Mastering the moguls…
Spring is just around the corner and with it, sun, warmth, corn snow and bumps (or moguls). The latter inevitably build up on many of the runs. Here are a few useful tips.
- Keep your skis turning all the time. (Wide, shaped skis with soft tips are easiest to manage*.)
- Avoid traversing between turns. Keep a rhythm going.
- Adopt a narrower stance with your skis closer together to increase the directional mobility of your feet.
- Use the tops of the bumps as a turning platform.
- Do a firm pole plant at the tops of the bumps.
- Adjust the path and shape of your turns so you touch the bumps first with the front end of your skis. If you hit the bump with the side of your feet, you’ll cause an impact that can destabilize you.
- Move quickly towards the front and inside of the curve so that the front end of your skis regain contact with the snow below the bumps.
- And remember, softness and finesse are more effective than roughness….
