Now, I want to get my hand/pole positioning similar to his, but I must know if I should put my elbows out or keep them in at my sides? Also, what is a good way to measure how wide my hands or arms should be apart? Thanks you! here is the vid link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5oIUJweyGQ Hi i was wondering if you could please watch this video.

As you go faster, practice absorbing lower down on the mogul, upper if you need to go slower. I hope this helps.

Also, how far up on each mogul should i absorb?

Just go to their website or office and ask about the ski team. No matter your skill, I'm sure they'd love to have you and would put you on an appropriate level team. Good luck!

You will allow your legs to return to a controlled position, slow your speed, and this action also causes the natural tendency to point your tips into the troughs, which is ideal. Hope this helps and have fun on the slopes bro! Exactly, I agree with the other reply. also, try pulling your skis under your butt as much as you can on the downhill side of the mogul.

For knee roll, roll both your knees from side to side to initiate the turn and get on an edge. That should help you stay more forward and make it easier to have good absorption.

I am 14 and have been skiing moguls forever. i follow all the rules and tips and just cease to look good. i absorb as much as i can and even drop below my knees but when i watch a video of myself, my knees dont look like they are coming up at all. i keep my hands out in front but my hand positioning and pole planting looks terrible when i look back at it. i just want to look more like the pros, but cant seem to get any closer to it! any advice??
