Lame attempt at seeded moguls

Cornhead · Feb 19, 2015

Skied Greek Peak on Sunday, at the very top of Iliad were some strange looking man made bumps. A friend at the bar said they used garbage cans to form them, think sand pail on the beach. I didn't ski them, looks more like an obstacle course than a bump run. I guess I give them an E for effort. The trail between the "bumps" and the edge of the trail skied great, as well as the natural bumps bellow the obstacle course.

haha, seems like a lot more work than just letting people ski the fresh snow!

Lame? I'm gonna try that in my back yard next time we get some snow!

It looks like those things would be huge if they get skied in. At least they are making an effort!!

Post up another pic of this trail in a week or so if the bumps remain - I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Maybe someone from Ski Sundown can teach them how to do the seeding!!!

I've seen this done before. If the spacing is right and they get skier traffic, it will probably work out ok.

It appears they do a good job most of the time but someone posted some seeded bumps from last year and they were not good. I got flamed for it and they got flattened within a week.

Those would turn into some ridiculous bumps bit I doubt they will fill in this time of year

Does look very strange

OK, I'll be there freezing my ass off tomorrow. It seems like you can only ski between the bumps, so I don't know if they'll change much. I really don't know why they bothered, the natural bumps below these were sublime.

Ruin a good thing!!!!!

Yup they are too far apart! More like obstacles!

I'm thinking that the person who seeded that is not a skier or boarder. :roll:

I think if you get some poseur snowboarders to huck them it will eventually level out, hopefully before someone else gets sued....oh and someone gets injured

Well, despite the lure of a funded early retirement, I did not ski the obstacle course today. With my luck I'd miss a turn and slam into one of the "bumps". Again, the bumps below the " bumps" were fantastic, soft with zero ice, edgeable everywhere, hero bumps, my favorite. They look about the same as last weekend, I guess no boarders have been jumping off them.
