I've seen a lot of good advice in this thread and I'll add my 2 cents. Basically you'll want to read, watch youtube videos on technique/drills, or take a lesson. Better yet, do all three. Start with flatland drills to work on pole plant, edging, and stance. In particular:

  • Get comfortable making lots of short radius turns with an even rhythm. Then get comfortable changing rhythm part way through a slope. Moguls won't necessarily have a consistent spacing so you will want to be ready to adapt to those inconsistencies.
  • Get comfortable with your edges. Sideslip drills are great for learning edge control. Make sure to keep your eyes up, shoulders square to the fall line, and hands forward.

    One skill you can't learn on the flats is leg extension and compression. A good drill for this is to find an intermediate mogul field and ski across rather than down while making sure to compress your legs toward your chest as you ski into a mogul and extend your legs away from your chest into the trough as you ski over it. Try to keep your shoulders moving on a plane because this drill is all about your legs.

    Finally, ski moguls and don't get mad at yourself when you fall. Work at stringing together 2 then 3 then 5 then 10 good turns through the bumps. Good luck!
