I bought a pair of High Society FRC’s (freeride camber) this year. They are a fully cambered (more camber than my mogul skis), all wood, twin tip. I love them in the bumps. I also have a pair of Hart F17 classics and F17 World Cups. I didn’t bother using either this year and just skied the High Society’s. They are soft - in both the tip AND tail. I’d prefer a stiffer tail, but it’s not a deal breaker. FWIW, I’m a bit on the light side at 165ish, so if you are a heavy dude, you may not like them as much as me. However I like them enough that I just bought a backup pair from left lane sports (online) for $250 (179’s).

It's not lame to ski moguls on 200 cm length with a 120mm width.
The French analyzed this retraction stuff years ago, terming it "avalement". See Georges Joubert.

It is lame to ski moguls?
My biased opinion is that moguls are best skied on a monoski, any form of teleskis (preferably with a tab on the tongue), or snowblades.
When I was 10, I had a ski lesson at Kirkwood that focused on moguls (only moguls lesson that I ever had). It’d rained the day before followed by a clear and cold night. Rock solid bumps on zacharies. My instructor was on 204 80’s era GS boards. Super fun day!

Good question. It was the mid-80's. I can't remember.

there are different types of Moguls
those zipperline strategy types are more for competition size Moguls -real tight medium size bumps ,of near exact size and distance (these are the Knee Beaters>stay away ,unless you want to challenge yourself)
Then there's my fav> the Huge car size moguls on the steeps..with decent snow, we can carve these weird angles like mad...it is super fun-no tight knee knocking needed there
then there's those Traverse moguls ...fullspeed ahead! Jump those ruts!
Icy Moguls...they finally ate my knee up/skiing strength again finally,,fk that shit.. ski on snow
Spring Moguls are easier to carve too , but form tighter as the we go downhill… lots of options for style variationski paintingshttp://michael-cuozzo.fineartamerica.com" horror has a face; you must make a friend of horror...horror and moral terror.. are your friends...if not, they are enemies to be feared...the horror"....col Kurtz

There’s a post from a mag who threw down a pretty nice run and did pretty well in a major comp in Canada for his 40th birthday. Space reserved if I can find it and link it.
Edit..here it is!

If you ever decide you want someone to take those IDOnes off your hands, let me know.
Fuck yes. This is awesome. Jetski, I am impressed. I can tell you competed in the '90s by your stance and hand position. And I dug the old school aerials too, Helicopter, Spread Eagle, Twister, Twister. Gunna throw a Daffy next time?
If it's cool with you, I'm going to go ahead and cross-post this with the tangentially related Old Man Park Skiing thread.

This video was taken at Killington this past Saturday. (not my vid) Great technique of every kind.
As far as the comment "you don't see 40 year olds zipping bump", interesting to note, more than half the people in the vid are 40+, some of those are 50+ and there are a couple who are 60+.

We'll be hanging all weekend at the K beach.
Goniff uploaded this gif from Saturday K skiing of The Hammer zipping it up. He is well into his 50's.

Here's a video I made featuring Vt-Freeheel, Buttahflake and non-mag Madhatter celebrating June 1, Superstar spring bumps, and a tribute to Radio Ron, who broke his leg the week before on SS. Sadly, he has not been back since then. He has been a big part of the spring bump culture at K and is missed.

Some more stoke for the weekend K bumpers. This one I made this same weekend in 2017. A lot of the same play-ahs with a good mix of every disciplines.

Longest machine built line I have ever skied. 300 m and around 76 bumps. I was gassed and my lower back is sore...
Not my best skiing but after staring at that line for 10 days I had to give it a go. Top 10 turns are way steeper than it looks. Location is saddle run area at Whistler
