There are many different ways to ski the bumps, and as far as we know their is no celestial mogul judge who decides which kind of bump skiing is right and which is wrong. However, we mortals swim in opinions on the subject. Some people say its the specialists - World Cup and professional mogul skiers who run the hottest through the bumps. Others claim that a strong, highly trained instructor or experienced patroller is tops. Still others maintain that a good alpine racer will beat anybody down the mountain. Who is right? Nobody.

If you take three ski professionals: one a racer, one a top mogul competitor, and one a seasoned ski patroller or instructor - and send them down the same bump field, you will see very diverse styles of skiing. All the skiers will ski fast and bold, but they will usually employ slightly different strategies.
