Terrain features to help your mogul skiing #skier #skiing #japan #moguls #goodidea #skitips
In this video Tom Gellie showcases a set of purpose‑built training waves designed specifically for mogul skiing at Nakoma (also referred to as Nokoma) Resort in Japan. He credits a local builder named Ryuji for constructing the features, which provide a clear progression: skiers start on gentle, round moguls on a well‑groomed pitch, then move to slightly steeper moguls higher up the run. Gellie explains how this structured environment lets skiers break down techniques, practice fundamentals, and build confidence before tackling larger, more challenging bump runs. He advocates that ski resorts worldwide should implement similar training areas to help skiers improve and enjoy more of the mountain. He concludes with a brief personal recap of his day—no powder but fun on the bumps and groomers—and invites viewers to comment on the training features and whether they’d like to visit Nakoma Resort.
