Skiing - Moguls - Women's Tickets

Women's Moguls Olympic Preview If you thought skiing down a normal course was difficult, wait until you hear about the sport known as moguls skiing.

Moguls skiing has an added element of difficulty as mounds of snow are pushing together to form small bumps or "moguls" that skiers must navigate their way through.

The moguls only get more difficult to navigate as more skiers make their way through the course, as it makes the mounds larger.

To make things just a little more difficult, the skiers must perform various tricks as they make their way through this tough course.

Some of the tricks that must be performed as skiers make their way down the course include a 360 X, a twister spread, a Daffy, a front-flip and a back-flip.

The sport first began competition in 1971 but did not become a medal sport at the Winter Olympics until 1992. It was a demonstration sport at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary.

Kari Traa is one of the most highly regarded women's moguls skiers, having won the 2002 gold, 2006 silver and 1998 bronze medals at those respective Olympic Games.

It remains to be seen whether she has another Olympics in her, but I'm sure Norway would love to see her return one more time and go for another medal in Vancouver.
