nether pic does its run justice.
A bump skier picks 1. a skier who can ski bumps would pick 2.

Exactly.

#1 should be groomed flat and #2 who cares ...

The responses have kind of shown that

That's because bumps are boooring

#2 would be awesome with 24" of powder on it, but the picture doesn't look like it'd be that great on that day (looks like 6 day old gnar). #1 is the way to go for pure bump skiing.

The chute in picture #2 is north facing so I'm guessing it's chalky snow which for me is really fun to ski..two seasons ago at Jackson Hole..it only snowed about 6 inches early in my trip and then was dry and all the north facing terrain was just so nice..Aside from pure powder..chalky bumps and steeps are the bomb deezy..makes my hungover ass drool just thinking about it..

yup. one more voice to the chorus. also #2 looks like it might have some forced choke points that probably get pretty hammered and scraped. i'd pick #1 if all i really wanted was to ski a good bump run or work on technique. i'd pick #2 just because i like that shit. more challenging & interesting.
