For my writers craft class I am planning on writing an essay on how all freestyle skiers should have mogul skiing experience.

I have found a bunch of sources, but am still looking for more. If anyone knows of any articles or anything like that, about mogul skiing, or proof of pros talking about mogul skiing, I'd appreciate it if you showed me.

Thanks,
+k for help

Yeah, I plan on doing that, but I could really use something written. Could be a video interview too. I just need something more than my own knowledge to prove my point

Thanks so much everybody.

I knew I read a good quote from Torin, just couldn't find it!

And for the dude above, I think it's Warren Tanner's movie, and it's an instructional mogul skiing video, so I don't recall it having anything useful for me, but I'll check again.

Do you think you could post it if you get a second on your computer? I'm having troubles finding it.

All the original New Canadian Air Force members (Douglas, Cusson, JP, ect) came from the Canadian mogul program. There has been lots written on it, contact Freeskier I'm sure they could point you in the direction of the old articles on it. You could also contact John Smart, I'm sure he'd help you out.
