I'm ok'ish on moguls it's the deep powder that does me in.

Just because you don't do well in powder, doesn't mean you're not a good skier. The same people on powder and the race course.

I would have thought very short skis would also be good - the kids seem to have no problem getting through them. I had to get through a mogul field in a lesson last holiday, and the moguls were huge - about the height of a kitchen worktop and really steep! The only thing I could do was sit on them and swing my legs and skis round (which is obviously not the recommended technique!).

It is another of the many things I need to get better at.
