A. Fast line
Stand at the top of a bump run and visualize water flowing down it--it will flow right down the flow line, but because of momentum, arc up the sides of the bumps. This is the Fast line--the line followed by serious bumpers and others with bionic legs. You'll know when you're ready for this line, although most recreational skiers will sometimes be forced into it. Because of this, you may want to play around a little in it.

Understand that it is the fast line, so be aware that warp speed is just around the corner. Ski it for fun, but for a controlled bump run, you'll have to come back to the slow line.

B. Slow line
By finishing your turn around and beneath bumps, you'll be able to widen the corridor you're skiing in.

This translates to more control, less speed, probably more fun. To ski this line effectively, you must:

C. Top to top
This is for the dancers and fliers in the crowd. You need a completely offensive and free-spirited approach to skiing moguls this way--not to mention the athletic ability.

To start, try a short series of bumps.

Basically, you'll reach terminal velocity and use primarily the top of the bump to turn on or slow you down.

This method is fun if the snow is user-friendly and soft. On hardpacked bumps, the body can take a real beating.

Think of the soft bump as a type of launching pad; propelling you up and over the oncoming bump to land on the backside of the one following. There, you can make a dynamic short turn to come back to earth.

Print this out for future reference and remember to have fun!
