Bump Lovin Deer

[bvibert]

Anyone else think those are some bizarre looking bumps? :blink:

They do look funky, but fun.

It’s still fun though.

Oh, I'm sure it is. It looks like it has more of that rollercoaster type feel to it. Nothing wrong with that in the least.

One on the left is hitting the fall line..One on the right is a puss..hes bailing

That's classic. :lol: I was going to say the one on the right could be a Camelback snow boarder hitting the mogul face sideways making for funky lines.

Speaking of wildlife on the snow reminds me of the time I almost nailed some type of rodent in a mogul field at Dartmouth Skiways. My daughter who was quite young at the time wouldn't speak to me for a week. I never saw the critter.

On a bit of a tangent, but at Magic on Sunday I saw something that looked almost exactly like a ferret scamper across the trail under the lift - some kind of weasel or something?

Those little weasels are weasels. They are Ermine weasels.

They are often seen at Sugarbush as well.

Thanks Vonski. That explains the white one I saw with the dak tail tipbut what what about one that has dark fur in the winter? Is that another weasel or a mink? Any clue?

Those are the albino ones, they turn dark in the winter.:-o Not really sure the ones I have seen are pretty much white but who knows maybe some get whiter than others. Or change based on the elevation and amount of snow fall.

Several of us saw it a month ago under the lift at Magic. Probably about the same place - 1/4 of the way up?) It's a weasel. Turns white in the winter. It has black on the very tip of it's tail. Probably about 1.5 to 2 feet long, pretty skinny guy.

Great shot of the deer! But those bumps don't look seeded. ;-)

The bane of dynamic linking - no deer today!
