Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing by Dan DiPiro

Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul SkiingIn this short and concise self published effort through Authorhouse, former pro-bumper Dan DiPiro describes in pictures and words proper mogul technique for all skiers. Although the book is written towards a zipper line mentality, the basics and foundations of proper bump technique are the same whether you hammer the zipper line, enjoy naturally formed bumps, or have only dabbled into the bumps occasionally on the side of groomed trails. DiPiro is highly critical of the PSIA and any other person or organization that advocates applying traditional “race technique” to bump skiing. DiPiro includes one or two cheap zingers against racing in general. However, DiPiro mostly stays on topic in delivering the proper bump techniques needed to successfully navigate any bump line with style and ease. Every skier that desires to be an “All Mountain Skier” needs to have a variety of techniques available in their skill set for various conditions and terrain challenges that the mountains present. DiPiro’s excellent book provides a great foundation for unlearning bad habits and understanding the correct techniques unique to mogul skiing that every skier should develop.
