Are moguls a waste of trail space?

[deadheadskier]

No not a waste of trail space---i don't ski a lot of bumps but do get the uurge every now and then so it's nice to have that option. One thing that Greek does is split a trail in half--one side moguls one side groomed. That's nice for groups to be able to ski the same trail and have verying terrain.

also nice for guys like me who are often out of shape and need to bail out for half a run :lol:

I have no data to back this up, but I would guess there are far more folks that would love some more of the terrain variety that moguls offer than you might think. Waste of trail space? There are thousands of boring groomed flat as a pancake trails in the Northeast. Bump skiers are the ones getting shafted, not groomer lovers. Believe it.

I can't speak for Wachusett specifically because I've never been there, but it's my understanding that 10th is pretty short and they groom half of it. A half trail of a couple hundred vertical feet doesn't seem like a lot of real estate to me.

Tell him how you really feel:razz:

I wish more trails were split, half groomed, half natural & bumped. It would make for much easier skiing with groups of people that have varied abilities and interests.

so true but the gondi side crusiers are such a guilty pleasure. they are one of the few places on the east coast in know i have been pushing the 70+ mark.

I'm with you on that!! I love me some Perry Merrill with a few inches of fresh on top of some stiff corduroy...had that a couple of times before the gondi side opened for the day...love that 730am quad start time...poach rimrock over to the gondi side and you've got freshies with your buds... Cliff Trail is a fun one too...Chin Clip and all of its woody treasures are my favorite on the gondi side though!
