Skiing moguls for the first time.

I agree that the focus is skiing one bump well, the problem with this is when the bumps are spread between one trail and a lift ride, that ah-ha feeling gets lost when you try to get that feeling again. Sometimes you never get it again for the day.

The value in rollers and low angle bumps is repetition, you get an immediate shot of that ah-ha and hopefully it gets put into muscle memory.

Right. But more often than not, we have to ski the terrain we have, not the terrain we wished we have. We have to practice on the terrain we have. We have to learn on the terrain we have. Which in the end makes you a better skier, ie a skier that can ski the terrain that exists on a daily basis. If the bumps you have are too far apart, or too irregular, or have the tops scraped off, then those are the kind of bumps you practice on today.

I've never been on a trail that had the kind of wide wave shaped repeating rollers that video depicted. Low angle bump runs though, do exist if you seek them out. At Killington Ridge Run and Vagabond are famous for that, with occassional seeded bumps on MTS.

I've had days, and I'm sure you've had days, when the bumps come enjoyably easy, the rythym and shape fall beneath your feet, the surface is soft and you can absorb or blast the tops at will. You can even add a little powder in the troughs. Those conditions are dreamy. I just don't find them all the time.
