Skiing Tip - Be Keenly Aware Of Your Edge Angles

When skiing moguls you must try extra hard to avoid having high edge angles. Why?

If you are on easy groomed terrain - and you are standing directly on top of your skis without adding angulation - the bases of your skis wiil be relatively flat to the snow. However, if you are skiing in a mogul run and you are standing directly on top of your skis the edge of your skis will likely have a high edge angle relative to the slope on the downhill side of each mogul.

What this means is that when you ski moguls you need to be keenly aware at all times of the ever-changing slope of the terrain underneath your skis. Just by virtue of the fact that when your skis become perpendicular to the fall line slope on a mogul means that the edges of your skis will be at a high edge angle relative to the slope underneath your feet. And when your skis are on a high edge angle you will carve and increase your speed.

To your success in becoming a better mogul and powder skier.
