| sundown 2/13 Date(s) Skied: 2/13 Resort or Ski Area: sundown Conditions: cement bumps Trip Report: i'll make this quick as i feel weird putting this above a trip to colorado. Noreaster is rock rock rock solid. If you hit those bumps with a sledge hammer, you wouldnt make a dent. I can understand why they are looking to mow em and start over. Got about 15 runs in, but honestly, they are so very setup it was getting painful to carry any real speed. I couldnt figure out at first why the bottom line hurt like hell. Each trough was like jumping off your car roof onto the driveway with no shoes. I finally stopped and looked at it. The backsides have no snow and complete ice showing. Actually, not ice, but like ice cubes. weird shit. i've never seen anything like it. |

  |  Well, it's comforting to know the bumps were that bad so it probably makes sense to mow them down and start over anyway. Doesn't quite look like they are going to get the 1' top coat of natural snow today however...    |

| I actually didn't think the bumps were that much different than the last time I skied them. I was able to handle them pretty well last night. I did bump my knuckle on the back side of one of the ice moguls at the bottom, so I know what Pat means. The bottom section of the Ex bumps is in even worse shape then that last time I was there though. I hope they did some work on those too. Hopefully it changes back to snow today sooner than later and we get good cover over night tonight... One thing that's good about the weather is that it made it easier for me to head into work and not to the slopes instead...  |

I agree they were almost exactly the same in size, shape, line consistency etc. But they are set up completely and totally. there is no give whatsoever to them. Honestly, they need to blow some serious snow on them. I dont think they really need to mow em down, as what is there is a solid start but even just a top coat wont cure what ails them. they need to be buried. | |
