How to Butter on a Snowboard
The term “butter” in snowboarding does not refer to the same butter that is made from cows milk, however it slightly relates to the action you perform when buttering a slice of toast. This is a quick guide on how to butter on a snowboard. A butter on a snowboard is the action of rotating your snowboard while raising one end of your snowboard as you pivot around the opposite end of the board. It is a very hard manouvre to explain and so I will post a video on buttering a snowboard shortly. Because you can perform a butter over either end of your snowboard, there are two different types of butter you can perform on your snowboard.
A nose butter (pivoting on the nose of your snowboard) and a tail butter (you can work this our for yoursleves). A butter on a snowboard is not to be confused with a press. A nose or tail press on a snowboard normally refers to rails and when you perform a press you do not generally rotate like you would in a butter.
