Hot-dog skiing was the original name of what has now become known as freestyle skiing which covers acrobatic jumping, half pipes and somewhat loosely disciplines such as ski ballet. Herringbone is the stance you adopt in cross country skiing. There are two forms of XC skiing, classic and skating, which are never mixed in events except double pursuit races. Herringbone is the technique adopted in the skating XC style. Moguls are the piles of snow which are left on runs after enough skiers have eroded or carried away the snow around them. Mogul skiing is an Alpine event that combines the technical challenge of navigating moguls at speed with the artistic form of 1 or 2 freestyle jumps during the descent. Telemark is a technically demanding form of free heel skiing, which many believe to be the oldest and most graceful style of skiing. It is along with all the derivitives of XC skiing and ski jumping a Nordic skiing discipline. Ski jumpers use telemark skis, i.e. they have free heel bindings and land using t-mark or telemark landings, but they do not ski in a telemark style which is distinctively different from the alpine and cross country styles and is most suited to backcountry (off piste cross country) skiing.
