Mogul Skiing Technique Guide
Aggressive, Athletic Skiing

                              One key to skiing bumps well is being aggressive and
                         athletic about your skiing. This doesn't mean that you have
                         to ski really fast. This means you need to be willing to push
                         yourself and to ski hard and ski with passion, not being
                         afraid of what's ahead of you.

     When you're in a bump line, being over-cautious and over-conservative about your skiing will get you into much less desirable situations than skiing aggressively. You need to be skiing with a purpose, doing everything to the very best of your ability. You must be unafraid to try running your skis a little straighter or taking the occasional jump off of a bump. You need to always push on down the fall line, and not be afraid to absorb whatever happens to be in your path (as long as it doesn't pose a danger, of course). Timidity will not get you far in the bumps. Be aggressive, be strong, be athletic. If you combine this with the techniques discussed previously, there's absolutely no reason for you to fail at becoming a great mogul skier.

     Something to keep in mind, though: don't be crazy. Aggressive skiing does not mean skiing so fast you're out of control. That's not at all what aggressive skiing is. Skiing too fast is incredibly dangerous, not only to you, but to everyone around you. Heaven forbid you should dent a lift tower with your head. It costs the ski area a lot to remove that dent and repaint it, not to mention the associated risk management expenses (<-- note the sarcasm, please)! In all seriousness, control is the most important aspect of skiing moguls. If you aren't in control, then you're not skiing properly or safely. So be aggressive, go after that line, don't be afraid of a little speed, but always maintain control.
