How do you like the Atomics in the bumps? I've got the same skis, but they are a little too unwieldy for my skill level in the bumps. I'm thinking of trying some smaller more nimble skis in the bumps until I get the hang of it.

Yeah they are a little weightier than I would like in the bumps, but it's a compromise I made as I am currently on a 1-quiver setup and I wanted something versatile for the whole mountain. Overall, I like 'em, they probably aren't the best at any one thing but are pretty decent everywhere :)

It's my first season on them - Atomic Crimson Ti's, picked up in the late fall over at Suburban Sport.

Also: I cut down the video quite a bit .. I took almost 30 min of video and clipped it to that 4 minutes. Was kinda surprised that by the end the gopro was almost completely out of battery, after 2 1/2 hrs on the slopes.

They weren't too bad, a couple spots but much better than the week earlier when I went.

Frannies Folly ones were definitely icier but the gentler pitch made them manageable as well. I enjoyed the 10th ones overall.

I think you mean the bumps on Hitchcock. I've never seen bumps on Frannie's; they usually put a mini park on Frannie's.

Nice report and vid! Thanks for the heads up on the moguls..WaWa is a fine institution..Today was my first time, and had a great day..bluebird and in the high 40s..Didnt have a patriot jersey, but the ticket lady let me slide for the $21 lift ticket anyway..Almost springlike snow all over the mountain...Moguls on hitchcock and tenth started to soften up by 1 or so. Spent the rest of the day lapping the bumps..Tenth had the best bumps..Spacing was perfect...Good vibe as well!
