Hey Lowell I noticed that too. They have to be manmade. In my opinion mogul competition has become too regimented. Reminds me of a runaway sewing machine with a few correographed Jack-in-the Musicbox jumps. All skiing the same line with no spontenaity. Not that these guys aren't fantastic atheletes and technicians. But it ain't like the old days, when huge air, flips, use of the whole width of the run, natural terrain variations and mogul sizes, mix of turn radius and speeds or a high speed traverse to get to that undetected launching point, even an occasional non aerial stunt thrown in. It was much more of a crowd pleasing event back then with truely fantastic performances, though maybe not as technically controlled....thats an understatement.
Those moguls Gordy mentioned were in Germany in 1976 and were much steeper & higher, more like buried Volkswagons. You rarely skied over them...... more through/around them. And they were built by the German Army.
I was also wondering if Alexandre was a relative of Brian Bilodaeu who was a contemporary of your bro on the Freestyle circuit back then.
Must be bad skiing, here we are discussing mogul skiing on a BC site.
