What's your strategy for skiing bumps/moguls?

The Bell Curve of Hating Moguls

Yesterday I skied a short bump line for a warmup, then off to the steeps. Sorta bumpy there too, but it feels completely different, def slower turns.

I should ski more bumps...

For me the key is alway looking a couple of bumps ahead. If I do this the skis know what to do. If my eyes get stuck my skis get stuck. Mind you we're talking about slow skiing easy bumps befitting my age. The only videos I'm likely to be on are Jerry of the Day.

So that's how you do it?

Sounds suspiciously like a telemark technique.

So good, and inspiring! Love watching her drills and movements, and trying to replicate them when I'm out skiing. And then trying to take that into the bumps.

Trying being the operative word!

Ski up to em, look down, continue skiing the mellow groomer.

My strategy is to be better than you.

Eyes up.
Weight forward.
The steeper the hill, the more aggressive you need to be on absorbing, extending, and finishing turns to keep up.
Finish every. Fucking. Turn.

Was hacking around this afternoon and the usual excuses came to mind "skis too wide, too long" (192 Mfree 108). Then I watched a teenager grease the same line on some 110 Sender Frees - skis glued to the snow the entire time, almost pumping in the troughs. Next run I mimicked his style and tried to ski more centered, pump and absorb and keep the entire ski on the snow in the trough etc. Greased it. Didn't get another run quite like it whether it was fatigue or losing the visual. Crazy how much "watch and learn" can help.

My recently acquired herniated L5/S1 has me leaning more towards the "avoid!" camp, but I have to ski 'em to enjoy the terrain I like most. I do think the days of sessioning MJ Challenger chair 2 weeks after any new snowfall are gone though, ha!

Years ago, i went to a mogul camp with Donna, learned a lot.

Repetition so the bumps become “your” bumps. And look ahead as I’ve stated earlier I’m pretty sure.
