today, in skiing like competitions and what poeple say, the terms "cab" "switch" "backwards" "tails facing forwards" "ass-first" all mean the same thing. sure u can argue all about snowboarding, and skateboarding that a "cab" is a switch 3 off the nose blah blah blah steve caballero. but is skiing skateboarding or snowbarding? no. thats y its diferent. switch 10, cab 10. same stuff. yeah....
