Hey I just started skiing park this year and want to start adding some grabs to my spins.  I spin the the left and want some grabs to do. Especially mute grabs...my question is, if im spinning to the left would it be easier to grab my right ski or my left ski?? Or is it just preferance... thanks

for mute grabs spinning to your left start out with grabbing your left ski with your right hand but you can do it the other way its just pretty hard

I spin to left, and I grab the right ski with my left hand while doing a mute. What grab is it, or is it just a mute grab?

wait, double grab? or just a left-handed mute? if its just a left handed mute, its called op (or opposite) mute, because you are grabbing with your leading hand, which is opposite of your right hand, which is easier to do. same idea with leading and trailing tail/blunt grabs

I wNt to say that I used to refer to those as inwards mutes. That's super like Dave chrichton in 2002 though eh? Sick grab though should see more. Good piece of advice would be to quickly learn "blunt" which is grabbing the very end of your ski. Very important that you get the exact top of the tail though or it's lame.
