I have some recon mission photos from a Diva who was at the Loaf yesterday! Misery Whip:
Looking uphill from roughly mid-run:
ry%3D400


Looking downhill to end of run:
ry%3D400


Entrance to this run was seriously "obscured." Entrance to it is TINY. Had to ski adjacent run to mid-point in order to find a way to get in and take the pics. (Nope, didn't ski it, hiked back out!)

Another bump run currently "unmowed" - much wider, usually groomed (Spillway) - all natural, not seeded:
ry%3D400


Seriously steep bumps. Upper section of Winter's Way, as seen from Spillway cross-cut:
ry%3D400
:D

I will be there. I am gonna be at Saddleback Friday, and will join up with you guys for the apres Saturday and Skiing Sunday. I have a commitment all day Saturday that will prevent me from being there during the day. Looking forward to it and to meeting all of you!

Still think it's an odd choice for a bump comp. Where are the spectators going to watch? Are they going to put any kickers in?
Seems like Spillway as shown in her photos might work better for spectators, but what do I know? Won't be there for that part of the trip, that's for sure!

Skidder is the trail they use for most bump comps:

I'm officially in as I got my reservation today. I'll be at Saddleback on Friday also. Driving up from Portsmouth, NH early Friday a.m. I'm really looking forward to this trip!

I got a studio at Sugartree for 3 of us & got the $157 per person price. Any group with only 3 members (who can't find a fourth) should ask about a studio when you call.

Let's hope the Loaf misses all this rain & crappy weather. I hope we have great conditions that weekend but even if we don't, it's gonna be a blast!

if my plans for Stowe fall apart, I'll show up. Reports are the skiing at Stowe has not been too pleasureable, with a shallow base and thaw-freeze cycles leaving things pretty crusty.

I'm assuming I can find a group to bunk up with?
