The best stashes of sparkly, untouched powder are often protected by monster mogul runs that seemingly serve to turn away the faint-hearted. For experts, the line through the bumps can be a fun place to jam and hone their all-mountain skills. An intermediate rider, however, may find these routes to be nothing more than torture. A great way to structure a lesson for this purpose is to focus on stance options. By stance options, I mean the rider's posture on his or her board, not the specific positions and stance angles at which the bindings are set.
Many sports require a low, aggressive stance.
Whether you are preparing for a return of a serve in tennis or descending a rocky singletrack on a mountain bike, a low, aggressive posture serves as a foundation for a wide range of dynamic movements. Likewise with snowboarding, taking a low, aggressive posture is key for riding moguls, allowing for a full range of active absorption that will smooth out the run. Imagine a car driving over a speed bump. Seldom does the car roll smoothly over the bump. To lessen the bounce, some people try to drive very slowly over the bump.
