haven't heard that name in a while

Peregrin is the trail, Birds of Prey is the lift and the name of the downhill. But yes, bumped up except for the headwall that's scrapped off by everyone having to check it out.

You're probably talking about Grouse Peak. Steep and bumped up most of the time. The summit of BC is actually pretty flat and gets steeper further down. My only criticism of BC is that it's mostly green or black trails and not much in between.

Ripsticks are supposed to be really nice. But they are asymmetrical and have a left and right.

I've got the Mindbender 90ti (just the previous version of the 89) and they are a perfect all round new england ski. I ski them in a 184 and I'm 5'9". I might pick something more carving oriented if all you want to do is ski groomers, but the mindbender will be great if you ski some light powder...
