Hopefully you don't have one-footed skiing ingrained
in you, because for effective mogul skiing you need to learn how to weight your
skis more equally.
Ease into this by learning the trick on groomed
intermediate terrain.
Ski long radius turns and as you cross the flow
line, shift pressure from the normally weighted outside ski, to the inside ski.
Keep increasing the weight shift every time you cross the flow line, until you
stand only on the inside ski as you cross the flow line.
Now from weighing only the inside ski, gradually
transfer the weight to the outside ski, until you feel your skis equally weighed
throughout linked turns.
Having mastered that, gradually shorten the turn
radius until you can make short turns on groomed terrain with your skis always
weighted equally.
Now try this equal-weighted turns in the moguls.
- Be patient, as it can take days to master this
technique fully.
- Make sure you don't "bank" by
leaning your whole body into the hill--always keep your upper body facing
slightly down the hill.
- Stay in the Sweet spot!
