Mogul Skiing

[Hannyskis]

I just got into skiing bumps this past season, and its basically all I did the whole year

 

[Hannyskis]

Just wondering what other peoples feelings on skiing bumps are

 

[magic_steve]

if its a really nice line of bumps, its just as fun as the park if not more.

 

[Hannyskis]

I like bumps cause yo can ski the same run over and over again all day and its different every time

 

[Hannyskis]

what do you think are the best mogul skis?

I'm interested in getting a pair of twin tips, but I want a pair that will be good in he bumps too

 

[TheButterHashira]

i love bumps winterparks mary jane has great bumps. i think the competitions are intresting to watch also

 

[zylstra]

Moguls are just too fun.

 

[dorikin]

The Rossi scratch fs makes an awesome mogul ski. Pretty much any park ski that is under 90 in the waist will be pretty good at moguls. the Ar6, scratch fs, troublemakers, spks or any of those would probably be a fine choice.

 

[Hannyskis]

thanks, I'll have to look into those

 

[Hannyskis]

Haha, I've seen snowbladers in the bumps, sometimes with poles, and its pretty embarrassing for everyone around

 

[ATLskier]

bumps are fun, but I'm scared ill tear an acl or something. call me a pussy, but i would die if i couldn't ski.

 

[Hannyskis]

hey man to each is own, I would die to if I couldn't ski

 

[zylstra]

I used to snowblade with poles, i won this easy bump contest on them once.

 

[JsNeagle]

Having torn my ACL this past season, I'm regret to admit that I probably won't be spending too much time in the bumps in the near future. Being mellow on rails is more like it.

 

[Hannyskis]

that sucks, I don't know what I'd do without skiing bumps, I really got into this year

 

[K2skipunk]

i have the scratch fs's and they are good in the bumps. so are my ak enemies because they pop off and into the next one.

 

[Hannyskis]

Where do you think the best runs are in the East, I went to Stowe this season and they had sick bumps

 

[Hannyskis]

Mogul runs that is

 

[Microcosm]

Outer Limits at Killington is fun when the whole thing is moguls, but they usually groom it.

 

[Craigskis]

If you can't ski a steep icy mogul field you don't know how to ski.

 

[tjski]

they are fun if you can find a good line.

 

[Hannyskis]

thats what bumps usually are in the East, hard as concrete and a sheet of ice

 

[FartBoy05]

yeah ive been skiing icey moguls all my life in the east. next year in tahoe will be a different story.

 

[Hannyskis]

yeah, skiing the icy bumps all your life will make you even better when you get in nice so out in Tahoe

 

[artfullydodged]

hanny, get yorself a pair of 4frnt STL's their great in bumps and everywhere else

 

[Hairmetaler]

bumps is where it began

 

[rippinbumpskier]

i love rippin bumps thus the sn... i skied scratches all year and i loved em. yea they kill your knees i usually cant walk after a good weekend of skiing bumps

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

i am amazingly suprised on how none hateful this thread is. on that note, bumps are fun but they dont live up to rails and jumps in my opinion. but they are pretty fun at times

 

[skiRay]

agree 100%

 

[skiRay]

whiteface is the world cup destination. lower wilderness is the name of the trail. it is one of my favorite runs of all time. i skied that trail this year more that i hit jumps, thats how good it is... and to answer the question about a good bump ski, the silencer is supposed to be good. i ski 169 06 PE's in the bumps and they are great. And i think the AR6 is also good too

 

[KRAMPUSNTROLLZ]

bumps are okay but park and off trail crap is way better

 

[kingarthurs]

man, ilove the bumps, and used to compete. nothing is much more fun than ripping down a perfect line with soft snow. i had to give it up though because training bumps four days a week was just too hard on my knees and body. still tons of fun though

 

[sconniestyle]

YES! i agree. i own/love them. i have the og. pair with the nipple on them.

 

[WikiWiki]

i hate bumps where i live because they are all ice(PA) but i do like to ski them when their is a little bit of snow on them,

 

[Hannyskis]

if you get good at skiing ice bumps you can ski bumps anywhere in the country, and when you ski nice soft bumps you put everyone else to shame

 

[BSI]

If you keep thinking like that you'll end up inside on the couch for fear of getting hurt. You can take a gnarly digger without injury and a stupid fall messing around and tear your ACL. That's how I did my ACL. First run, opening day, fell weird, blown knee. But, you just can't think like that or all the fun you used to gave gets replaced with paranoia.

 

[-+Siver+-]

Yup, they are a lot of fun

 

[Hannyskis]

duels are the sweetest part of mogul competitions, IMO, anyone agree?

 

[mohawkskier]

bumps are a blast

 

[Hannyskis]

true that

 

[ValPow]

ive never skied a proper bumbs course but i would imagine that it fucking kills your thighs and knees, however if you can ski them properly then it looks sick

theyre pretty oldschool
