Used to be an Instructor in Steamboat, 1999-2011, met Cooper Shell there, skied with Plake early season at Loveland Pass 2009ish, he is a great guy. This video is a good find. Thanks.

You have no idea what it meant for me in Poland when I saw Mogul skiing at Winter Olympics in Calgary 88. I wanted that "type" of skiing only. In 1993 I move to USA. Now I skied almost every mountain in NA and I know almost all back country/ side country places. Became a free skier. Dragged my kids across trees since they were 3 years old. Now at 16 they ski bumps in trees and are in the air every 2 seconds. If they had that talent back then in the 90's they would be Olympians :) Like the guy says: Look who is skiing bumps and you will know who can ski. From bumps to dropping cliffs the transition is very natural.

When I was young I loved stump films and had a blast skiing the bumps. Then I got older and moved to a hill where it snowed so much the mountain literally never had them. I never missed them at all.

Then I ditched the alpine bindings early in 93' and swapped out Riva cable telemark bindings on a pair of 210cm Dynastar Course Gs skis. I used the Merrell Super Comp telemark boots w/ the white plastic cuff. Ripping the big bumps rock solid and stoned to the bone on a sunny day at speed on that set-up was like attaining the state of nirvana! .

I confess I bought shaped skis and now I am carving ... but always came undone in the bumps. Ye are not men - but gods!! ... love the sound track too!

Back in the day we used to do it all on 78mm slalom skis lol. By necessity. Course you added a snorkel for those bottomless pow days cause you were so down and deep. I’ve got a 20 something son working the western ski resorts. Normally rides 110 to 120mm on pow days. He watched me last year on my 82 mm. As a result decided to try a 93mm a few days ago on a champagne day. He said, “I get now. I’ve never had so much fun.”

Pete West I learned bumps in the 80s on a pair of HART freestyle 190s.. see lots of them in these clips!! I run lifts for little Bristol Mountain (NY) and have never lost the desire for bumps.. our freestyle team has put out quite a bunch of mogul skiers including Morgan Schild , Jon and Chris Lillis , and Bristols "super six" Dylan walzyac(total misspelling??) and others.. several in the Olympics and national and World Cup class!! I love these old movies !!! Of course the day Glen Plake visited Bristol I was not working🙁 would have loved to high five him!! The quote he made "show me a ski resort with no bumps and I will believe you" must have been BEFORE his visit to Bristol... we are lucky to have one zipperline for the freestyle team practice and for the northeastern freestyle jam competition we get both an A and B course..

Rick Parshall: Nice 👍. I ran bumps like a demon for a number of years. Had the ultimate iconic ski for the bumps back then - K2 Fours baby. Red, white and blue. Ridden by Wayne Wong and crew. Hart’s didn’t come into dominance until sometime after that “hotdog” period. I look at bumps with yearning these days. I might run 100 yds of a zipper line now and then. But I have to force myself to stay away. My knees can no longer handle it. I pay a major price days afterward if I take it too far (MCL’s). But that’s a minor price to pay to be able to still slide down mountains. (I noticed I have a typo above - that should be 68mm slalom skis. 78mm would be way too wide back then.)

The best mogul skis I owned and rode were a pair of 213cm Kastle Super G skis circa 19990/91 season. The tangerine orange Super GSM model. I took em' heli skiing in BC, too the last week of December 90' and the guides looked at me like I was loco when they loaded up the above mentioned 213 cm Kastle Super G skis. By the end of the day they saw the light! LOL! Surface area equals speed and stability......Cascade concrete on late 80's/early 90's box cut slalom skis? Go over the tops, not just in the troughs--the big boards smooth out a bump field like you can;t believe on long , stiff skis, if you can ride the bull.

Maggie, back in the 90s when I made my living patrolling I only used 205 GS skis. They worked even in the bumps of Ketchum because I adjusted my line about half way up the moguls. I think a lot of other people came to the same conclusion. I had to make that adjustment to survive chopped bumps made by too many people traversing. Like you say about Plake, it's ALL about how ya bend em!
