as you would in the air to get more spin

Come on to it like a two sev, you can come short if you want to spin, but just keep going with your shoulders. Don't stop your rotation. As for switchups, depending on which way you want to spin, dip your ski with your toe edge for backside, and heel for frontside and spin the switch up. make sure you hop it enough though for rails.

In my first year I got all four 450's out of rails and one 630. All my old home mountain had was rails... And I went a lot...
