There are several approaches to bump skiing. This is a good transitional technique for skiers moving from groomers to hacked up snow or easy bumps because it allows you to ski THROUGH bumps rather than OVER them. It would also work in bigger bumps if you used less spring or leg extension.
I have skied with Norm and he is an AWESOME all-round skier! I doubt that anyone posting here could keep up with him in ANY conditions.
@olleofthehillpeople k wow. he's one of the best skiiers you will ever see, and he's not making this video for people attempting hard bumps. It's just for people who are making the adjustment from groomed terrain to harder terrain and easy bumps
@factorclassic A narrow stance is not old school there dude. He is carving but it's mixed with the right amount of pivoting. It's called steering.
Terrain and conditions dictate what stance to use. World cup ski racers and top level IV's will ski this type of terrain with a narrower stance. In the course though they will open up.
AMAZING

This is a fine piece of instruction as long as you do the exact opposite of what he advocates.
Let's call a spade a spade; this terrain is not "bumps" and this is no technique for bump skiing.
Try this on a real bump and call me when you reenter the earth's atmosphere..

Wish mogul skiers would do more of this. Instead of just zipper lining. Great tip and skiing
