This document will review the basics of mogul skiing; body position, turn timing and shape, range of motion and jumping. The athlete must be proficient at the 4 basic skiing skills on groom before challenging them with the more difficult terrain of waves and moguls. Body Position The correct body position in moguls requires some adjustment from the position used in non-mogul specific groom terrain. The head must continue to be held in a natural position with the vision ahead in order to read the upcoming terrain. The upper body must be upright with the arms held in front at approximately mid torso height. Figure 1.1 (Figure 1.1) In profile view the shoulders and hips should be in line over the arch of the foot.

  • Moguls Resource Pack Introduction to Elementary and Turning Skills COACHING and DEVELOPING MOGUL SKIING on DRY SLOPES in the UK
    Moguls Resource Pack Introduction to Elementary and Turning Skills COACHING AND DEVELOPING MOGUL SKIING ON DRY SLOPES IN THE UK Summary 1995 saw the introduction of a competitive series of mogul (bumps) events in the UK. This circuit organised by the English Ski Council encompassed England and Wales. Scotland was not included, as there are no artificial ski slopes with moguls in Scotland. SNSC in conjunction with ESC organise Upright Aerials competitions, which are integrated into a combined Scottish/English league. SNSC organises a Scottish Moguls series on snow in addition to an Anglo/Scottish Snow Championships. Previous Scottish competitions have been featured on Grandstand. There has been some talk of Bearsden and Hillend putting in waves or moguls however this has not come to fruition. Until 1995 there was no real structure to bumps skiing on artificial slopes. A couple of one off events had been held at Sheffield Ski Village in the previous five years however these had not moved the sport onwards. Many artificial ski slopes have waves; a few such as Sheffield, Chatham and Stoke actually have moguls. Norfolk Ski Centre has even put in a rut line using Dendix’s new flex matting. By all accounts the extra cushioning that this material provides has ensured that their rut line is the nearest thing to snow seen as yet. In 1995 it was decided to start a series encompassing Chatham, Pontypool, Sheffield, Bromley and Stoke, with a stand alone All England Championships at Sheffield. The series was Originally known as the Grand Prix Mogul Series but would actually become known as the “Moguls Tour”.

  • Designing for Professional Skiers Designing Equipment for Professional Alpine Skiers and Freestyle Skiers
    Designing for Professional Skiers Designing Equipment for Professional Alpine Skiers and Freestyle skiers. Yvonne Maria Rørvik Department of Product Design Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) ABSTRACT Products that are designed for professional athletes are products of high quality and endurance, since the athletes often rely on their equipment to be the best. To create these kind of products, designers must work with the best materials and test their products for improvement often to be able to get the best possible solution possible. In addition to this, there are rules and regulations that must be taken into consideration to make sure that the product is safe to use, and that it does not violate any laws or constrictions given by unions such as FIS (Fédération Internationale de Ski). This paper looks at the challenges and factors to take into consideration when designing for professional athletes, alpine skiers in particular. Since alpine ski racing is a sport with high risk of knee injuries, the focus for this article will be to look at safety and injury prevention. It will also be to look at the effectiveness of sponsorship, and will give guidelines to what a designer should take into consideration when designing for professional alpine skiers. KEYWORDS: Athlete safety, Sponsorship, Users’ need, Alpine skiing 1. INTRODUCTION From the designer’s point of view, there is The author of this article has been skiing since often an attempt to combine aesthetics, the age of five, and skiing and snowboarding is function, and technology when designing sport still one of her favorite hobbies.
