This is perhaps the most useful bump skiing explanation I have seen. And I've see many such videos. I appreciate the encouragement through simplicity. Making it possible to confidently put the skis in the fall line is the goal from day one. Being able to stop at will is what frees one to enjoy the fall line. And enjoying the fall line is why we ski. I'm sure I'd love to take lessons from you, John. I feel it!
Most of this videos was shot on double black runs at Aspen Highlands. South Castle Chute and Sodbuster. In January quite some time from the previous snow storm so the bumps were pretty big. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!
You make it look easy
Thank you, with some structured practice it could be easy for you too!
I often have to do a traverse and turn on a smaller bump/Ridge to slow down and or pick another line.
And that’s not very fun right?
Nice technique!
Thank you! Cheers!
How steep is that run and how big are those bumps? Looks like a black run with small to medium sized bumps. Hard to tell from the video alone. Thanks.
