Best Bumps in the East?

[JD]

Who's got em?
And I'm staying out of this one...

 

[deadheadskier]

Depends

From everything I've seen, I would say Okemo has the best man made bumps. Au natural, probably MRV

 

[ozzy]

agreed.
Okemo has the best seeded bumps. To bad they lack pitch
MRG has the best spring bumps hands down.

So a web site created by a Sugarbush employee writes an article (advertisement) for their employeer about their own father. Shilling has reached a new level here...

Hold on... Do you have something against Sugarbush?

lol!


PS: No biggie... but what happened to staying out of this one!

 

[2knees]

of places i've skied and based on recent (last 2-3 years) experience

Sugarbush
Okemo
Killington (they used to OWN this one)
Mt. Snow
Sundown


Cant believe sundown makes the list, but i have to put it there for complete and total consistency. they are always there and usually fairly good.

Sorry...he pulled me in...I promise I won't comment again!
and no, I've had great days there this week. It's the self promotion against all objective logic that gets me....

The best bumps on the EC belong 2 the 19 year old chick that walks her dog by my house every evening, Gawd they have to be Double EE'S!

Bet you'd like to rip down that zipper.

See, I'll take a set of well formed soft C bumps any day over EE's

Call it how you like. Doesn't bother me. It is what it is. The website has no direct connection to Sugarbush. No sponsorship or partnership, and I run the site how I want. So what if I'm a Sugarbush employee? And just because my dad runs the hill means what I wrote is invalid? Facts are facts. The article outlines the plan. I wrote it because I could.

I'm a strong Sugarbush advocate, obviously, but I'm not afraid to point out the shortcomings and be realistic. It just so happens that Sugarbush DOES have the best moguls in the east. That opinion is based on the various areas that I have personally skied, and the opinion of plenty of mogul skiers who have skied many areas in NE.

Anyway... I'm through posting in these threads, because I obviously can't be taken seriously by folks like you. I mean, hell... I groom for Sugarbush and my dad works there... I guess that means that nothing I say could have any truth to it :roll: :angry:

 

[MrMagic]

would have to agree with the list so far

mt snow- nat
okemo - seeded
magic- nat
ski sundown - seeded
killington- nat

 

[deadheadskier]

I think Sugarloaf is worthy of inclusion in this conversation as well

I'm with BMM. Also ever ski Looking Good in the spring bumped up....very fun indeed! ME does have the best bumps. It's an opinion...you are entitled to yours....AS for the Shilling comment. Low Blow...IMO!

Okemo??? Seeded or not I don't get how Okemo gets mentioned as the best in any actual ski terrain category (maybe best slopeside condos everywhere category, and to be fair, snowmaking, of course).

Best Bumps..haven't been everywhere to say, but these are some of my favorites

There's no one run, but I'm partial to:

1. Spillsville, Sugarbush-it's short but it has great pitch, well protected snow and just forms really big, round bumps.

2. Rumble, Sugarbush: Steep, twisty, narrow and full of realy, really steep bumps.

3. National and Lookout, Stowe-both great bumpers-lookout if you like the funkier Terrain features and National for a LONG traditional bump run.

4. Vertigo-Killington. Yeah, you'd expect Outer Limits or Double Dipper, etc, I like this one better, narrower, better lines.

5. The North Face Trails, Mount Snow-So often over looked but PDF, Jaws, etc-lots of great bumpy terrain

6. Bear Trap, Mt Snow-love the short two-seater lift, love the direct southern exposure and sunlight, it's way short but forms really great bumps.

7. Lift Line, Berkshire east. Narrow, and it's natuural rocks and ledge features set up some of the nicest bumps in the business. No really, Berkshire east liftline skied from the very top (right off the lift) is the Cat's Meow.

Those are some of my favorites.

Okemo has bumps everytime i've gone. you most certainly can not say that about liftline at berkshire east or the north face which was groomed out more often then not last year.

Its all fine and good to say a place has good bumps but if they are only there 10% of the time, cant see how that would qualify.

certainly wouldnt consider rumble a bump run per se either. an awesome run with rocks, trees, stumps and bumps. but a true bump run? not really.
