Master skiing bumps--a simple goal, but almost always tackled with the wrong tools and approach. Here is your opportunity to set out on the right foot and finally achieve that goal (attainable by all,) to ski the bumps with grace.
Skiing bumps well require:
- An ability to make short radius turns with a stable, countered (facing down the flow line) upper body.
- Slow turn initiation.
- Simultaneously steering of your two skis.
- Pronounced absorption and extension.
- Practice on very easy terrain until you have mastered the technique.
