First off axis rotation

it is definitely scary to try something new on snow for the first time, especially off axis or inverted tricks. we didn't evolve with much reason to go inverted or to spin quickly, so we're sort of fighting our own biology and instincts when doing spins and flippydoos. i'd say that you should continue to practice on the tramp but don't take it to snow until you actually feel ready. don't let anyone pressure you into going upside down until you feel properly ready for it. you should be nervous but excited, not nervous and terrified. as long as you are having fun skiing, that should be enough.

i'm sure you've seen those videos of someone ill-prepared to try a backflip go for it anyway.. how often do they land entirely on their back, head, or neck? you do not want to be that person. if you ski somewhere that gets a lot of snow, trying it into pow for your first time could be a good option. it doesn't guarantee safety but it increases the margin for error. make sure you can see the trick completely in your mind before doing it. if there is any part of the flip or rotation that you can't see in your mind, i'd highly recommend continuing to conceptualize it before taking it to snow. now, assuming you are ready to go upside down, the most important thing to do is to commit. assuming you've got it resolved in your mind and you genuinely commit, that's the best prepared you can be and gives you the best chance of success. have fun and be safe

misty 5 prolly easiest

As with most tricks you need to make sure you still get the same good pop you would get as if you were doing a straight air. Its hard but stay calm on the takeoff no matter what youre trying

backflip is always a good first inverted trick, you are only blind to the landing for a very short time.

misty 5 is another good option for first off axis, especially if you are more comfortable with forwards inverted stuff.

the first one is always just a huck, but if you can do them dialed on trampoline, they translate pretty well to snow.

good luck!

Flat 3 is a good one, and if you have the set down you won’t go too inverted. It’s hard to fall too bad on a flat 3 compared to a backflip, so I prefer flat 3s.

misty, depends on whether or not you are comfortable popping forward off of a jump. I don’t like to do them.

go for frontflip off a cat track into powder. then maybe try misty 5 off a jump.

Hand drag/ plant 3 is a good one. Pretty low consequence cuz you don’t need to get that far off the ground. Carve a 3, pop and dip your noggin while putting hands out. Or if you don’t want to drag Lincon is good too.
