Some moguls are natural and others are accumulations of snow built up in an area where skiers frequently turn.    Moguls From an Alpine dialect word 'mugel', referring to the mound formed in a piste by the repeated turning of skis that follow the same tracks, thus carving out ruts. Steeper slopes have more pronounced moguls.
