What is Mogul Skiing?

Mogul skiing is a freestyle Olympic event in which skiers race down a steep 250 m course of tightly packed bumps (moguls) with two aerial jumps built into the run. Judges score turn technique (60%), air (20%) and speed (20%). Dual moguls send two skiers down parallel courses head-to-head, with the winner advancing.
