mogul skiing

id take a day of skiing nice steep moguls and tree runs over a day in the park.

Dearest skrchiq:

I didnt realize this was 'lmao' funny.

Please refer to my first post. No where in that post did I say that moguls are ONLY formed by powder. My point was as is stated. I fully agree that moguls are not just made by powder, however, after a powder day there will undoubtedly be moguls present. HHHHmmmmmmm? And I will reiterate yet again that these are formed when people do short little turns that should no longer be accepted as the way to ski to full potential. And yes, incidentally, these same short turns form somewhat sequential moguls even on packed powder/loose snow. Yet again, if however you enjoy this kind of skiing go right ahead.

Secondly I never even turned it into this arguement. You said it best 'who said moguls were always made on powder days??' I dont know because it wasnt me. Yet somehow, you knew enough about me that you could second this brilliantly stated arguement- this would be your friends post.

And suddendly because my approach to skiing moguls is somewhat different to how moguls are really skiied, I have no idea what they really are? I too at one time enjoyed actual mogul skiing, but that was yrs ago, and I am pretty sure that I have been around on the hill and on my skis to have somewhat of an idea of how they work.

It is understandable that you misinterpreted my first and, subsequently my follow up posts and actually believe that I think that moguls can only be formed in powder and perhaps I was not being general enough. However, if you really think that I dont know anything about skiing, perhaps maybe the race is now done for you, but you did not actually get to the finish line.

Furthermore, in the future if you do disagree, try to tell me why instead of jumping on your friends bandwagon. Credibility is lost quite fast that way. I do not mind argueing a little. It can be kind of fun.

When u say that they should no longer be accepted, I think you r a fuckin idiot. Mainly because that is proably one of the most difficult ways to ski, especially through moguls. Think about how fast u go when u do big gs turns. Now think about trying to go that fats through moguls, I doubt u can. But there are actually people that are able to do it and in my opinion skiing through moguls should be one of the most accepted parts of skiign out there. If u do not agree thats fine,but think about everythign i said.

keep whining sim....those moguls will go away eventually if you're persistent enough

Abba Zabba, you my only friend

i think it would be so much fun if they put some rails in the middle of a bump run. it would be so hot to be bangning out some bumps then hit a rail, come off it, and just keep banging them out.

haha, nice strode.

sim, you know you're gonna get a reaction when you insult the way someone ski's. im gonna keep on skiing moguls, and you can keep on being an asshole and whatever else you like to do. and just because i agree with someone, and other people agree with me (obviously not ONLY courtney) doesnt mean i cant have an opion, and doesnt mean that i cant have the same opinion as someone else.


'...guess i'm just a hypocrite for living out my dreams... it may now make a difference, but i'm trying to make you see, may not make no sense to you, but i know it does to me.'

Hahaa haaaaa haaa. Now it is my turn to laugh. To the first guy- I dont know what or how you read my post, but you are actually talking about exactly what I said is the way that I do moguls. Big GS turns are what I am saying is what these days would define you as possibly the best skier that you can be. I agree that moguls should be accepted, when did I ever not agree, but that doesnt mean I cant like them. I hope you read all the previous posts before you posted that.

Please by all means point out where I have insulted the way some one skis. If you want to keep arguing here try to not make stuff up. OOOHhh and the name calling, well done. And since people do not like to fully read and comprehend what I have said the first time I will say it again. If your opinion opposses mine, try to be a little more creative and put a little more thought into an argument other than sim your a dumbass or whatever else you can cleaverly conjure up. So quit being so hypocritical and telling me not to let you have an opinion when I clearly am asking for a REAL one, when you are the one that sits there and tells me what I can and can not think is fun in skiing.

Although I myself am not a huge fan of moguls and this you already know, I at the same time know that they have played an important role in bringing up a lot of todays most talented skiers. And if my so called 'whining' were to suddenly make them dissapear, I would not be overly sad, but we probably would lose a lot of talent if it were so.

Since this is now one of the most uninformitive threads ever as it is just a battle maybe you would like to stop. If not, I apologize for a crappy thread, but I am having fun, especially after these last few threads and dont intend to just sit here and let people put words into my mouth and tell me how dumb I am without backing it up. It was actually lmao funny.

'Moguls tend to be made by people who cant ski pow well.' that’s where you went wrong, I think. I hope you don't think that short turns shouldn't be excepted now a days. That’s what usually makes someone a good skier. Yeah people should work on long GS turns too but just look slalom. I wouldn’t mind seeing skiers make short turns down the powder rather than huge, fast turns and just running the thing.

blah blah blah, I don't care. All I am saying is that background is from skiing moguls my whole life and I for one can definitely ski powder just fine.

^^^^to back up what courtney just said.. there's a reason why downhill and super-G are considered SPEED events while slalom and GS are considered TECHNICAL. ponder that.


'...guess i'm just a hypocrite for living out my dreams... it may now make a difference, but i'm trying to make you see, may not make no sense to you, but i know it does to me.'

You are right. I did go wrong when I said that, because I was trying to say too much in one sentence and was being hasty. I did not mean to offend by saying that. I dont think that skiers that do this are by any means unskilled, but as far as the progression of skiing is going, the small turns are no longer what is or should be considered the best way to ski, yet should definetly still be learned as they are sometimes needed.

And obviously I know that there are speed events and slalom events, but I am talking more all around/freeriding. Once again, as already said, I think moguls are one of the best training tools and some of the best skiers come from moguls, but does not mean that someone who can not ski moguls in that fashion automatically has no credibility.

I hope you do not take this the wrong way as I am not trying to offend you guys, your abilities or mogul skiing in general. I think people should ski what they want, where they want and when they want, and that is the reason I have been typing these long posts this whole time, to directly defend this ideal.

Finally, thankyou for writing an actual point and resorting from the namecalling this time around, that is all I wanted, and am now content.

moguls rock, its very gratifying to ski them well

'Big GS turns are what I am saying is what these days would define you as possibly the best skier that you can be.'

Actually, dude, big GS turns are the easiest turns to make on todays skis. Lean and edge. Not too difficult.

Now making GS turns on 220 straight skis is a different story.

If you can rip GS turns down a big face that is all cruded or powdered then and call it easy then you are a really good skier.

Also racers use to use those long 220s to do their races but have since gone somewhat shorter due to new technology.

When you push yourself as a skier, you will come across terrain the demands making short turns. Things like steep, narrow chutes. Maybe you need to get off the groomers and try to push yourself. Im not saying making gs turns are easier (although it is easier to set your edge) but if you never need to make short turns, then you obviously are not a good skier.

mogul skiing is cool, but too much of it will kill your knees

^^ And smack landings on 50 ft tables won't?

Unless your training for the world cup and ski bumps day after day until you can't walk, your knees will be fine.

^ landing off a 50 foot table is much easier than skiing moguls one run if you're doing them correctly.

k sim, im fine with that last post. put that one thing you keep saying 'the small turns are no longer what is or should be considered the best way to ski' is the one thing that really gets to me.. i think that if you really wanna progress your skiing you have to be able to do everything. Someone might be a really good mogul skier, or an awesome big mountain skier, or good at jibbing, but if you cant do it all you're never gonna be the best. but i guess that's kinda getting off the subject. but i think that one saying was what really pissed me off. but its okay, i think im started to get it now. just yah, to clear that up..


'...guess i'm just a hypocrite for living out my dreams... it may now make a difference, but i'm trying to make you see, may not make no sense to you, but i know it does to me.'

Ok cool, and yeah you fully need to know how to do this turns. This is true. I dont mean for this to anger you, but what I do mean that is if you are say skiing a big powder face or just freeriding etc and are skiing with only small quick turns and poleplants you are not doing anything wrong, but you could be better skiing better by taking those turns bigger and hence going faster. And yeah, there is definetly times when it is just too steep or narrow and small turns come in handy and are good too.

I am glad we have come to some sort of an understanding and I am sorry if you were offended by my first post which may not have been entirely clear.

by 'this turns' i mean the short turns.

It appears as though as if I was having some trouble with the ol' typing in that last post. Maybe it is this vanilla coke talking.


signatures are for pussies

yah, lol.. but i agree, when im freeskiing i dont usually practice my mogul turns.. i love making huge GS turns, but just wanted to clear that up.. ;D


'...guess i'm just a hypocrite for living out my dreams... it may now make a difference, but i'm trying to make you see, may not make no sense to you, but i know it does to me.'

i love moguls and i love cutting off ski-bladers in em more.

haha, ski-bladers.. love it.


'...guess i'm just a hypocrite for living out my dreams... it may now make a difference, but i'm trying to make you see, may not make no sense to you, but i know it does to me.'

moguls separate the good from the bad
'The Ski Out Terrain Park is definitely the most happenin' Park around. Said to be, 'the most progressive Terrain Park' in New Brunswick. It's packed with everything from huge hits to 'new school' railslides!'

yeah yeah, i learned to ski moguls from the best: the good guys of montana mogul. although i got my ass kicked at first and i ended up crying in front of the likes of mickey price, tanner hall, and donovan power, i'm still glad i went through it. to start, i'd say try to completely stop in each rut, doing hockey stops. once you get your speed up you'll feel your body being thrown forward when you hit each rut. after that i tried to just piece them all together and got pretty good. other than that i'd say use smaller poles to keep your weight forward. reach to the backside of teh mogul with each pole-plant. other than that just chill and gnarbroil it. who gives a fuck what other people have to say?

when it all comes together bumps is where freestyle started and if u can rip bumps u can rip any shit i would no
