The first rule of skiing moguls? There are no rules. The second rule of skiing moguls? Have fun. The heart of mogul skiing isn’t about linking perfect turns, it’s about style and showmanship. It’s no coincidence that some of the most famous and beloved mogul runs are located under the lift, and are the so-called “Hollywood” line of the resort.
Once you get to a point where you can link turns down the fall line, have some fun with your skiing. Try some of Glen Plake’s famous Hot Dog moves like the “Slow Dog Noodle” or the “Outrigger” to add some old-school flair to your bump run.
