Just put a bit more pressure on you shins than usual I guess, it's mainly going out and trying it for yourself to get the feel of it.

where exactly are they mounted? To ski switch in pow it's best to be center mounted, you can maybe get a way with +2 but anything past that it might look/feel a little weird

As someone else said, pressure your shins. It's such a sick feeling but definitely takes some practice.

You need to be able to link up turns on groomers smoothly before giving it a shot in the pow. And like that guy up there said, be able to look over both shoulders.
