Mogul-Master Class...or at least a quick tip or two that'll really help average skiers!
Спорт
I should start by saying this is not an in-depth analysis on how to ski moguls. It also is not a "classic" mogul technique, and if you're looking for high level performance bumps skills then a lot of this doesn't apply...but what I have put together here is a few great ideas that'll hep out the classic "holiday skier" looking at improving your comfort and control at skiing bumpy and steep conditions.
"Braquage" is a skilful side-slip, and a way of accurate way of navigating your route through the field of bumps. It involved turning your skis all the way across the fall line, turning off your edges and drifting side-ways.
Learning to turn off the edges and reducing grip, then turning them back on- with a specifically selected amount of rotation under the ski- will allow you to play in the bumps and actually enjoy them..not just battle your way through!

Hey Cookie -I must say that I love the content you create - mostly, Windsurfing ones, but the skiing are also amazing! Keep that coming as they help thousands of skiers and windsurfers. I wish those materials are spread wider. it's really really worth watching!!!

Nice video...I'm trying to learn how to manage them better as my 2 boys are on a mogul team and I want to try and follow them on "fun days" , I just have to giggle (in east coast canada) at the moguls since I WISH we had that here >.< ice and small mountains are the only "bumps" we get and I think id die trying to drift like that lol! However it was nice to see how it could be done on more snow / nice conditions!

Bump styles vary massively around the mountain… and as such so much out technique. The skills and techniques your boys use in a perfectly groomed bumps field take skill, but won’t work everywhere!

Best of luck to you learning bumps as an adult...it is not easy. I grew up skiing as a teen in the 1960's in a small area outside of Buffalo NY that had NO moguls. When I came back to skiing as adult in my mid 30's, I thought for sure I should be able to learn how to ski them, but it turned out to be pretty tough. I think the main reason why is that as adults, we are reluctant to risk things..new things/skills that inevitably have risks with them, but that are necessary to advance. Kids do not fear falling like we do and consequently they can try and LEARN what works and what doesn't much faster than us with older established patterns. Appreciate just how quick your kids can turn 'em on the flats. Can you keep up? That's a skill needed and often overlooked. Best of luck just the same
Awesome video to show both the front view and rear view, @Cookie! Wonder how the video was taken? I don't see the camera was attached to your body. Shot by a drone? I know most ski resorts ban drones.

@@Cookiesports going to alpe d’huez next year! Absolutely cannot wait and will definitely hit this slope. I’ve been planning routes and was wondering if you’ve done belvedere, bartavells, les rousses, chalets, les travers, ecureuils and vaujaniate all the way in one? The other one that really got me frothy was tunnel, rousses, les rousses (same run?), chalets and la fare. Looks quite special! Do you have a list of favourite reds and blacks?

Vermont Moguls are nothing like this. You can actually learn on these. These have plenty of space in between them and are not that big. American (in the NE) moguls are much tighter, deeper, and VERy irregular. It's tough to get better when you're constantly on Frozen, giant , rutted bumps
Nice video, enjoyed it. Question for you- your speed dial on the video - would you describe how you are getting that, strictly from the app? I edit in studio exclusively, do you know a way to get the on screen dials added?

Thanks! All the 360-mp4 editing was done in the studio too… then into iMovie for the rest. I this video I connected the camera to the app pre-recording, activated location settings, then record. Once done then gpx data is in the video so you’ll can simply select the speed/altitude dials. Easy!

Ah- you use the desktop studio not the mobile app? I gave up on the desktop studio- just wasn’t as easy to use as the phone app. Sorry, can’t answer your question… just guess… the gpx data would be saved as part of the video file… IF the studio can do it, just click the button! Otherwise use the mobile app- it’s far better anyway!
The best tactic for moguls is to avoid slopes where inexperienced skiers attempt to ski bumps. Bumps are made by skiers and bad skiers make bad irregular, pointy bumps with cross fall line trenches where the only tactic is to ski them badly. Good skiers make big round smooth bumps that are much easier to ski well. This only occurs on very steep double black diamond runs so get comfortable with hyper steep and soon you will find the good bumps are there.

Dude, how far is the mogul field from the lift let off? How far from the bottom can you get back on? It doesn’t look like there’s any lifts anywhere after you got off. Like the run, where did you say it was?

Hi! From the start of the video you see me get off the lift, turn left and ski…. The bottom at the the end of the video is then only a few hundred meters to get back on a lift. This was all filmed in Alpe d’Huez, piste names shown in the screen! 👍👍👍
