Yep. Great ski. I love them. I was just looking at them today thinking how they've been a bit neglected. But the bumps skis are just too damn fun! Plus with the local bump runs set up, that's been my focus lately.

Well, there were some bumps skier's left that didn't get the snowmaking. Pretty slick, but still edgeable. Welcome to bump skiing in CT! Banging those icy bumps makes those days in the spring or powder bumps all the sweeter! Not to mention make you a better skier. Learn to love bumps of all shape, size, and form!

Pretty happy with it. Decent resolution and it's nice to have actual zoom. I need to learn to control the zoom a bit better, but I think the vid came out okay.

Deeper than Friday, but still navigable for you, I'd imagine. The bumps are are starting to resemble actual moguls now though. I think I would consider some of them medium sized, rather than the small bumplets we had. That effin rain. They would rock right now without that, but they actually survived pretty well.
