currently watching the moguls competition and thought to myself who would be better?a mogul skier switching to slopestyle or a slopestyle skier switching to moguls.I think the mogul skier would have the advantage since there already able to throw 1080s and such where a slopestyle skier mite not have the experince with the mogul.

Definitly a slope to mogul. So many more skills in slope : Rails, doubles, triples, massive jumps ect.

I'd say a mogul's skier going to slope. Just going down on the moguls would be so hard and take so much skill. I know I couldn't do it very well unless I spent alot of time on it..


And there are a couple pro skiers that started out in moguls. All I can think of is Tanner Hall right now but there's more

Mogul to slope no question. It takes and years and years of training to be able to ski moguls at that level, whereas mogul skiers can already jump decently well, and can learn rails faster than a slop skier can learn moguls.

the slope skiers would just tranny find through all the moguls and make it down in record time

I'd go with mogul to slope although lots of slope riders come from mogul backgrounds. Moguls are nuts

Adam Delrome on an Olympic mogul course would be so fun to watch. He can hit moguls really clean and he goes huge whenever he gets the chance.
