Replying to question 1 I would learn nose butters on a mellow roller because it will still give you the feeling of doing one on a big roller but without the consequences. Doing them on flat is good for getting technique but doing a nose press 3 on ground is much different the doing a nose bud 3 off a knuckle

1. Honestly just try both, its not really a trick you can hurt yourself on. I like doing them on flatter ground but it might be easier to try on a knuckle, depends on how you ski.
2. Try 2 ons if you dont have em, then work to 2 on 2 off. Switch ups are also quite useful to get down

As for question 2 I would go for front swap and back swap

Start learning 360s and keep working on rails until you can do swaps and kinks

i can 3 and i don’t have any kinked or down rails at my resort so that’s an issue but swaps are my next goal

Leaving here disappointed that none of these were, in fact, trick questions

1.) For learning from the very basics (nb 1 or even just skiing switch and getting on the tips) flat ground, for nb 3's either work, for 5 and above you really want a roller.

2.) Do them on rails, learn lip on, learn them unnatural (also slide unnatural if you cant already). Then learn front and back swaps. If you can hop on a rail and immediately back swap in one fluid motion, try the 2 on.

Butter everywhere, I got good at butters by just doing them all the fucking time on flats, rollers, cliffs, cat tracks, you name it (off cat tracks were my personal favorite to learn on)
