This mogul skiing tutorial will teach you how to have the correct body position while skiing the moguls. To make it nice and simple, I’ve divided them up into four categories. These are:

Eyes Up: One of the most important bump skiing tips is to keep your eyes up. You need to be looking directly down the hill approximately 2-3 moguls ahead of you or 5-6 moguls when you are skiing fast. If at any time you drop your vision while skiing the moguls your whole form will look sloppy and it will be very difficult.

Hands In Front: One of the most common problems in mogul skiing is dropping your hands. This is a really bad habit and can really get you in trouble. Your hands always need to be out in front of your body and constantly driving down the hill. It’s okay to have your hands out wide as long as you are still reaching down the hill and your hands aren’t getting sucked back. A common problem is keeping your hands too low; remember to keep your hands high- they should be at or above stomach level.

Chest Up: Most people don’t need to worry to much about this, but “hunching over” is a pretty big problem in mogul skiing. People who lean forward too much with their chest often get “bucked” by moguls, can’t get their full potential range of motion and have sloppy style. To fix this, just pick your vision up and most importantly push your hips forward. From a side view, your chest should be perpendicular to the slope of the mogul hill and facing downhill at all times.

Hips Forward: Tying into the last one, you need to get your hips forward regardless if you are “chesty.” If you ever find yourself getting backseat in the moguls, just push your hips forward to get back. To know if you are skiing forward or not, you should always be able to feel your shins pushing against the fronts of your boots.

I hope this little tutorial helped and don’t forget to watch the video for visual help. If you have any questions, please post them below and I’ll respond. Good luck!
