What is the proper technique for skiing moguls?

Answer

You stare at the Black Diamond run in awe and excitement. It is steep and full of moguls. Moguls are large bumps and craters in the ski hill. You need to ski them properly or you are going to crash big time.

The main thing is to keep your knees bent to prevent catching air. You also want to keep your core center in balance and use your poles and arms for additional balance. If you have seen this event on TV you will notice that the upper half of their body barely moves while their knees are bent to absorb any shocks. Professional mogul skiers also tend to have extensive knee problems.

Avoid leaning back on your heels. When you do this you are setting yourself for take off up into the air. Also avoid leaning to far forward or you will fall head first into a mogul.

Good luck!
