What coaches agree on

  • Absorb each bump by flexing your legs as you go up and into it, then extending them down into the trough - this keeps your skis in contact with the snow through the whole mogul field.
  • The top of the bump is your friend: it's the flattest, most balanced spot on the mogul, which makes it a great place to plant your pole and pivot into your next turn.
Show more
  • Shift your weight from ski to ski through the turn, carrying most of your pressure on the outside ski - just as you would on a groomed run.
  • No single technique works on every bump: match your approach to its size and spacing, whether that means pivoting on top of it, reaching for the neighboring bump, or slicing a long bump into two or three smaller turns.

How to Ski Moguls: A SImple Sequence

Reviewer Crest-pivot-seesaw-skid — simple, memorable, and it actually works.

Moderator Whole video is built around one memorable mogul sequence (crest, pivot, seesaw, skid), demonstrated repeatedly on real bumps. Couldn't be more squarely on-topic.

Tactics for skiing Moguls

Reviewer Clear, vivid, and correct - one of the better tactical breakdowns here.

Moderator Entire video is mogul line tactics - contrasting the racer's zipper line with a flowy sustainable line, anatomy of a mogul, matching turn shape to bump size. Squarely on-topic throughout.

Reviewer This is coach-to-coach detail — the absorption/heel-piece cue is gold if you already know the vocabulary.

Moderator This is two coaches dissecting exactly how to teach mogul position and movement to young athletes — arm box, spine posture, absorption mechanics, heel piece placement. Every sentence is about moguls.

How To Ski Bumps / Moguls - Advanced Ski Lesson #6.4

Reviewer Clear, structured, and actually useful - good coaching.

Moderator This is squarely a moguls lesson - finding manageable bumps, three concrete ways to handle them (on top, around, using the backside as a brake), planning your first few turns. Exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Great structure — builds from a simple drill into the real skill, and the peak-to-peak line tip alone is worth the watch.

Moderator Squarely on-topic — this is exactly how you'd teach a first-timer to ski bumps: the mini-mountain analogy for the up-foot/down-foot swap on the backside of a mogul, then peak-to-peak line choice for speed control. Two real mogul-specific concepts, nothing generic.

Reviewer Actual progression you could take to the hill and drill.

Moderator Squarely on-topic: named progressive drills (single bump extension, retraction-extension pivot slip, ultra low and slow) that build the core absorption movement for mogul skiing.

Reviewer Clean progression with an analogy that actually helps — solid intro lesson.

Moderator Literally built as a first-mogul-run progression: stance, traverses, then linking bumps. On-topic the whole way through.

Moderator Builds the actual mogul movement pattern - leg rotation, narrowing turn radius, hip position - step by step from open terrain into the bumps. This is mogul technique, not general parallel skiing dressed up.

Reviewer Genuinely useful breakdown of how the legs and hips work in the bumps.

Reviewer Explains the why, not just the what - this is real expert-level coaching.

Moderator Detailed technical coaching on retraction, foot-to-foot independent leg action, and square hips/shoulders for quickness, explicitly compared to slalom racing dynamics throughout. Squarely on-topic.

Reviewer Elite-level insight, and she connects it clearly back to the actual turn in the bumps.

Moderator Real interview with an Olympic moguls athlete, covering fundamentals (wide-stance outside-foot pressure, knee roll) explicitly mapped onto how it shows up in an actual mogul turn, plus zipper-line specifics like wrist/pole-plant timing. Squarely on-topic.

Why You Suck At Skiing Moguls | Tips to Improve Your Bumps Skiing

Reviewer Real teaching — explains the mechanism, not just the buzzword.

Moderator Dead center on the sub-skill — absorption mechanics, retraction vs extension, backed by an interview with a US freestyle team athlete and actual Carve turn-graph data. Nothing here is padding, it's all mogul technique.

Reviewer The falling-leaf drill alone is worth the watch.

Moderator Entirely about mogul-specific movements — ankle articulation for absorption, falling-leaf steering drill, foot-to-foot pressure. Not a single tangent.

Reviewer Explains the 'why' behind the tactic, not just the 'what' — that's what separates coaching from demoing.

Moderator This is squarely a mogul tactics lesson start to finish — side-slipping fundamentals into using the neighboring bump, managing edge angle, avoiding T-boning the bump. Every minute is spent teaching moguls specifically, nothing generic bolted on.

Reviewer The 'trough as your trigger' cue is genuinely useful, well explained.

Moderator Directly about mogul absorption timing — manual vs reactive leg lift, and anticipating the bump instead of getting hit by it. Core mogul technique.

Reviewer Names the common mistake and gives you a specific, memorable fix for it.

Moderator Entire video is one specific mogul drill (the 'tick tock' knee-drive drill) with the explicit goal of getting skiers to turn all over the mogul instead of just banging off the tops. Squarely on-topic.

Reviewer A drill that fixes something specific, not just generic advice.

Reviewer Solid one-tip drill, just don't expect a full breakdown.

Moderator Short but squarely about mogul technique -- weighting one ski going up the back of the bump and switching to the other coming down for grip. Exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Clear, actionable fix — the heels-behind-hips cue is a keeper.

Reviewer Clear explanation of the line, though this one is really just the intro.

Moderator Squarely about mogul tactics - lays out the 'blue line' path across a bump field, flat top into the neighbouring mogul's fall line and repeat, not generic skiing tips.

Reviewer Explains the why behind the gear, not just what to buy — worth it before you shop.

Moderator Squarely about gearing up for moguls specifically — why wide, all-mountain skis (92-98 underfoot) don't work in the bumps, why 77 underfoot is the sweet spot, and why boot stiffness/ankle flex matters more in moguls than almost any other discipline. It's equipment rather than movement, but it's equipment for this exact discipline, from a coach whose athlete is a World Cup mogul skier.

Reviewer Correct cues, but likely light on actual explanation.

Moderator Framed as a POV 'what it's like' experience clip, but the caption bakes in real technique cues -- compact stance, knees bent, hips centered, weight over the skis.
