Help with Nose butter 3s

So I've been really wanting to try a nose butter 3. I just wanted to know if you guys can give tips on technique, I don't want to nail my face because I butter to hard. So basically how to get the proper amount of buttering and how to keep your tips planted. My biggest worry is messing up and having my tips leave the snow and then just doing a 3. I'll be doing 'em off humps just to clarify.
 
my favorite trick by far. Start coming into the roller and then just huck your weight onto the tips of your skis (basically 180) make sure you lift up your heels when u do it and kind of kick your skis back then just let your body come around. You just have to huck it a couple times of a slushy roller.
 
I'll give you a real response. First off, find a good location to learn. A cat track is a perfect location, or any sort of flat snow transitioning into a downward slope. Knuckles of jumps are a good spot because you can come in really hot and take your nose butter deep down the landing. Make sure your DIN is high enough so that your bindings won't explode and leave you face-down in the snow.

Approach your drop with your weight forward, and your shings pressed into the front of your boots. Pivot 180 degrees on the front of your skis. Try to have nothing but your noses on the snow at this point, with your body pressing into your skis. Example:

This is where you need to POP. Keep turning your head - look for your landing and your body will follow. Once you land a 3, try to add some rotation. Nose butter 540's are really dope and aren't that much harder.
 
In my opinion learn them off cat tracks first then move into knuckles then jumps.

After jumps try butters in pow, still working on that shit
 
one thing that helped me was using my arms to get a lot of momentum to help initiate the spin. I have to huck them a lot harder than regular 3's.
 
Collin Collins has too much steeze...

also, I learnt them by just trying butter 180's on snow without leaving the ground at all (except for my tails) and after I was comfortable with that ten you can start taking them to jumps and from there on add more rotations
 
When you guys do nosebutters do you prefer to pop to 180 or just slide into them? Before seeing that video i've always like spun on the ground into them but i might have to try that.
 
i feel like smearing it is more styly, and 180ing is kind of cheating, it is easier to do the 180 one when u have stiffer skis tho.
 
if you get the red ring youre fucked

but really its all in the skis

Ive found i like doing it on my very stiff yet very rockered fatties, they let me really load up the pressure in my tips in pow or slush, and then the second 180 just pops around on its own. But when ive skied on softer park skis, i like to let it really smear and then its more of a traditional spin. So for me at least the snow conditions and the skis im on really changes the way i go about it.
 
I think you need Al Dentes... lol but realy just practice buttering on rollers then after you feel good try a 180 after the butter
 
prob wont have to worry about this. chances are your first attempt you wont butter very much. when i first nosebutter 3s i was just spinning the 1 on the snow with out being on my tips. but remember to shirt your wait to the front of your skis and you will be good.
