Slide and bump sounds about right. Thanks for the tip I'll check that out after work.
edit: couldn't wait... watched a few vids. Looks like Sun Valley method is something like how I tackle low angle bumps... except not as fast as the pros in the videos and I tend to get a little air off the occasional bump just for fun.
The video did help me realize one thing.. I am not doing a good job pulling my skis back under me, and therefore there are occasions where I feel my balance starts to get way back and I no longer have good control or speed control. Gotta work on that. This seems like a big reason why my shallow bump and steep bump technique is drastically different.
Sorry to hijack thread OP hopefully this stuff is useful to many people trying to better themselves in the bumps
Nice analysis of your own skiing. The action you're looking for is not so much "pulling your ski back" but rather pressure. When you coming over the top of the mogul you want to be driving your tips into the next mogul by adding a lot of toe pressure. I really like the gas pedal analogy. You will find that if you really grasp this idea, you will find a huge improvement in your balance and overall aggressiveness in the bumps. Hope this helps
