From skipowd.tv :

Magnus breaks down the technical mechanics of the switch handplant within the Zermatt Terrain Park. Precise edge control and upper body strength are essential when approaching the transition backwards. Through firm hand placement on the snow, the skier ensures a stable pivot before landing cleanly. Focusing on the inverted balance required for this specific trick helps freestyle enthusiasts maintain control throughout the entire rotation.

Overview and significance Snowpark Zermatt is one of Europe’s highest and most reliable freestyle venues, set on the Theodul Glacier above the car-free village of Zermatt with the Matterhorn as a permanent backdrop.
