Skiing Tips - Turn On The Flat Tops Of Moguls

If you study mogul terrain, you realize that all moguls have flat tops (think of the flat top as a green run). And a mogul run consists on a series of flat tops, much like a staircase, which you can use to walk down the mountain. Even more to your advantage, the tops of most moguls have clumps of snow on them, which represent friction, and which will slow you down.

So lets recap: Flat green run mogul tops with friction in the form of a staircase going down the hill. If you turn on the tops of the moguls, drift with a soft edge from one mogul top to the next, you can change the rules of the game.

Your best strategy: turn on the mogul tops and stay out of the troughs. Use this strategy turn a black or double-black mogul and powder run into a much more manageable, safe and fun experience.

To your success in becoming a better mogul and powder skier.
