Grading comment

From what I can tell bumps and moguls are the same thing, but maybe bumps is a bit more snowboard slangified and therefore works in my context. But many thanks to everyone

bañeras ditches

Explanation:
Students will find a variety of “Smart Terrain” features that are contoured into the teaching zones. The features are designed to guide students into a variety of natural learning progressions and limit the fear and fatigue normally associated with learning to ski or snowboard. The downhill slope of the beginner area gently leads into uphill snow ramps that keep students from gaining to much momentum. S and J shape banked turns are used to guide students into natural turning. ***Two-foot U-shaped ditches****, also known as miniature half-pipes are used to teach the basics of maneuvering through natural trail slopes.

bañeras moguls

Explanation:
Moguls

This is what I have always known them as when I have been skiing.

Mogul (skiing)

Moguls are bumps in a ski slope formed when skiers cut grooves in the snow as they execute turns.

Once formed, a mogul tends to grow, as skiers will follow similar paths around it, further deepening the surrounding grooves. Since skiing tends to be a series of linked turns, moguls form together.

In most ski resorts certain pistes are left un-pisted (un-groomed) to allow moguls to develop.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Thanks Adam, but as you can see, I posted my reply 7 minutes after you. So I didn't see your answer and mine seems more precise.
