|||
'''Moguls''' are bumps in a ski slope formed when [[Skiing|skier]]s cut grooves in the snow as they execute turns. They can also be built purposely on a slope as part of a [[freestyle skiing]] event course. |
|||
Once formed, a naturally occurring mogul tends to grow, as skiers will follow similar paths around it, further deepening the surrounding grooves. Since skiing tends to be a series of linked turns, moguls form together. |
|||
In most ski resorts certain [[piste|pistes]] are left un-pisted (un-groomed) to allow moguls to develop. |
|||
Many [[skiers]] enjoy the challenge of attacking a mogul run. [[Snowboarders]] typically favour them less, although more advanced or technical riders do sometimes enjoy the prospect. |
