So is this a must have feature in a bump ski? .

Powder day today at Abasin, and to answer your question, Uh Huh!

IIRC, Skiershop in Stowe, is/will be all set up with the F17.
I [Hart] will correct me if I'm wrong, and have much more info.

Next time I promise I won't be so much of a wuss and I'll actually ski Montezuma.

It's hard to believe that a week ago, I was in CO and had spent my first day skiing at Abasin... but I'm so glad I didn't cancel my trip like I almost did at the last minute.

Next year will be even better!

Wow...never...I repeat..never cancel a ski trip for any reason..If my grandma dies the day before I leave for Jackson Hole..she'll understand that I won't be at her funeral..actually she won't know because she'll be dead...doh...

Not sure If I'd go that far, but it would take a lot for me to cancel a planned trip.

Sev, you did great on the terrain you skied. You could have done montezuma bowl but there is a bit of an illusion of steep at the top.
I planned on nailing my heli on this trip too, but there is no desire for me to spend time in the terrain park on a Powder day!!!

This trip was awesome skiing, but the social time and friendships we've gained were/are one of the truly spectacular things I'll cherish on this journey.
REALLY glad you came along!
