 | What were bump conditions like this weekend? And for the upcoming weekend too... Had a free place to stay at Stratton this weekend. Though it is in their nature to mow bumps somewhat frequently, I believe they actually had good cause to do so after the icing they got last week. Roped-off sections of yet-to-be mowed bumps looked nasty/unskiable, as did the rest of the non-groomed portions of trails/woods/under-lift-open areas. I ventured into the woods once and it was NASTY. In any event, did anyone else ski bumps this weekend? Esp. in central/southern VT? Any suggestions for next weekend? Who is going to have the goods (moguls)? I know Mt. Snow said they weren't mowing theirs...which leads me to wonder what is going to happen to such trails that received a inch+ ice coating. Will they just soften with sun exposure and eventually become skiable? What happens if it snows again? I WANT TO SKI BUMPS, DAMMIT!!!!   <feels like a little kid for asking so many questions> |

| Honestly, from what I'm hearing, the best bumps in New England right now very well might be at Ski Sundown in CT. I'm sure Sugarbush north also has the goods

  | You have to wait until we get into a good corn cycle. Aim for a 50 degree and sunny day. Hunter and Belleayre should have good bumps in the Catskills, as will Mount Snow and some seeded bumps at Okemo, I'd imagine. Sundown reopens Friday. Still good bumps, but short vert. |

| The Balsmas had no moguls, just lots of powder and Sunday River had all of the mogul runs roped off due to dangerously icy conditions with the exception of Agony which was half groomed half crusty moguls. The upcoming weather forecast this week does not look great for softening conditions up north. Based on the current forecast we will probably ski at Sundown on sunday and that will be all for this week.

| Sugarbush on Saturday 3/22 had powder bumps in some places that had been wind packed and ice bumps where there were ice bumps. Castlerock softened around noon for some corn in the troughs. I can't wait for spring corn. |

| Bump run at Gunstock this weekend was closed off too, and easy bump trail was groomed down. My daughter is interested in doing bumps but spring condition is just not happening for those late March weekends  . I'm hoping to take her to Raggae Glades at Ragged when it is open. It looks warm enough coming mid week but looks like cooling down toward the weekend again???? Maybe need to take this  to the slope. |
