Try to avoid ass shots if possible.
Timing should be a peak height of the trick with the subject facing you. Hopefully you know snowboarding/skiing so you know how to time certain tricks in terms of best style / grab / spin moments.
Check out snowboard/ski magazines to see the type of shots those pro photographers do. Check out past Red Bull Illume contest winners. Pic related: Lorenz Holder's winning shot from 2013. Obviously not something you'll be shooting, but God damn do I love good action sports photography. It can be so dang good.
