Skiing Tips - Think One Turn At A Time In Moguls

Many skiers stand at the top of a mogul run and plot a detailed route through the bumps, determining where each and every turn will be made.

We don't recommend that. Why? Because mogul and powder terrain is inconsistent and, as a result, you are likely to miss a turn or decide to turn elsewhere when you get a closer look at the situation. A better strategy is to focus on just making one turn at a time.

As you initiate one turn, pick the location where you want to make your next turn. That both simplifies the planning and decision process and breaks a large series of moguls into a series of individual turns. Said another way: eat the mogul run one bite at a time. It is easier and a lot less stressful.

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