Replying to If you can ski Moguls, You can ski ANYTHING
Looking at all of the kids learning how to "freeride ski" (or however you want to say it) today , i realize that myself, and others my age are the last generation of skiers who started off in the Bumps, and man am i glad that i did. When i look at all of the up and coming park skiers now, they aren't just learning tricks in the park, they are learning how to ski in the park aswell. Half the kids i see slay park these days couldn't make the first turn on a steep pow line let alone do the first section of a Bump course. Mogul skiing allows a skier to rip anything on the mountain and it is such a good way to teach kids how to be comfortable on there skis, edging, air awareness, everything you need to become a good overall skier. just look at all the former moguls skiers ripping all aspects of the sport (Tanner being the obvious example) but Seth used to be a mogul skier to as well as J.P, Julien, Vinnie D, Riddle, Hayward, Henitiuk... the list goes on and on. Looking back at how much i hated skiing the mogul line right next to the park, I am so glad i stuck to it for as long as i did because it opens up so many more opportunities for a skier. Instead of just being able to rip the park, you have the whole mountain in-front of you and you can appreciate all aspects of it.
