How do you ski the bumps?

[gmcunni]

Which style of bump skiing do you do?

PSIA = slow controlled moves; grace,finesse,calculated.

WC = Point,absorb and haul-ass!

 

[gmcunni]

me, PSIA (not that i learned it but using poconovfr's def that is what i do (not so much grace and finesse though))

I like to river run or in more plain english "ski the trough"

I strive for WC, but usually come up way short, especially on steeper bumps where I'll round out my turns a lot more.

switch on a mono ski with a turbo jet back mounted on my chest to propel me down the hill

I don't know, where does "point them and try to hang on" fall? WC or PSIA?

I think that may fall into the"oh shit,what did I just get myself into" or other catagory.

I learned to ski bumps before most people knew what PSIA was. ASTAN all the way.

And here I thought you would forgot.

I picked other because I don't have any style, just try to get down them without killing myself or looking like a total douche.

I’m more of a point, absorb, haul ass and be completely out of control bump skier. I strive to achieve the oh shat I’m going way too fast and can’t slow down feeling.

Not well, hopefully that will change byt the end of the season

Would sliding through the troughs face first fall in the "other" category? You know, I'm only asking for a friend of mine who wanted to know...

Good question, because other than that, I..er, I mean, this guy I know, will tend to stay on the side. Or a different trail that doesn't have bumps. Cause, you know, he's a wimp.

I didn't think anybody on this forum has seen me ski moguls before.

You still need to work on that :grin: (but so do I)

 

[Beetlenut]

Sporadically at best! That's of course when I'm not skiing them on my collar bone. :sad:
