Great shot of the deer! But those bumps don't look seeded. ;-)

No, it was pic of the day on the website.

On a bit of a tangent, but at Magic on Sunday I saw something that looked almost exactly like a ferret scamper across the trail under the lift - some kind of weasel or something?

Did it look like this...

 

[Jisch]

No, smaller - that's a fisher cat right?

You are correct.

I see them fairly often there. Its a mink of some sort.

Hey did you happen to see the little black mouse on Red line Sunday?? IT was all over the place around pole 15 or 16. I inadvertantly ran one over on Tali a couple of weeks back.

Well that oculd make the troughs a little less boney:-o lmao




Cool picture.

Edit - just looked up a mink and I think that's what it was:

 

[powhunter]

A weasel would be white in the winter no??

Couldnt tell you but I did see a white one a couple of years ago. I thought it was some kind of albino mink. I guess it was a weasel.

These deer are obviously AZ members that were motivated by all the bump love to venture back to moguls after many years away...

Anyone else think those are some bizarre looking bumps? :blink:

You’re right and here’s why. They blew a ton of snow on there this season. There were huge whales going down the middle top to bottom. In a perfect world you’d let them drain, then groom them out and then let the bumps form naturally.

There is a pipe with attachment for the wench cats on top of Look Out Below, but the trail is so steep that there is still some concern for the safety of the drivers. So WF lets them just get skied in. With the variety of skier levels that go down it, that is the result.
It’s still fun though.
