On the uphill side.

  1. Downhill side
  2. Dragging behind
  3. Uphill side ✔

Why: The uphill plant leg helps the rider lean into the hillside and control the sled. Reduce speed and hold firmly.

Huh, didn't know that: Semi-kneeling can also improve visibility in deep powder.

The dad joke
Why did the rider plant the uphill leg? Because someone had to hold up that side of the hill.
