I’m going to sound like a broken record but the videography, camera angle, slo-mo, framing, precise description of body movements almost comes across as CGI. This video doesn’t look real. I used to think animation was the only way people could see clearly what happens in good mogul skiing. This video series blows that out of the water. Really incredible. I do have a question about ski choice that favors mogul skiing. It looks like your skis are fairly narrow. Can you comment on what skis you use/recommend for moguls and still get away with for general piste skiing? I thought yours might have been twin tips in a different video. They also seem somewhat narrow by today’s standards.
@@julierayrealtor7996 If you can do a video on non-zipper skiing. One where skier skis to apex of mogul, is countered (separation) and turns are much rounder. Thanks again. Fantastic series.
@@julierayrealtor7996I’m close to purchasing a mogul specific ski, 100 66 90. Do you recommend a specific binding? Look Pivots seem to be the general recommendation, but don’t know enough to buy.
@@julierayrealtor7996 Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I pulled the trigger on Faction Le Mogul with Look 14s (my 4th new pair of skis in 5 years, to my wife’s chagrin). I can assure you I won’t be doing any jumps so plate or no plate shouldn’t make a big difference. Looking forward to more content from your excellent channel.
@@julierayrealtor7996 I now have new Faction Le Mogul skis and new Look Pivot bindings in my possession, but am confused as to what I should pick for binding mount position. Faction has 3 positions 1) classic, toward tail 2) progressive, 1.5 cm farther forward and 3) new school + 3 cm toward shovel mostly for park skiing. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations? I’m not going to do a lot of jumping. I’m thinking progressive gives the greatest flexibility. Would like to use these to do natural bumps and tree skiing. Thanks!
Fantastic teacher. I have watched every mogul lesson I can on TH-cam. 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!
It is different skiing over the bumps and between the bumps.Twisting the skis into a sideslip on the back of the bump is a very defensive way to get down the bump run.
Excellent video and camerawork and production. Years of "trying" have not made me successful in moguls, but I do improve with the help of videos like this. For those who like books, I will just mention this one: Everything The Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing by Dan DiPiro. Julie Ray is on the money that most people miss that hip-forward motion. It's so easy in slow-motion! Would it be vulgar to say we should hump the bump?
Excellent demo in the "Street Bumps" portion of the video, and nice individual student feedback. I find find it a bit challenging, especially with beginning mogul students, to provide good visual demos on the flats. Biomechanically, it gives the hips forward with extension, the appearance of an upper-body pop-up. When you skied during the Steet Bumps portion, it was almost flawless, very quiet U/B, w/Legs extending and hips forward. Thank you for the video.
Very nice video, I’ll be working on this next time on the hill. Really cool camera work and I liked you drill where you stand up and bring the feet back on the groomer, I have a feeling that will help me get the feeling started
Another great video that is upping my mogul skiing. I sometimes get lazy and don't pull back enough, plus when I get tired my timing gets off. This lesson reminded me that I have to pull back while driving my hips through on the backside of the mogul. If I don't pull back effectively then standing tall and pushing the hips forward simply puts me in the back seat. To remedy this, I focus on pulling my skis back simultaneous with my pole plant as I drive my hips forward Please keep these vids coming, thanks!
I know what you are saying about extending but even in your demo, down through the moguls, you did not extend tall and push your hips forward as you explained. You maintained that aggressive stance and drove your tips down into the trough. That is what I do and it works great. One of my favorite techniques, when the conditions are right is to do sort of a hooking turn into the side of the mogul. With this hook you have a couple options. One you can absorb the mogul and push your ski tips and feet down into the next turn. The hook really helps to control speed and makes for a more rounded turn. The other option is to hook into the mogul and use it to initiate an arching jump turn over the trough and onto the backside of the next mogul while still in the fall line. This adds some creativity to your run and gives you a little time to "rest or think" while in the air.
Thanks for the detailed breakdown of your mogul technique! 🏔️ Your hooking turn strategy sounds both creative and effective, especially with the options to control speed or add some flair with an arching jump turn. Keep shredding! 🤘😊
I find it scary to drive my hips forward and tips down into the trough. It requires overcoming this natural fear. It is an unnatural movement. But once you have done it a few times and realized that it helps control your speed, the fear gradually fades.
Absolutely, overcoming that initial fear is key. It might feel unnatural at first, but the control it gives becomes evident with practice. Keep pushing through! 🎿
This is a really really good video. But I have one critique. When you start skiing for real, I'm not seeing the hips come forward. What I see instead is the retraction of the feet. The feet make a "winshield wiper" motion behind you, as if the winshield was just under the tails of your skis. This is the motion that I would focus on in your traverse trill ... feet forward to meet the bump, retract and tips down on the backside.
Bump Skiers don't count years; they count moguls. There are no Old Bump Skiers because they're too busy having a 'bump'in good time! Keep the fun vibes going! 😄🎉🎿⏳ #BumpNotOld
Hi Marek-Expanse, sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the sound. 🎧 Have you checked your device's audio settings and the video player's volume control to ensure everything is turned up? Sometimes, it could be a simple fix like adjusting the volume. If the problem persists, it might be worth trying a different device or browser to see if the issue persists. Let me know if you need further assistance! 🎶
Best mogul video explanation I think I’ve ever seen. Thanks for doing one just on the hip coming through!

Liked this simple 'bend and extend' basic practise 🙏. Thank you 🌹
Thanks Julie . I appreciate the instruction. Hope to see you again before the season is over.

Wonderful hints..really appreciate them
.well done. Thanks so much
Nice
Wonderful tips and beautiful skiing! Thank You!
Very nice
This video was on my recommended list. I liked and subscribed.

So glad I subscribed to your channel earlier in the season. It’s led to huge progress! Thank you!

Наглядно объясняете, спасибо!
Great instruction Julie. I am going to practice the 'feet pull back' next week when I go skiing. Thanks 😀
Great video! I learned a lot thank you!

Jeff: yes! My probs exactly.
Julie: many thanks for such a clear explanation.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Great video Julie!
I'm wondering what dimensions of a ski do you prefer to ski moguls like that?
Thanks again and I love the flat land drill....

Omg how did you film these segments?
But student don't use the move you explained "put it inside" they are always flexed .. Is correct?

Please, make a separate channel on skiing! you deserve it.

Like the old saying goes: “There’s “Old Skiers” and there’s “Bump Skiers” - but there ain’t no “Old Bump Skiers”…..😏

Wrong, I'm 72 and still rock in bumps. BTW, just like she telling us…
No sound 😵💫
