The real mogul-skiing instruction you're looking for. Whether you want to ski gentle moguls with comfort and confidence, turn heads on your local mogul run, or compete in mogul contests, this book will give you the specialized techniques you need to reach your goal. In this first-of-its-kind book, mogul-skiing competitor Dan DiPiro reveals techniques that have remained largely unknown and unaddressed outside of competitive mogul-skiing circles. Most skiers try to ski moguls using only groomed-trail techniques, says DiPiro. But the bumps require a special set of techniques that have nothing to do with groomed-trail skiing. With an understanding of these special techniques, most fit, expert skiers can become good mogul skiers, and some can become excellent mogul skiers and even mogul competitors. For the aspiring mogul skier, this book is full of invaluable instruction. For the seasoned bumper, it's an ideal tune-up guide and a long-awaited affirmation. For all skiers interested in broadening their understanding of downhill skiing excellence, it's an original, eye-opening read.

For the zipper-line wannabe The audience DiPiro is writing for in this book is the skier who wants to ski moguls fast, following the fall line, feet and knees locked together, knees pumping, feet twisting below a steady upper body, finishing with an aerial stunt, just like the mogul skiers in competitions on t.v. As a long-time skier in my 70's, I aspire to ski moguls slowly and gracefully, as I have seen hundreds of good recreational skiers do. I have no desire to ski with white patches on the knees of my ski pants so the people... more info
Learn to ski the bumps! For most skiers, there is nothing more terrifying than accidentally emerging at the top of a field of steep and deep moguls. If you're like I used to be, you deal with the situation by first shedding some tears, then bucking yourself up for the task ahead. Resolute, you push off, then quickly panic as you watch the mogul and your skis drop away in front of you. Scared, you lean away from the horrifying chasm, the tails of your skis dig into the snow and you slam into the next mogul, fall, and cartwheel... more info
Our book "...is dog-eared and tattered from so much use that I may have to order another!" I wish this great book was available when I first started skiing back in the 70's! For years I tried to keep up with my friends in the moguls.
They were expert skiers, but they were not expert instructors;
and their teaching philosophy was watch and learn and try to keep up! There were many times that I would be left in the dust picking up my gear
after a spectacular crash and yard sale.
I would get tips here and there, but getting real instruction from my friends

Finally I get it! I want to change the title to "Everything your husband never told you about mogul skiing".My husband and I ski groomed trails together with about the same proficiency. I have tried for years to follow my husband down mogul runs,with very little success.He skis fast through the bumps and I am left behind to "survive" the bumps. Last season I took a ladies clinic and granted little time was spent on moguls, but what they did teach was all about where to turn on the mogul and somrthing about going in a door... more info
