Serious terrain like
Tuckerman's???
35-40 degrees???
I've skied terrain that makes that sound like child's play. Oh wait... that's because it is!
Um, I've skied sustained pitches of 45-55 degrees, with cliff bands, big rocks, nasty trees, etc. I'd rather ski it without moguls, personally. But it's still not even half as fun as a solid 22-35 degree bump run.
Greg... why would you say bump skiers here are arrogant? I mean... we
are the best skiers on the mountain, but that's not arrogance, it's just fact!
