or bumps runs that can stretch it for a while.

try doing your fast gs turns with those bumps... lets see where that gets you.

BTW, it gets interesting after a thaw to ice cycle.

You can't... I said they weren't good pictures. I wasn't judging the skiing.

powdery bumps are pretty fun cause you don't really have to make all those dumb little turns.

Funny thing is most BCers are almost always excellent bump skiers. Check out the percentage of skiers at places like MRG, Stowe, Smuggs, Jay, etc. that are into backcountry and have either AT or tele bindings ripping up bumps. Maybe not zipper line masters, but every BC skier I know is far superior to the average bump skier in moguls.

Simply put, every BC'er can bump but not every bumper can BC.
