Interesting video. Always wondered about this. Although I don't think this is going to work in New York where I ski. You would never be able to push enough snow around to make a mogul on most days. Way too firm LOL
Started skiing in 2012 @ age 42. I’ve had a dozen lessons, watched hundreds of hours of RU-vid videos. I really feel I’m close to an expert skier today because of this series. These videos on mogul skiing are fantastic. My breakthroughs were many but the 3 I learned here in the last 2 years that were instrumental were 1) pulling hip through 2) shifting weight from ski to ski 3) extending into the trough. Hope you keep making these next year!
I've been skiing since I was a kid but I've never been able to ski moguls. This year I've been watching mogul videos and I think you've been the greatest help! I think I have a plan of attack for the remaining few weeks of the season here in Quebec. Thks.
This is the best mogul training Vedio drill in my search. I have viewed 20+ of this subject. This one offers the detailed breakdown drills and it makes a lot of sense.
Hi Julie. Wow you’re a great instructor. Love the technique, tactics and communication. I ski 100+ days a year mostly on a 65 underfoot FIS SL ski. Moguls/bumps def an opportunity for me. I’m considering a IDOne Freeride of some sort, probably under 70 underfoot. I’d love to hear your POV on equipment. I live on a run in Deer Valley so unlikely to get to your beautiful mountain and clinic, so let me know if you’re ever in my neck of the woods. Thanks again for your great video instruction.
Anthony, I would love to connect and take a few runs! I spend as much time as I can in Park City. I will be out on March 31st! Deer Valley is my favorite! I could ski the Champion course all day!! See you soon!!
Champion! I only dare to look at that course. This year’s world cup was awesome. Olivia killed it! We could also talk private coaching (per DV rules) if your schedule permits
Another exceptionally good video. Exactly what I needed to see. I want to learn to ski anywhere on the bump and not in the troughss all the time. My eye just gets too used to seeing that line. Great video. All those students were super good.
Note that the hands have a subtle counter-motion to the hips. A slight offset from the center line of the chest on each turn. It’s like a shimmy on the dance floor…Julie’s consistency really highlights the results you can get when you isolate each part of bump skiing.
An excellent experience again this year! Getting instruction from top notch mogul coaches like Julie, Mark and others is always a highlight of our trip! By the end of the trip and multiple days with the coaches I could see dramatic improvement in both our techniques. I look forward to next season when I can get some more time in with the coaches and group.
This is really helpful mogul skiing instruction. My skiing has really benefitted from your guidance, thank you! I grew up in Denver, and learned to ski at Winter Park/ Mary Jane - so a big bonus that you are instructing at that great ski area!⛷⛷
Wow Julie, you have the best mogul/short turn ski technique on the planet. Best/clearest ski lessons ever. Thank you so much for making these amazing videos.
Julie, what about your spine? Should it have an arch, be neutral or slightly rounded? (I was taught that in the "stacked position" it should be rounded).
I normally like your tutelage, but I am almost 100% opposed to anything involving wedging (a tine set of circumstances were it’s called for). I think this drill will lead to more confusion than it’s worth (even though you are wedging directly down the fall line, which avoids the worst of wedging).
This video is about weight shift and how it relates to the forward and lateral movement of the center of mass. The wedge is used to simulate the weight shift needed in the zipper line of the moguls. It has nothing to do with learning how to wedge the skis. The corridor wedge drill is part of the USSA's edging curriculum and it is widely used in freestyle coaching. Thanks for your comments.
Julie, I was out skiing yesterday in about 4 in of powder crud on top of a very firm base. I tried bending, pole plant, standing up tall and pulling my feet back drill that you demonstrated. It really simulates mogul skiing except you're on the flats. Then I started to focus on the mounds of powder and did the same, pre-absorbing before each mound of powder then standing up tall. It worked incredibly well. In fact, it was so effective in these conditions, I skied the rest of the afternoon that way. Amazing! TY, TY
Wow, those are impressive credentials, Julie. BTW, regarding PSIA I don't think they really get skiing moguls the modern Word Cup way. At least, I've never seen any PSIA instructors taking a direct line in the moguls. Rather, they ski around the mogul making very rounded turns. Myself, I'm a Killington skier, (Hannah Soar's home mountain), and ski a very direct line, the way you teach it.@@julierayrealtor7996
Wow, impressive credentials. BTW, I've never seen a PSIA instructor take a direct line in the moguls, they just follow the rut line which is old school IMO.@@julierayrealtor7996
I don’t ‘like’ the phrase ‘rotate your knees’, as, with most students this leads to a twisting motion and levering the skis with the force of the twist. Rather, I prefer to say ‘move the knees laterally”, which centers the skier over the length of the ski and uses the body weight to bend the ski (not redirecting with a twist). Very much agree with the equal shin angle, especially on the turn finish.
One of the most cohesive demonstrations I have seen. Been teaching 30 years and this lady knows her stuff. There are minor things that I would add, depending on the student. E.g. sometimes I say ‘sit down on the top of the bump” instead of “absorb the bump” (depends on what the student is responding to).
@@julierayrealtor7996 there are many mnemonics for skiing. Your ‘Superman’ tip on leaning on the tongues can also be “pull your heels out of the boot” (often taught with loose top buckles). I sometimes ask “are you a lover or a fighter?” - a lover will lean forward and hug me; I can then adjust the hips and relax the back and shoulders. Another concept is to drop a plumb line (I use the pole) from the shoulder; the pole tip should point at the binding toe piece. Of course, the butt should not be a counter-weight; pushing the pelvis can be a good concept, too. So much depends on what habits and/or fears the student brings to the slope. That said, I ALWAYS start teaching expert skiing on a basic beginner slope; technique without the benefit of gravity pays off when you head to the bumps and steeps.
@@Osnosis Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge and unique mnemonics for skiing! It's fascinating to see the variety of approaches instructors use to convey proper technique. Your "lover or fighter" analogy and the visual of dropping a plumb line from the shoulder are particularly insightful. It's evident that tailoring instruction to individual habits and fears is key to effective teaching. And your emphasis on starting with basic slopes to build a strong foundation before tackling more challenging terrain is certainly wise advice. Happy skiing!
@RickyShi0823 The program I am involved with is the Adult Mogul Program at Winter Park. Here is the link:www.winterparkresort.com/things-to-do/competition-center/winter-programs/adult-mogul-program
Great vid! Im thinking feet/ ankles first then knees/hips this year. And on longer radius turns, really dipping that hip to get that higher angle on both skis. Really could feel the wip of the centrifugal force. Felt great! Would this be correct?
Your hips should stay facing downhill, acting as a stable base while your knees, ankles, and feet work their magic underneath. Each element plays its part for smooth, controlled mogul skiing. The key is to get on the ski edges with proper knee and ankle flexion. Master your edges, master your speed, and you'll master the bumps in no time!
Nice video of you making short radius turns showing knee angle, lead change, arm box. Do you ever talk about the uphill hip drive initiating lead change? As soon as the previous turn ends, I focus on driving my new uphill hip, (my gluteus medius mainly) driving forward down the fall line. I think of this hip being connected to my femur/knee, and it drives them forward into lead change. Now I'm in position for the next mogul way ahead of time. Does that make sense?
@@julierayrealtor7996 Actually, the more I think about it, when setting up for the new turn, (before I contact the mogul), I move my hips to the inside of the turn at the same time the I "close the kitchen cabinet door" with my new inside knee.
I didn't describe it right. Upon release of my DH ski, I drive it down the fall line and to the inside or up the hill. Some instructors call it "foragonal" forward and at an angle up the hill.@@julierayrealtor7996
Hey @jogihaug9243, thanks a bunch for the feedback! I'm glad you noticed the stable upper body and super technique. I hear you on the wrist being a bit open, and I agree, armbox strength is key. I'll definitely work on tightening that up. Your input means a lot, and I'm all about improving, so thanks for sharing your thoughts! Keep an eye out for more and feel free to drop more tips anytime! 🙌
Fantastic teacher. I have watched every mogul lesson I can on RU-vid. This teacher is the best by far. Simple, and the slow motions is so helpful. Also her slow, calm pace of speaking and teaching. Thank you!
