Skiing Tip - Boomer Advice On How Not To Ski Moguls

Conventional thinking says that the way you are supposed to a ski mogul run is to ski the troughs between moguls. That can be a good strategy if you are in your 20's or 30's but it is not the optimum approach if you are in your 40's, 50's or 60's. Here are two good reasons why:

First, skiing through the troughs is the second fastest route through the moguls - just behind the Johnny Mosley "knees pumping up to the ears like pistons" down the zipper line approach - and it requires lightening fast reflexes. Second, if your mogul skiing is based upon a technique that requires fast reflexes then you run into an ever larger problem as the pitch of the hill increases because your reflexes have to be ever faster.

Skiing the troughs is not a good strategy if you are an aging Boomer with slowing reflexes.
