Agree.
Remember: the OP stated he is competent in black and blue moguls. We haven't seen them ski so we only have their word for it. Skiing 20-30 degree slope mogul runs cut by good mogul skiers with lots of line choices is a different kettle of fish than a 50+ degree slope with chaotic Volkswagen sized bumps. Same technique maybe, but different tactics. A lot of skiing the latter is about confidence in that terrain. Perfect practice always makes perfect.
and @Matt Merritt
"Regular bumps allow for multiple turning options. At any time the slier can choose between sliding down the backside, staying in the middle of the trough, or banking on the outside.
Monster, chaotic bumps such as @mdf perfectly displayed above, require the skier to ride the trough all the way around. Trying to scrub speed earlier will result in a turn directly into the near-vertical part of the bump. There's no option but to give it up to gravity until finally coming to the next fluffy flat spot. As mdf's photos show, almost every bump has a nice spot for a speed-killing hockey stop; you just need the confidence to keep your butterflies in check until you get there.
Keeping a good body position is necessary in nice bumps; in the really tough ones it's absolutely critical that the skier doesn't succumb to those natural - but disasterous - defensive upper body movements that we all know so well."
@Scruffy and @Matt Merritt nailed it- I am not talking about moguls on a 20 -30 degree pitch, but moguls with high walls, that form on 40+ degree slope, with deep troughs. I am looking for a tactic here on a specific mogul formation as typically found, on a steep western slopes of 40+ degree slopes. I typically ski east coast and I am familiar with Killington's terrain and hunter mountain's K27.
So far what I have heard is ski the toughs, and stay off the spines( where sidewalls are high -if you go too far up the spine, you will end up on the highest and sheerest sidewall drop into the trough - as in drop rather than slip or skid) , check speed on flattest part of spine before trough entry. Practice by starting off on flat part of mogul, steer into the trough, and strive for continuing the decent, by taking 2 consecutive moguls troughs, before stopping, then try for three, then 4, etc, until a comfort zone is reached.
And I think that those folks, who mentioned mileage in these type of moguls are spot on. I also agree that profciency on less difficult terrain is necessary before moving on to more difficult terrain.
