His writing style is easy to read and easy to visualize. The images accompanying the text are also infinitely helpful. <br /> <br />DiPiro's message is solid. Following the drills and tips he provides, you are sure to advance you mogul skiing abilities in leaps and bounds. His approach to mogul technique intentionally avoids discussion of "carving," in the conventional alpine sense. Be sure to remember as you read, that this doesn't mean your skis should be flat and skidding! DiPiro simply emphasizes that the technique used in moguls ought not be derived solely from alpine carving, but should rather be an exploration into an entirely different realm of skiing. <br /> <br />I read this book just as I was getting into skiing bumps. It truly opened my eyes to "real" mogul skiing. I was able to develop and hone my skills much more effectively with the knowledge learned from reading DiPiros book not once, but three times! The concepts truly came to life after I received coaching at a Mogul Logic camp. At this juncture, I must also note that, as effective as a book on technique may be, it can never totally replace the value of live instruction/coaching. This book would be a great companion to taking a mogul camp (Mogul Logic, Momentum, etc.), or a live mogul lesson with DiPiro or another mogul pro. <br /> <br />I would also personally advise following up your reading of this book by watching Chuck Martin's mogul skiing lessons on YouTube (search "mogul logic chuck") . Those, along with this book, will help you take your skiing to another level. <br /> <br />What it comes down to is this: each skier must synthesize and formulate his own style, by learning as much as he can from multiple schools of thought. He must take from these, and develop his own style which is comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and most fun! "Everything the Instructors Never Told You about Mogul Skiing" should reside on the nightstand of any skier interested in moguls. <br /> <br />As a sidenote, this book was a big catalyst in my decision to develop mogulskiing (dot) net. Thanks for your hard work, Dan! <br /> <br />Keep on bumpin. <br /> <br />~Patrick <br /> <br />Director, [...] (note to Amazon editors: "[...]" is a registered business entity (a division of Patrick Torsell Enterprises), not just a URL... please stop deleting it) Rating: 5 / 5 DiPiro’s breakdown of mogul technique in “Everything the Instructors Never Told You about Mogul Skiing” is a great resource for mogul skiers, beginner to expert.

My bump skiing friends taught me how to ski moguls but this book put all the pieces together. What my mogul skiing friends where teaching me were parts and pieces of the puzzle. I only wish I had this book 10 years ago when I was single and skied way more than I do now. I ran across this book when I was looking up mogul skiing on line. When I read about it I bought it right away and glad I did. Now its all I do on the slopes is practice the drills and bash the bumps. I don't know the author but glad he wrote this book. Thanks Dan! Oh, and I'm doing the zipper line where as before reading this book I could only go about 6-8 bumps until I get kicked out the back the door.

I highly recommend this book to any level of skier who's interested in increasing his bump skiing ability.
