There is not so much information about how to do a snow spray on the global net and since I`m unable to do a high spray, more information would be welcome

How can I get a very high spray? Is there a difference between FS/BS ? Should you pound your back foot suddenly, or should it be done smoothly?
Just a couple of things that come into my mind. For a high spray the snow should be better. But I saw some ppl doing a nice spray when I went indoor snowboarding (the normal indoor type snow, so not powder, more like some kind off loose sand) couple of weeks ago, so probably if you have the good technique you can do it everywhere.

Snowolf

Basically, if you want to kick up a wave of snow spray, you need speed for energy and when you are ready to spray, you aggressively turn into a hard side slipping turn with a high edge angle. As you go into this turn, you would push the rear foot toward the outside of the turn to really dig deep into the snow. Your momentum, edge angle and tail skid will get a decent wall of snow moving to the outside of the turn. The spray is created with the tail of the board.

If you are wanting to do this in order to spray people, a couple of things to think about...don`t do this to people you don`t know, it may produce an unpredictable reaction at best. When doing it for fun to horse around, keep in mind that any error can mean a loss of control and if your momentum is targeted toward the person, you could slam into them at a high rate of speed and cause serious injury. Just use your head and make sure you don`t create a dangerous situation should you loose control for any reason..

Thx for the info Snow. I like the advice to do it only with ppl I know

Gustov

oh i love spraying the little kids with snow. if i ever see em just sitting on the slope i make sure i go straight for em. i'm a little more hesitant to do it to adults though, i wouldn't want someone to actually confront me about it.

Hahaha...at least you`re honest about it....

Kind of like the guy you flip off in traffic only to see him next to you at the light and he is like a 900 pound gorilla..

Snowballs from the chairlift is just the best thing ever. At work we are always doing shit to each other and to patrol. Nothing funnier that being behind a chair full of rowdy kids and pelting a ski patroller you know fairly well with a snowball then pointing at them....

haha, yeah. and then you just try not to look over at him, knowing he'll be looking right back at you if you do

ah yes, snowballs. i like to hit my friends with em too. i remember riding a lift with 3 guys who were just throwing em at random people if they were sitting down on the slope. kind of a dick move, but i couldn't help but to find it kinda funny at the time.

jep that's a spray!
In a way, how I do it now, it is a bit like a carve where I let my backfoot slip out (push out). For a real explanation check Snowolfs reaction
