I've been skiing for fifty years. Grew up in Denver, and took the ski train up every weekend to Winter Park/ Mary Jane with the Eskimo Ski Club. These instruction videos have really helped me to improve my bump skiing in my fifties - really helpful, thank you!
Then you should come join us one day this winter!! You can sign up through the Winter Park Competition Center. We would love to have you get on our course!
Although this is not the focus of this video, fore aft balance is critical in bump skiing - pulling the feet back as you go over the bump in order to pressure the front of the skis on the back side of the bump and as you approach the bump allowing the the feet to move forward as you hit the front side of the bump. You can clearly see this happening in the clips of the skiers skiing the bumps. Maybe this could be a future topic. Happy skiing.
I've been skiing since I was a kid but I've never been able to ski moguls. This year I've been watching mogul videos and I think you've been the greatest help! I think I have a plan of attack for the remaining few weeks of the season here in Quebec. Thks.
The videography combined with comprehensive descriptions of what certain body parts are doing & what to feel are what keep me coming back. These are incredibly clear instructional videos. 1 request for future video(s): to show what you mean by the ‘hip coming through’.
@@julierayrealtor7996 Looking forward to it! Mogul instructional videos must be the most difficult of on any kind: 1) The snow and lighting make it near impossible to see the contours of a mogul 2) the skier is often hidden in a trough or momentarily visible then hidden by other bumps as a movement pattern is being discussed, 3) ski clothes/boots hide the smaller movements of the body and 4) shooting angles are too low or from poor vantage points. Because of the framing of your vids (actual yellow boxes), the elevated angles, I think your videos are the best I’ve seen to show actual body movements, in slo-mo, as you explain them.
What should the hips be doing either skiing the flats or moguls? For example when I ski either the flats or the moguls, I visualize raising my new uphill hip as soon as I release the edge of the ski. This serves to "unlock" my new uphill hip and allows for a smooth lead change, enabling me to fully commit to the new downhill ski early in the turn. Your comments would be appreciated. BTW, great video, TY.
@@julierayrealtor7996 Exactly, the hips move to the inside of the turn as the new downhill ski becomes weighted. What I visualize when making mogul turns on both the flats and in the moguls is simply a lateral shift of the hips as I release the edge of my downhill ski. So, when I finish a left turn, my hips will shift, (or slide) to the right which is the inside of what is now a right turn. This shift also serves to lift my new inside hip which facilitates a smooth lead change and gets me on my new DH ski early.
I noticed the "street bumps" in the title. To me , those are the wide diamond shaped bumps that form on steep wide runs due to people traversing. I keep looking for people using the side slashing approach I had to evolve to when I made my living patrolling on 205s. It turned those nasty bumps into a joy.
This is really helpful mogul skiing instruction. My skiing has really benefitted from your guidance, thank you! I grew up in Denver, and learned to ski at Winter Park/ Mary Jane - so a big bonus that you are instructing at that great ski area!⛷⛷
Really Enjoyed your videos. Pulling back Was the big thing I was missing. That was the key element I think that's gonna bring me to the next level. I would ask people I would see that would just rip up the moguls friends ski coaches. And you are the 1st person to mention. I'm going to Killington Vermont Friday for the weekend. Looking forward to practicing this. Bend and extend 💪
Its pretty convincing and necessary too, thst you can show and execute what you teach. My true admiration for this way of teaching and professionalism shown ⛷️. Camera work also good enough. And it was nice you showed your pupils runs too. Shoots dont lie. Lucky to bump into your vlog. 🌹. Ski greetings from 🇫🇮.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled you found the content convincing and appreciated the demonstration of what I teach. The camera work is a labor of love, and I'm glad it added to your experience. Showing my pupils' runs is all about authenticity-shoots don't lie. I'm grateful you found my vlog, and sending ski greetings back to 🇫🇮! ⛷️🌹

Love the analogy of the penny. Can’t wait I next ski to try it
Honestly, these are the best instructional videos out there. Great content and explanation! Keep up the great work!

You have such a great eye. Can't wait to see you guys on Wednesday.

Best ski instructor on the planet. Thank you so much Julie.

@@julierayrealtor7996Julie- do you mind letting us know what you’re skiing on? It looks like different skis in different parts of the video. Thanks!

Awesome tips❤❤
Great mogul, instructional videos! There just isn’t a lot of content like this out there. Thank you!

Great lesson!! I love how concise you are.

Iove your videos and your coaching style. Where do you teach??
Winter Park Co
You use your very quick feet that your students do not possess.....
