A message from KFBS Principal Yugo Tsukuda
Moguls involve skiing at high speeds and making straight turns, which at first glance may seem like a very intense sport, but in reality, it uses basic skiing techniques that put less strain on the body. The
same basic techniques are used for both straight skiing and carving-like skiing, and these basic techniques are common to all types of skiing, whether basic skiing or moguls, and
can be practiced on flat ground. At our school, we offer a method for transitioning to mogul skiing after checking your technique on flat ground. We created the Kandatsu Fusion Bump School with the hope of teaching many skiers basic techniques and how to ski moguls safely and easily.
