 Poster: A snowHead
|
Watching the moguls competition from Calgary. They've covered the course in something. I assume this is to give some extra definition to the slop/moguls as it seems to be flat light/the shady side of the mountain.
Anyway this is probably a numpty question... what do they cover the course in? It looks like they've had the christmas tree chipper spraying over the course.

I think they cover it in Christmas tree chippings. Its for definition

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It is tree chips to help give some definition to the bumps in flat light.

@Russeh, bumps are the essence of skiing. If you can’t ski bumps, you can’t really ski.

@Cinsha, can’t answer the question, maybe it’s because pine is pretty resinous? I have skied over it many times, and it doesn’t cause a problem.

@Cinsha, bumps are pretty specific. But once you get them...

The pine needles do not catch on the skis. They sink into the snow but allow competitors better definition in flat light. You need to be able to 'spot' the landing after doing the airs.
I am a moguls judge.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@mogulski, Ah, pine needles not tree chippings per se. Thanks for the answer. ..."spot the landing after doing the airs" - I just like to stay upright for a bit!
It is like poetry in motion when you watch an expert on them; I am in awe.

FAQ
Does it not catch under the skis?
