What's your strategy for skiing bumps/moguls?

Daffies in fart bags help immensely. Actually this run is where I spent most of my bump apprenticeship.

I ski Wanker Park so yeah...bumps...no choice. We specialize in bumps in the trees these days. Sometimes it is groomers only due to whatever the fuck these new school squared off dog shit moguls are.

But usually, it line choice. Low Impact Senior Skiing (tm). GSing two at a time, slow speed 'troller turns, double ups, traverses, dips in the trees. Whatever it takes. Luckily I know every inch of the mountain and tactical lines down every run. Never bump skiing for the sake of bump skiing. Leave that to the Mary Jane Die Hards and those with patches on their knees.

My strategy was just to try to keep up with Jill in college at Holiday Valley.



Also, I always imagined being Plake with a huge mohawk that you don't want to get messed up. Ever notice how still his head stayed? Replicate that, and you are skiing bumps like a champ.
See below, sans mohawk. See how quiet his upper body is? Visualize that and go.


We used to practice at HV on snowlerblades (Bigfeet at the time). Make fun all you want, but try to rip bumps on those things and then throw a pair of 210 PRE's on. You will be centered and rip.

Nowadays my bump skis are 186 98 underfoot, but the 188 Soul 7's my buddy just scored for me are going to get a workout soon at the 'Bird. Nothing beats uncontrollable speed to get you right in the bumps. More slidey surface the better, I think.

I competed against the Rawls brothers and Mike Kloser.
I skied them like gates and was always the first down, yet I never won.
