"The classic saying about skiing bumps and moguls is as follows: 'its not that you can't ski bumps, its that you can't ski and the bumps prove it.' If you can rip through the moguls, it means you don't have the technique down that truly makes you a good skier."
"Once you start to understand that 'headlight' rotary feeling that Deb explains you can clip into your skis and try the motion on a low angle groomer, switching from side to side as you make your way down the mountain. Once you're comfortable there, you can move into some smaller moguls and start working your way up."
Mogul skiing demands specific technical skills beyond basic skiing ability. The classic adage suggests that struggling with moguls indicates fundamental technique deficiencies. Olympic gold medalist Deb Armstrong provides a rotary drill to develop the essential body rotation needed for short turns and moguls. The progression involves first understanding the 'headlight' rotary feeling through the drill, then practicing the motion on low-angle groomed runs by switching side to side, and finally advancing to smaller moguls before tackling larger terrain. Once the rotary motions are mastered, mogul runs become enjoyable and rewarding sections of the mountain.
