Now we're going to try a few bumps linked together, so instead of side slipping to a halt in the dip, keep up some forward momentum by pointing the skis more down the hill. You should almost come to a stop on the bump before dropping over it. Remember the pole plant. Gauge your speed, and use the dip with the snow in it to brake you before the next pole plant. You will have to keep a very close look at the ground; anticipate the braking trough, and the accelerating downside, and move your weight slightly backwards for the dip and slightly forwards for the downside.

This weight shift backwards and forwards needs some explanation. You will recall that as a general rule the weight should remain over the middle of your foot. Well it actually should stay over the middle of your foot, but as the gradient is continually changing, there will be an apparent shift of weight all the time. Well something like that. The main thing is to anticipate the change in gradient. It
