Help with Skiing Bumps/Moguls

[chodo]

I like to consider myself a fairly good skier, but my weakest ski skill set is the bumps. I have been working on and getting better at ripping them, but still want to be able to do it smoother with more speed and rhythm.

Anyone have any good tips for improving in this area?

get low and face your shoulders down the fall line. and ski a ton of bumps. don't go fast and try to zipper em because you won't really progress doing that. just practice keeping your upper body perpendicular to the fall line and maintain a relaxing speed and I think you'll progress.

There's different approaches to it. And the size of the moguls depends on how you approach them . If small enough you can just skim them with speed . But to ski them with form , learn to spot your path, find a line and stick to it, learn to slide your tails into the slots between the moguls. Pole plants are key. Keep your hands out and head up , don't get in the backseat . Pace yourself at first.

Pole plant / hand placement if your going fast enough and also knees. Gotta loosen up the knees take the hit. Try to keep your skis down don't want to jump. Hit the inside of the moguls

Keep your hands down the hill, and imagine a roof right over your head. That will keep your knees soft and help your absorb the bumps.

just point and pray

Some of the bet advice i ever got was to keep your toes slightly up, like you are trying to slide a playing card under them. It helps you a ton if you tend to end up backseat, cause if you're backseat in the bumps you're fucked. Staying compact over your skis (if that makes sense) is soooo important

Look ahead and really apply pressure to tips of skis use knees alot and find a good rythm with your plants and turns. Skiiny skis help too heep feet kinda close together

Actively think about/focus on weighting your skis in the troughs, then unweighting on the moguls, as well as keeping your knees together and shoulders pointing down the hill/fall line.

Aim for the sides, and then pump the back sides

Zipper-lining slush bumps is the funnest thing a person can do on skis.

Guaranteed.
