I'm impressed with what they are doing. Let's be honest, setting up some bumps is really the only way to add some challenge to the terrain down here.

...if you can't/don't ski park or run gates.

with all her shortcomings blue does offer the complete all mountain package

Agreed. No interest, but I get the park thing.

Might eventually get into gates. Good for when the bumps are too firm. I've run NASTAR a few times and I totally get the appeal.

I agree that bumps have really added to the skiing here and have made it much better. The nice thing is seeing that Blue and Camelback are actually getting it this year. Elk has always provided good bumps and the other two are catching on. Makes for a pretty interesting trio when traveling to northern New England is not an option.

one of the best things we found last year was that on those marginal days in march where northern resorts just wont soften, down here, it all turns to spring smashed potato bumps. never mind not being able to go north, its not worth going north......:lol:

They call the Pocono's the "Banana Belt of skiing" Plenty of soft snow in March.
