Moguls are bumps in a ski slope formed when skiers 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 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.
