The way people make tight turns down a steep slope removes snow from the troughs and piles it into the bumps. As day/night cycles occur and more people ski them, it creates moguls. I believe that sometimes, mtn ops will do this to create them on purpose.
to do them properly, you measure and stake them with bamboo so skiers have to always avoid the same spot and push the snow up there. naturally forming moguls aren't usually great cause they're a bit all over the place and don't flow consistently.

the mad river Glen moguls are almost perfect. I suspect the absence of snowboarders.
Winter Park was selling their moguls a few years back and some colleagues and I bought one and sent it to CU Boulder for analyses. Our initial testing showed high water content, but also unique chemical compositions that we have never seen before. Unfortunately, our research was interrupted when government officials came into the lab and shut us down. They confiscated our research citing "national security" concerns. I guess we'll never really know how moguls are made...
Since ski towns are notoriously male dominated, ski bums who have gone long without female connection become obsessive over female physique and sub-consciously turn the snow into tits
run a snow cat up hill and use the blade and tiller to lift weight off one side of the tracks and spin it, digs a little mound like spinning your tires on gravel. Move forward a little bit and do it again on the other side. Just kinda work your way up the hill while a crew shapes out the mounds. idk but I have a feeling that’s how it goes

It's called mogul seeding. You basically lay out the perfect grid patern with the machine and then ski them in. Some people prefer natural but they can be chaotic and sometimes kinda beat. The seeding provides a more uniform finish that works good especially for contest type stuff.
BradFiAusNzCoCaThey are made from Volkswagen Beetles. That’s why bigger resorts with more money have more and bigger moguls. They can afford it.
One time I was at Winter Park when they were driving all the bugs up in the fall. It is crazy some of the steep stuff they drive those things up. Amazing cars really. I guess they keep a factory in Mexico just to supply the ski resorts with enough Beetles

Lol my buddy bought one of those Beetles with the high water content and one time he gave me a ride and I noticed there were literally mushrooms growing all over the floor boards

This is correct. On the east coast, they will usually blow snow overnight on top of the seeded moguls because after the cat sets them its basically a rubbled out mess. After the snow blows on them it turns into a smooth egg-crate mattress looking surface, and then you ski the smooth egg-crate in to create troughs
The day after mogul seeding when you ski in the egg crate are some of the best ski days of my youth
Snow White and her 7 dwarves travel all over the world building moguls for us. When she needs extra help, she starts to sing, and all the wild animals join in to assist. There is also a special mogul skier army that has sworn to protect her from the evil witch.

Hell yeah! Also was surprised how big some of the natty moguls could get on the east coast.
I've never seeded moguls but I'd like to do it just to try something different sometime. Just cool to get to do different shit in a cat

SofaKingSickThis is how they make artificial ones, the natural ones are actually the mountain itself getting goosebumps from watching me ski
For events and training this is how they've been made for a long time. If you have the right people you can ski in semi uniform moguls but this method really helps make them uniform.

My old acrobatic team used flags and force of numbers to form bumps. As long as everyone turns exactly at the right place and the snow was somewhat soft, we would have near perfect moguls in 3 hours.
