Moguls are created when a piste or ski run is left un-groomed. As a result, when skiers and boarders make turns through the powder they cut up the run. Each turn cut grooves into the run and the accumulation of grooves turns them into ‘bumps’, these are known as moguls.

Moguls get bigger and bigger as they are skied more. Sometimes moguls can end up as deep as your thigh from bump to valley.
