Duh! Doesn't everyone know that an ollie is doing a small jump by lifting the nose of the board first then quickly lifting the rear, thus jumping into the air without a the help of a ramp or jump. Off the ridge, is over a roll, cliff or the top of something. (in this case I am assuming a roll or small cliff by how you used it in your context). And drop into a bowl, is a large area of snow that is usually free from obstructions and has a concave type of appearance. (not to be confused with a pipe) That rocks. What would be really cool is if you did a backside 180 nose grab while you ollie off the ridge, big air, stick it fakey and pull some sweet carves in the bowl. Impress the Betty's.
