Hi Andrew WELCOME to the BUMPS FOR BOOMERS ® Mogul & Powder Skiing Tip Of The Week Newsle2er Series -‐ and CONGRATULATIONS on taking the first step to becoming a be2er mogul and powder skier. Here is your first Weekly Mogul and Powder Skiing Tip: Carving is a very appropriate technique for skiing on groomed runs. But, to become a good mogul or powder skier you want to do the opposite of carving -‐ which is to learn how to ski with a so> edge (less of an edge angle on your ski). When you ski with a so> edge, centrifugal force will cause your skis to "dri>" (slip, slide) to the outside of the turn. This lateral movement creates fricDon and you can use this fricDon to slow your speed. Mastering changes in the edge angle of your skis on the snow is a valuable speed control technique. If you use this technique, in combinaDon with several of our other Dps, it will enable you to ski moguls and powder without the need for fast reflexes. To your success in becoming a mogul and powder hound ... You don't need a shot of courage to ski moguls. You need a new approach.
