Skiing moguls

Skiing / Popular

Absorb and extend through bumps and pick a line.

What coaches agree on

  • Absorb the bump by flexing your legs and drawing your knees up as it hits, then extend your legs again as the terrain falls away on the far side — the opposite leg motion from a normal carved turn.
  • Pick your line across the crests or tops of the bumps rather than skiing straight through the troughs — using a bump's crest, or the neighboring mogul, gives you room to shape and control your turn.
Show more
  • Shift your weight onto one ski at a time through each turn, favoring the outside foot, rather than skiing with even pressure on both feet.
  • Keep your upper body quiet and facing down the hill, and let your legs and skis handle the turning underneath you.
