I didn't see it mowed flat once this year. Even after crap hit, they kept 5-6 lines to skiers right untouched.

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.

I've yet to see a tele skier actually ski the fall line on O.L. Can't say anything about the places you listed.

I'll also say that there's a difference between a mogul skier and a good skier who skis moguls, a big one. At any given time, maybe 10-15% of the people on O.L. are actually bump skiers, less after powder or grooming.

Alot of good tele skiers to the north. Besides AT rigs are becoming much more common and have no disadvanteges to skiing bumps vs. regular bindings. Most bc skiers can ski bumps with 90+ mm skis-not the skinny little bumps skis that do nothing else.

I'm trying like hell here...

yeah, that can be brutal as well as potentially dangerous if your moving fast enough.

I think andys pic is from utah which probably eliminates the thin topcoat problem and the rock hard bump problem so symptomatic of the east coast.
