'''Moguls''' are bumps on a [[skiing|ski]] slope formed when skiers push the snow into mounds or piles as they execute turns. They can also be built purposely on a slope for [[freestyle skiing]] competitions. Once formed, a naturally-occurring mogul tends to grow as skiers 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-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. |
|||
==Basic Techniques on Mogul Skiing== |
|||
1. How to turn over bumps – For you to be able to turn over the bumps first you must have a good traverse stance and then start skiing. Before you reach the bump make sure you bend your hips and strengthen your knees and ankles to absorb the pressure you will get when you are passing the bumps and always keep your arms in front of you. By bending your hips and strengthen your knees and ankles. It will lessen the pressure between the ski and the snow. |
|||
2. When you’re planting your pole while passing the bumps make sure you didn’t plant it for too long. This will leave your hand behind you and will cause injury and thrown out of balance. |
|||
3. Practice turning on small Bumps first before going into bigger Moguls. This will prepare you from much tougher bumps. |
