Would be super cool and challenging on teles

Thanks RaisingArizona.

Celebrate skiing! You guys rule! If you can't have fun skiing with those dudes, you suck. I'm getting some "Be like Buster" bumperstickers made.

Oh, you should try and catch him at your local honky tonk. In addition to skiing, one of Buster's other talent is county music.

Only if you scrape off 12" of fresh to get to them...

smooth operator!

**TAFKALVS** · 04-08-2016, 02:45 PM

Looks like they've put the upper moguls in storage already?

**savemeasammy** · 04-09-2016, 01:40 PM

I don't see any dirt or boiler in those troughs. Photoshopped? [emoji6]

Bumps build character. Kudos to the guys who can huck and land in a hard mogul field and just ski off.

how does that work exactly? Do you just go in saying "my knees might explode, but oh well!"?

**skiNEwhere** · 04-12-2016, 10:06 AM

I'll ask Jonny Moseley next time I see him

Show me someone that doesn't like moguls and I'll show u someone that can't ski them

**Shredhead** · 04-12-2016, 05:50 PM

Lot's of old pro mogul skiers don't particularly like moguls any more.
Deep pow and steep flat faces are what this arthritic old bumper prefers.

OH, I know...lMy back can't take that shit anymore!

I should have said appreciate instead of like

**Cabinfever** · 04-25-2016, 04:48 AM

Three, two, one.

**itsnowjoke** · 04-25-2016, 05:05 PM

If you can't ski bumps well, you suck! Ha ha! Gaper!

**stuckathuntermtn** · 04-25-2016, 05:11 PM

Or my back hurts...

**stuckathuntermtn** · 04-27-2016, 09:36 AM

Slush bumping can be fun on a warm sunny day.

**Jiehkevarri** · 04-28-2016, 04:06 AM

Once a mogul skier, always a mogul skier...went to a local slopestyle contest just for the hell of it..."kids" thought I was pretty entertaining (old guy, teles, "daddy tricks", go figure

) Sorry about the shameless self-promotion here but still quite stoked...

Due to back problems, only a few years ago I thought that I would never ski zipper-line bumbs again properly, not to mention jumps like in the pics above...but then I started doing core-training regularly. Now - I go year by year but the goal is to keep skiing moguls/park until the 50s at least

( I am now 43 in September) OK, icy stuff is out of question but soft(ish) snow/slush will do! Gotta keep the kids entertained, heh.

BONUS:

Another local older ex-mogulskier guy with a monoski. He RULES (as I said earlier). Pretty crazy stuff IMHO:

Lots of (typical) jibby-spinny pics here. Gotta say (freestyle)skiing is in safe hands these days. Was pretty nice to be still somehow involved with all that energy...(if you got time to scroll those pictures....there is e.g. a 15-year old girl doing perfect floaty backflips. A mogul skier girl BTW.)
