I don't compete but find moguls really fun. I like the natural ones more, you can tranny find and gap them and stuff but the courses are all identical and boring to me.

I used to be on a mogul team. I pretty much only ski bumps in the summer now, though.

Got to see the Canadian team down in Bariloche Argentina this summer. Double and triple back fulls and then maching into some icy bumps, it was pretty rad. You could debate whether it's too much like racing these days and not as free dogger like the old days, but those guys are some of the sickest athletes in skiing.

I used to compete in them, they kill your knees and it is kind of hard to get creative though.

I am! Just starting my first season as a member of the Canadian National Team actually.

If you like moguls, you should check out a documentary I've been working on for the past two years about the sport, featuring many of the best in the world.

"Bumps: A Mogul Skiing Documentary" - http://bumpsdocumentary.com/

The film will be released on December 1st, but for now, read up on the website and check out the teasers!

Any tips on how to ski moguls better? Really. I understand that a pole plant and you want to keep your upper body like your trying to balance a glass on your head helps but any other information would help.

Never competed but I grew up in Europe on straight skis before they pisted all the runs every night, as a result I still love smashing mouguls. Couple of years ago when I was working in Saalbach in Austria at the end of the season they had all but stopped pisting the resort (the Austrians had no sympathy for the all the brits who were boarding that week). I strapped on my SL skis and had all fun.

My dad was a bumper back I'm the day, so naturally I would become one too. I competed in highschool, but not anymore. Still love to ski bumps
