    Recite Gettysburg Address, Ski Free at MC Thurs 2-12

    You can actually see the Gettysburg battlefield from where we ski in Pennsylvania at this nice hill called Ski Liberty. You can see Big Roundtop, Little Roundtop, the wide-open field where Pickett's Charge happened, and the central monument. It's several miles away across the farmland but you...

    Skyline posted this on Mogulskiing.net. It's cool & I hadn't seen it cross-posted here yet so figured I'd add it. Thanxxx Skyline! Aiko Uemura's mogul technique vid with turns, drills, etc. https://m.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=85114404&v=C3QgJGkDUHc&x-yt-ts=1422579428 Translation item...

    Summer Slopes

    It feels like falling onto a million sharpened toothbrush bristles, and makes lots of small puncture wounds. Ouch! <I found out>. You gotta ski it in long sleeves.

    Summer Slopes

    There's a snowflex slope down at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. http://www.liberty.edu/snowflex/ I visited it a couple of times a few years ago. If they had moguls or rollers like in the Japanese vid, it would be worth it for occasional summer practice. Liberty U's place has mostly all...

    Whitetail mogul run 2014-02-25

    Yep! Was out there today and the lines are still good. They were pretty icy in the troughs but soft on top from blown snow. Now we might get 6-12" from the upcoming storm... fingers crossed. Or maybe *ain grrrrr

    Whitetail mogul run 2014-02-25

    Exhibition trail at Whitetail (mid-Atlantic) has built up some really nice moguls after the big snows last week. Sheesh, this pic uploaded super-small, like Stonehenge in Spinal Tap. Maybe some nice person can tell me how to get the pic to show up a bit bigger. The pic shows only the...

    Mt. Aurora Ski Land, Fairbanks Alaska

    Some friends of ours moved to Fairbanks to teach at the University of Alaska and invited us to visit them. We skied together yesterday at Mt. Aurora Ski Land. http://www.skiland.org/ Six inches of fresh powder, and a fun, slow old double chair from the 1960s. One of the amazing things was...

    How to ski moguls?

    Hmm, maybe looking at the flattened images in the videos makes it hard to read what's happening in the reality. The Canadians' flats turns are super-early, with much-much of the speed control coming in the top half of each turn, exactly as you describe. The snow starts shooting out from under...
