the CLITs are so lucky

You sound like you really know your stuff. You should put on a clinic for all of us less then 30 day a year unaddicted hacks who can only ski seeded bump lines made with laser precision. I'd sign up in a heartbeat to learn from a pro like yourself. Let me know when and where. I'll clear my schedule.

Wow! I happen to agree with SkiFanE and prefer natural bumps. Let me make it immedaitely clear, that doesn't mean I think I am better than anybody.

Drinking at work again? :razz:

I note some sarcasm. I have little experience in seeded bumps, and probably do worse in them than natural. Never said I was better skier, it's just a different kind of skiing. Half the fun is finding natural bumps and then figuring them out.

Wow, you're really on the ball today. Yeah, lets try to figure out why little places in southern new england have to make bumps to have bumps. CAUSE THE SHIT IS BULLETPROOF. But a uber pro skier like yourself should know that. You could take the top 50 bumpers in the world and have them ski the same 5 foot wide section for 8 hours and you'd be lucky if you ended up with ruts. And the whole seeded vs natural thing is for gapers. Bumps are bumps, people who say "i like the natural rythm of unseeded moguls because its fun to pick a line" or whatever other garbage they come up with say that because they wouldnt know a line if it came up and bit them in the ass.

Seeded or unseeded, when I see bumps I groom them out with my snowboard. Works great!

Are you honestly saying there is zero difference between skiing seeded and natural bumps, and that anyone who feels there is a difference is arrogant and a crappy skier?

Ah mogul talk on a hot humid July day. I love it.(almost as refreshing as the swim I'm gonna take later) Blue Mt does a nice job with their seeded bumps. I'm sure I'll be bashing away at Camelback management about their's all season long.:smash: I personally don't care if they are seeded or natural. Seeded tend to be better down here where we don't get the benefit of refresher snows. All I know is I continue to train (workout) all summer long with the thought of bump skiing in my head.

Seeded, unseeded, doesn't matter, they both require the same skill set.

Truthfully, great natural bumps will ski the exact same as great seeded bumps. That's the whole reason ski areas have gone to seeding. To mimic great natural bumps. That is of course if your preference is for zipper lines. Though, I don't think I've ever met someone who said, "you know, I wish these bumps were a bit more erratic, they're making me ski in too much of a rhythm."

Most bump fanatics say Mary Jane, CO has the best bumps in the country. Pretty much every video I've seen of them, the lines are perfect.......like they were seeded.

I'm saying anyone who cares about how they are made probably doesnt really care for bumps in the first place.

 

[bvibert]

I like skiing bumps. Seeded or natural, it doesn't matter to me, I'm equally pathetic in either. I've skied a lot of seeded bumps in the last few years, but I've never skied a symmetrical course like most people associate with 'seeded bumps'.

Please...I'd spend 100% of my time in bumps, and any day I'd choose natural over seeded. If I had no choice, I'd choose seeded over groomer. I've been to WaWa after natural snowfall, and think it's sad they groom to place to shit and leave one small area of seeded bumps for bump lovers. I ski SR, it's groomerville, but I can always find a place with bumps...even if it means groomer dust on sides of trail after 12pm...I'll take it.

Nevermind.

The Institution will open shortly. Until then:

Don't mind 2knees. Some one pissed in his Wheaties this morning.

You're wrong, though, if you think seeded bumps are all symmetrical.

nah, just read some stuff somewhere else from fannyski and thought i'd have some fun here. go back to the regularly scheduled programming now.

I'll take your word for it, since I don't ski them much. But I'll give them a whirl next year..my 11-12 goal lol.

Which is... my severe offense at the acronym CLITs?

nope,

I'm guessing your and many others overall trash talking on another forum against the people of this forum. How many times a year they ski, where they ski, where they don't ski, what they do for work, Gaper this, tool that, how lame they think the conversations are on Alpinezone. It's a big ole party of folks talking smack about many of the members of this forum.

but hey, if that's your thing........Andyzee has an app for that

Ah, it's all making sense now.

It's getting to a point where once they make statements that seeded bumps are symmetrical (without the right qualifiers) is telling me that they don't spend alot of time in them. I should probably leave it at that.
