This is Chuck on Stacked Stance

Chuck shows a great stance for bumps. 
It is not anything much different from a good piste stance. 

Feet
However, the feet need to be closer together than for carving.  Bumps skiing isn't about big edge angles.  So you can keep 'em closer together. 
He explains how the Stack works for bumps.  Look in head-on view at how he uses inclination in his bumps skiing, and see how the knees flex laterally in response to a countering movement of both hipjoints, whilst the hands stay forward of the shoulders all the time, and the shoulders face down the line all the time.  The lower back movement is very important.  It's like a swivel.
Look at the hips: Would you say the hips were horizontal, or are they tilting?
