Killington yesterday. Somewhere in the mid 60's to maybe 70.

All of these bumps - and more - were there when we got there. They got better as the day progressed, not worse.

What trail was that first picture from? Looks like an old tee bar/ chair line??

If you're trying to demonstrate massive ignorance regarding moguls, you've earned an A+

Sheared off? Ripped in half? Torn apart?

I'm going to throw down the gauntlet and suggest you won't find 3 people in this forum that agrees with that description. Never in my 30 + years have I seen a mogul "ripped in half" on a warm spring day.

What does happen on a 64 degree day is they typically get bigger and bigger and the troughs get deeper and deeper. Now bigger doesn't always equal better. That's where the phrase "swallowed up in the moguls" comes from.

But ripped in half? Serious lol there.

I agree that moguls don't get sheered off and ripped apart by end of spring day. But that video did show suckily organized bumps lol. It's funny - must be something about bump runs under the lifts get all the bad skiers or something. Because Agony at SR had "great" bumps, as individuals lol. But I just thought the rythym of them sucked - no lines and all over the place - like the MRG vid. But go to LockeLine/Crossbow and Shockwave and they were spectacular. People see it from lift and must do it...whereas they just pass by all the other bump runs. Still dreaming about Shockwave from last weekend, primo condition.

It had been skied for years, but in the last year of ASC, they added it to the trail map so they could claim something new (without spending anything). When I was there last (about a month ago) the bumps were not much fun - more shape related than condition related.
