Is there a good, flat place for this near Hood River? I know we get enough winter wind on Mt Hood!

How do you guys keep from catching your leading edges when sliding sideways? Raised edges? Concentration? The same way we learned not to touch hot stoves or lick frozen flagpoles?
It must become second nature at some point.

Yes, but I can't imagine that's becoming second nature when sliding so often in so many directions, especially when spinning. Is second nature (after thousands of snagged edges, I presume) all there is to it?

Most snowboarder's can do endless 360 loops, sliding either toe and heal side, while going down the mountain.
Key is leaning your upper body uphill, so only the uphill edge is weighted, the downhill edge free off the snow.
Like a lot of spin jumps, it matters not at all how you land, because your weight up back and uphill, the edges don't catch.
