here is a great YouTube vid of some great mogul skiers... notice how they keep their upper body quiet and absorb the moguls with their legs... the best guys stay in contact with the snow most of the time.. they go aerial only when the terrain makes it necessary

Also have to note the dryness of the snow, the nice size and spacing of the bumps vs. the chopped up crap I usually saw in the east. Most of those guys were on very short skis too. When long skis were the in thing, I would kill myself in a mogul field on a pair of 204-207s. Ski was too long and would straddle two separate bumps if at speed, and I would get launched ae the shovel loaded... Kind of like having the right rod for different fishing conditions. And we think rods are expensive?
I'll do a single bump eun with you Chris, but let me get a half dozen cruisers under my belt first.... |

Oh I was forced to ski them and sort them out, still doesn't mean I have to LIKE them. |

I agree... I am 56 and still enjoy the bumps for a few runs each day and do not like to stop mid run if I can avoid it... screws up your line and the lift is a good time to rest.. some of the young kids these days are amazing... quickness, carving and carrying good speed down the hill |

Spent enough years on hardpack that I only ever enjoy powder and tall things to fall off of anymore. |
