Faction The Mogul Ski

The Faction Mogul is built with just one thing in mind; complete and utter annihilation of the mogul fields. It’s a bred-for-purpose, competition-level, freestyle ski for those skiers who dedicate their lives to stomping moguls like you used to stomp fizzy drinks cans during Blue Peter’s big aluminium can recycling appeal (…remember that?).

The Twister combines a traditional 10 mm of camber with a high-performance sandwich wood core construction. This offers pin-perfect balance, ferocious levels of power, and a stable edge grip that will help you to choreograph stunning turn combos through the most uneven of terrain.

Hart Fusion Mogul Ski

Hart claim to produce the world’s best mogul skis. Now, we’ll admit, that confidence-filled statement might sound like the type of guff you’d hear from the guy in your local pub who’s always telling you he was once considered the “Lionel Messi of lower league football.” However, when you look at the skis themselves and discover the successful skiers who’ve used them in top-level competitions you start to see why Hart feel so strongly about their product.

Patrick Deneen, who helped to design the Hart F17 World Cup ski, was wearing these when he scooped the gold medal at the FIS Freestyle World Championship at Inawashiro, Japan in March 2009. This ski, albeit the Fusion model, was worn by gold medalist Alex Bilodeau when he won gold in the Men’s Moguls event at Sochi 2014. It was also the ski used by fellow Canadians the Dufour-Lapointe sisters when they bagged gold and silver medals in the Women’s Moguls at the same Olympics.

In terms of features, this excellent ski has an ash and beech wood core with multiple layers of carefully interwoven fibreglass mesh thrown in the mix to ensure maximum strength and flexibility in the most trying of circumstances. The ingenious sidewalls on this ski direct the skier’s energy onto the edge, allowing for the fast edge to edge movement that’s so vital when skiing moguls. The stone-ground graphite base gives them a racing ski quality that optimises pace when you’ve got a need for speed. The F17 Fusion is slightly narrower in the tip and tail.

Rossignol Experience 80

Just like with the Bono-led stadium rock band U2, the edge has an important part to play in the process of skiing moguls. Enter stage left: the Rossignol Experience 80 Xelium. This Rossignol ski is quick as a flash through the moguls, offers excellent agility, and is easy to get on an edge. Not only that but if you’re so inclined, the Experience 80 Xelium can also handle all that choppy off-piste stuff.

Featuring revolutionary Air Tip technology, a versatile blend of camber and rocker, and a centrally-focused sidewall construction; this magnificent ski from Rossignol serves up all-mountain performance across whatever terrain and snow condition you happen to be skiing across. The Auto Turn Rocker design, with its good edge grip, is powerful enough to prevent unwanted slippage without sacrificing the all-important manoeuvrability you’ll be needing when the moguls make an appearance.
