Mogul Skiing - Techniques For Getting Over The Top
<br>

<br>Note: We are republishing this because the soft snow of April affords the wanna-be mogul skier the best time to
<br>practice
<br>
<br>Absorbing the Bumps: the legs flex to smooth out the undulations, giving the body a quiet, almost level ride.
<br>
<br>This is an extremely important technique to add to your armory, not just for the moguls but also for many other
<br>situations you will encounter as an expert skier.
<br>
<br>Traverse the moguls, slowly at first, absorbing them by allowing your legs to bend under tension so that as you come
<br>off a mogul they automatically spring back into the hollows. To understand this action hold your arm out horizontally
<br>and get a person to apply pressure to your hand. Gradually, as the pressure increases, let your arm bend while
<br>maintaining a degree of resistance. Ask the person to release the pressure by removing their hand, but to do so
<br>without any warning, and watch what happens. When the pressure is removed, your hand will shoot forward like a
<br>compressed spring. This is the reaction you want from your legs as you go through the moguls. Your upper body should
<br>remain at the same level throughout. As you become more confident, steepen the traverse angle.
<br>
<br>
<br> OINTERS:
<br>
<br>It will help if you imagine yourself balancing a book on your head or carrying a tray of glasses. Pay attention to the
<br>pressure under your feet and try to keep it constant. Focus on something ahead so that your eyes remain steady. If you
<br>keep looking at a mogul as you approach it, your head will drop forward and this may lead to you bending too much at
<br>the waist. Exercises like this help to keep the upper body quiet and give you feedback as to whether you are
<br>succeeding.
<br>
<br>As you reach the crest of each mogul, breath out forcibly. The value of breathing correctly is immeasurable in mogul
<br>skiing. You can use your voice to help with this. Choose a word that describes the action and one that is naturally
<br>said with an expulsion of air, like FOLD or BEND, for example. As you approach the mogul say the word, stretching it
<br>out so it matches your skiing actions:
<br>
<br>FOOOOOLD.
<br>
<br>lace your pole plant just before the crest of each mogul, and as you go over, assuming the moguls are quite large,
<br>your head will normally be level with your hand.
<br>
<br>Remember that as you come off a mogul you must extend your legs back into the trough in order to keep your body at the
<br>same level, this will then allow your legs the room they need to retract for the next mogul.
<br>
<br>At the top of each mogul feel the tension in your thighs and stomach. As you ski the bumps your back should remain at
<br>a constant angle with the terrain so that it is your legs that do the absorbing. When you are completely comfortable
<br>and confident in the way you are absorbing the moguls in a traverse, it is time to try this same exercise with some
<br>turns.
<br>
<br>You'll find Michael Maassen (The Ski Bum) carving turns in the Great Canadian Rockies! Marmot-Basin, Jasper Alberta to
<br>be exact. Michael is a CSIA level II ski instructor and has been hopping the lift in Jasper for the last 7 years. The
<br>Ski Bum hails from Austria and was born with skis on his feet, hence the phrase Born to Ski! .<br><br>4 40 |
