- This video is a project for my Level 4 as a member of IASI (Irish Association Of Ski Instructors) It's about skiing bumps and variable terrain and the techniques and tactics that work for me personally within my own skiing.
It was filmed over 3 days in mid to late April 2018 and I used a 175cm 15.5m radius piste ski for the whole video.
The idea is that it becomes a useful resource for other IASI members coming through the system and might perhaps help them with either their own skiing or teaching/coaching. I also hope it inspires other members to perhaps make video's for their own projects and increase the number if IASI resources.
I hope the video doesn't come across as me preaching that things are done in certain ways but rather that these are ideas that work for me and might do for others too.
Big thanks to Jordan Revah for filming!

Sorry, I don't have time to reply to all comments. Remember these are techniques that work for me. In my opinion there's no right or wrong way just ways that work on an individual level.
Could I have softer boots? Yep definitely. Could I be more forward? Yep definitely. Do I need to be in the air? Nope but it's FUN! Is pivoting being defensive? Probably but so what. What if your tired or simply can't be bothered dealing with a deep rut line? Could I have more absorption and a stronger core? 100% yes.
The list could go on but the point is for those saying "you need to do this or more of that". How do you know? You haven't met me and don't know what my goals are. The things you are saying are what you personally would like to see from a pre conceived image in your head. You should think about that and maybe it will improve your teaching.
I watched your video many many times, and followed you to do some drills and tried to put them into my skiing. I found it really help. Thank you so much!
For me and where I am in skiing, this is the best ski video I have seen. Progression format (simple to more complex) is great, and the drills really show how to get from the beginning to the advanced level. Short points with the right amount of commentary, then move on to the next point. There was so much covered without bogging down in any one area. I will use this as my blueprint for bumps. More videos, please!
One of the greatest ski lesson videos!!! I am very happy to find this video. Thank you very much.
Excellent presentation Andy. I especially like the progressive dolphin turn approach. I think it's a great drill and confidence builder for the many who're intimidated by bumps. Well done.
Great video, inspiring skiing and very clear commentary. Love the variety of approaches to skiing bumps.
Well done mate. Great style, mixed technique and fluid on the mountain. Hugely informative video to boot.
I am sure I will watch this video more than once. Very inspirational Andy!
What a phenomenal, concise and thorough skiing video of which I’ve seen hundreds. Hats off to you! I will be using all of these training, drills, assets and advice. Frankly, I’m not sure if I’ll need anything else. A BIG, BIG THANK YOU!
wow, glad I found your channel. I appreciate the humility (you're sharing what works for you, not the "right way" to ski everything). Excellent camera work as well!
Instablaster.
Long time since Hotham Andy! Good to see you in this.
Wow! This one of the best technique workshops for the intermediate and advanced skier I’ve seen.
Thank you, that was a real master class; so articulate, so fluid, incredible direct presentation of so much useful material. 👏 👍
Love the video!! Such a good breakdown of steps and drills. Job well done!
Bookmarked. Excellent bumps/moguls training video!
I love this video so much. It is by far the most useful, most helpful video I've found on how to improve my skiing. Thank you.
Excellent presentation, well thought out and great advice and demonstrations. I particularly like the tactical approach to bumps.
So much good technique, I will have to watch this over and over.
A brilliant video. Love your style and form.
You are totally the man -- extremely articulate and constructive, understated and completely generous with your experience and advice. This is so helpful -- Thank you very much indeed!!! :)) JM in NYC
really excellent video. lots of techniques there to work on. ive finally worked out by watching youtube that skiing requires a mixed bag of approaches, styles and turns. i was trying to just use the one technique for bumps (turning on the top) that an instructor told me. thats not right. its a full gamut of turns and approaches !
great job and thank you.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. After 25 years of hiatus, I started up skiing and these practices shall help me get back in good skiing. Cheers
Wow. So how’s it going these days? I had to take about 15 years off due to a divorce and associated expenses. I missed skiing deeply as it was my favorite sport which I began at age 8. It was so great to get back into it about 10 years ago. The benefit of being forced to quit skiing is that I took up a couple other sports I’d been interested in that are similar to skiing. The most similar being whitewater kayaking. Once you have the gear it lasts for years unlike skiing. Secondly it’s completely free - except for the gas to get you to your destinations. None-the-less skiing still ranks numero uno for me and I was so happy to start again - the first real trip being to Aspen, Aspen Highlands and Snowmass. On my old dated gear lol. I stood out :) Very surprising to me skiing was like riding a bike - everything came back almost immediately. Thank god for muscle memory.
ive has 25 yr hiatus too. kids and family got in the way. now im keen to ramp it up as much as i can going forward!
Hi Andy, really fab video. Makes a lot of sense and looks wonderful. Val ( Revelstoke 2018!)
Andy your video is very helpful in discussing the varied methods of skiing bumps...this is an area that I need to work on. PSIA,
excellent..Andy...thank you for the video...I was looking what felt like forever for some helpful videos about ski excercises for bumps and moguls
..your project video wins hands down...more videos from you would be greatly appreciated..Thank you👍
This is probably the best bumps instruction video I have seen so far.
Very good and clear explanation. Also really like tyour philosophy behind of skiing that there is no "one true way" it's things thgat work for you.
This vid is awesome. A ton of great info.
Really great love your way of presenting
Lots of useful information in there explained very simply, thanks man.
Great video Andy. Informative and inspiring.
Nice vid, Andy. The bumps section especially interesting. Have to try some of the less athletic items next time on snow. Good luck with your Level 4.
I think this video is the best mogul film I have ever watched.
Thanks! Great presentation, the tactical part is enlightening!
Good vid! I like the "tip and tail" turn or half dolphin. I'll give that a go next ski session.
you nailed this video. Excellent personal experience injected, great drill ideas and well filmed. You perfected the fine line and balance between explanation and theory, demonstration and follow up ideas. I'll be doing all these drills for sure. I'd like to see the drills listed in your write up so i can copy them off on my phone for future use. I have one super minor constructive criticism....imo, turn the background tunes down a touch. Keep up the amazing work, i look forward to watching more.
Thanks for telling us what kind of skis. Most videos fail to do that
Look Ma, we are learning to ski from an Irishman. Well done Sir. Thank you for the video.
Excellent. Especiallly all the playful variablity - as opposed to "this move is THE way to do it."
Great skiing!!!! 😀
I will practice your exercices next season.
You should do more of these, I really like how your ideas flow and build. This is the best mogal tutorial I've watched and I would be very interested to see you ideas on skiing steeps, powder, crud etc.
Mt Hood Meadows? 1989?
Fantastic content! More please!
Nice video with some good ideas, think I will be trying some of these ahead of the next mogul descent.
That really was quite excellent. Many thanks.
Nicely thought out and helpful. I wish there were a bit more on absorption, but this is terrific.
Nice to see technique on varied terrain- so often these clips are shown on ‘perfect’ snow.
I very much enjoyed watching this video. Love the progressions.
I think Andy exhibits a high degree of flexibility, much more than the general population. I wonder if others have given him this feedback. The rotational flexibility of his lower spine is incredible. It hurts watching him do it. I think that spinal flexibility is a blessing; he can accomplish what most of us cannot. At the same time, maybe it’s a crutch that maybe is preventing the development of a carved initiation of a short turn (in my opinion).
From the side-view video (great videography), I think Andy can benefit from a bit softer boot, to achieve more ankle flex. Either that or the gastroc’s need to be stretched and lengthened. But, seeing his overall flexibility, I doubt that very much.
Great job. Would like to see more.
I agree on the boots being too stiff. I think those boots were pretty much brand new at the time of filming. I'm not a heavy dude, only around 70kgs and I think those boots were a 130 flex with a foam injected sidas liner.
Your angulation in the bumps reminds me of Jonny Moseley. It looks like what I'm trying to feel in my skiing right now.
Best mogul lesson Thank you. from Korea
Спасибо!
nice speed control, looks solid!
Some good stuff ... excellent progression. There's a technique I believe u r using, which I refer to as a "soft outside ankle" that helps "smear" the outside ski for speed control that I hope u will talk about at some point. So many skiers try to ski bumps with stiff ankles, which holds them back. Your thoughts about what you feel in your feet and ankles would be great.
Very interresting Vidéo. I really I enjoy your way of breakdown the final achievement in little steps. I was also really happy to see that sometimes I use the same metaphores as you (backwards pedaling) and the same kind of exercices. Are you still in Verbier? I'm ski instructor in 4 valleys, I would really like to meet you and train with you.
Excellent. I'd like to see you or anyone do that so well on a snowboard.
wow... so good video! Looking for the nwxt one!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
This is a pivot to skid . Zipper line is not a turn because you do not change direction of travel. Pivot to skid is a defensing way of skiing.Bring your turns into the bumps.
Great presentation
excellent content!
I like the way you describe. 2×Big Thumbs Up For You video.
wow! very motivated
Superb instruction
really nice abd smooth! Irish know to ski :)
Cool video and explanation
God of bump skiing
Good info, and fresh perspectives on progressing one's bump skiing skills. However, pivoting in the ruts many times involves skidding down the backside of the bump, and this is what a lot of skiers do here in the New England states of the USA. Though it helps check speed, the technique eventually results in ever deeper ruts of exposed "boiler plate" on the backside of increasingly jagged bumps. The rounded turn off the front face or top of the bump is far more elegant and preserving of the trail. Just my two cents.
Nice drills I'm going to try these
good skiing m8 - watch reilly and keep working on an explosive short turn that manages speed....ur there.
great instructions for bumps thanks
You need good ski, what radius is ideal ??. Small ? like 10 meters ?
Great and very informative video. Huge thanks. That constant background muzak is really distracting though 🙄.
For advanced skiers there is a whole season worth of exercises in this video.
Nice, thanks.
Really helpful :) Thankyou :)
Thanks : )
What are the lenghts of your skis ?
12:13 thanks for this side view!
So they can see, how you move your feet forwards und backwards.
I'm a bit curious about some details like, what's your body weight , your booth flex ( 110 - 140 ? ) . This corn snow that you skied on is really fun to manage and at same time technical, isn't it Andy. I'm a Level 3 CSIA with some International mileage. 185 lbs , Booth Flex 150, Lange.
I'm about 75kg's so 166lbs roughly. I think those boots are a 130 with a foam injected liner and probably slightly too stiff for me. I've actually gone for a 120 for this coming season.
Irish Association Of Ski Instructors? There is one in the swamp?
looks so cool, like to train my self more thx for insperation
When you're making your quick short turns 2m -2m do you feel like your shins are pressed against the front of your boots?
Only briefly. Theres quite a lot of Fore aft movement going on so definitely not pressed the whole time.
Very interesting and lots of tips for practicing. One thing - would be better without the music as it’s a bit dominating but good video !
Really helpful, r.e double pole plant /timing:)
Leapers, chees grater, Olie turns, pop! When to Charleston?
Pole, pivot, shave> Senior citizen tactic! Pole swing/ pole plant... deflection? alternative weight transfer?
Drive your tips more on the back side and stop the "hopping" or "skipping", much easier to link your turns and keep your edges on the snow where you need them while skiing moguls. Also keep your core more tight, you're going to have a very sore back bobbing at the waist like that.
honestly, but loosing ground on bumps is the last thing i want to be happen if i do a mogul slope.
I think you need move more forward when you initiate a turn. Your position seems like middle-back
He’s in the back seat and not flexing his boots. But he’s on a soft ski (a 175 15 meter radius is not a size that high Performance gear is made in) so it doesn’t really matter.
The technique is fine and seems to work for him but I would not encourage this form as it’s not using the equipment properly. But I am coming from race coaching where we basically spend all of our tile unlearning the habits that prevent you from skiing fast and with control (back seat, no knee flexion, feet together, etc…). This form works on soft snow like in the video but you would be sliding all over the place on a girl surface haha
Awesome video. Music was wak tho
I know a ski instructor, the way he explains the extremly narrow stance is "austrian gay ski instructor style", especially when doing short turns. lol
Good skiing in horrible conditions, sun baked frozen crud.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. After 25 years of hiatus, I started up skiing and these practices shall help me get back in good skiing. Cheers
Are you serious? You ve been learning for 25 years before you finally did with this video? With all do respect to all. Is this for suckers?
You need to get stronger, develop more reaction from skis
Music too loud, nice video tho
Checked the date on the video literally....ski style is retro....upright, narrow stance....not for me.
Louis C I totally agree push your tips down over the top of the bump gives you control
🔇
I can tell from your feet position you are a mogul skier haha
Ideally though your feet should be easily 2-3 times the distance apart, assuming you want to carve. Carving can not properly happen with feet together like that, but hop turns and moguls do haha
Why would I want to carve? This is a video about moguls. If you tried to ski moguls with the feet 2 to 3 times wider not only would it be really hard physically, incredibly inefficient and slow, you would also look like a real douche!
Some of these drills are not appropriate for east coast bumps and may get you hurt.
Which east coast? I don't think Switzerland has any coasts apart from around the lakes😂
@@cunningweasel 😂😂❤️ yeah. Us east coast.
Min 5:30... ummm.. you are not doing that drill right. You're not jumping around a corner, you are supposed to hop across the bottom of the turn.
Forward and down, not back and up... keep practicing.
The toe up and down drill is called swedish carving or swedish turns.
Don't reinvent the ski wheel, just watch the swedes.
I'm doing the drill right because I thought of it. I've never seen anyone else do it so how could it be wrong if it's what I intend to do. If someone else does it differently then it's a different drill.
Also the toe up and down one works for me. I couldn't care less what it's called or who else does it. That's the whole point of the entire video. To get rid of the boxes and brackets created by instructors and coaches that ultimately restrict skiers performances. Every skier is different and not every drill works for everyone. In fact some people hate any drills at all.
@@cunningweasel why is it bad. Hmm..
Did you lean back to get the up motion? Yep...
What happens when you lean back down a mogul chute? You die.
I guarantee you watched someone else doing both these drills as they are old as time.
The real trick is that you are hopping from the outside ski to outside ski over the bump.
Watch a real mogul pro do that drill from over head. You'll see what i am talking about.
Then do the same for yourself. The difference is obvious.
@@cunningweasel what i am really saying is you dont understand the drills, so you shouldnt teach others bad habits.
Its not "restricting." I'm "protecting" others from you.
@@johnklaus9111 I do understand them because they are my drills. This is hilarious 😂😂😂
@@johnklaus9111 what's wrong with leaning back? I'm not dead as far as I'm aware 😂😂😂
How the heck can anyone give a video like this a thumbs down? It's inconceivable.
Good content, dreadful background noise.
your boot.binding are too upright
Omg! Not!
?
