Which bump run would you rather ski?

gorgonzola · Aug 28, 2008, 8:14 AM

#2, I'm not a purist in any sense so I like navigating the steeps/bumps/trees/rocks and taking in the scenery more than running straight zipper lines

The second one looks more interesting to me.

maybe and definitely no ..

If I had a choice, I would take #2. I often ski stuff like #1 so I have the skillset to ski stuff like #2 as best as I can.

I would take option two if I was going to ski one of these runs a couple times but if I was going to lap one of them all day I'd chose one. How bout you?

These are not my pictures.

Photo one is from Grouse Mountain at Beaver Creek.

On the far left side of the photo is the side-country where I got caught in a slide and sent over a cliff. Busted my thumb and lost my ski.

I beleive photo 2 is from Jackson hole.

2, no question. 1 looks kinda weak.

.

How difficult was the climb out and how big the cliff? Never been caught in a slide and hope to keep it that way.
