Plant your pole early and further down the fall line than
usual.
Keep your arms forwards.
Allow your pole to release as you pass over the mogul.

Your pole plant is even more important in mogul skiing than
when skiing the flat. Any fault in your pole plant is instantly transmitted
to your body, resulting in a loss of balance and control. Work on improving
your pole plants and your mogul skiing will improve dramatically. If problems
persist, try using a shorter pair of poles for skiing bumps.

Life In The Fast Line
Bump skiing can be a very exhilharating experience. But it should also be
a very personal experience: there are as many ways of skiing bumps as there
are skiers on the mountain.
