Complaining about skiing in CT.....is this a thing now?

[MadMadWorld]

What's so terrible about them? They are a couple of days old, in a few more days troughs will form, before you know it they will be VWs. I know they look funny at first, but they do end up being quite fun. If you won't take my word for it then consider that every spring we get a whole entourage of bump skiers from Killington and other places to come down to ski in our little bump competition. Everyone always has a ton of fun, despite being at a small hill in CT. The only complaint I've heard is that our course is too long. Those bumps, although on a different trail, start off looking just like those in the picture.

I'll take your word for it. I don't claim to be someone that knows a lot about bumps. I know how they form it just doesn't look like there is enough snow to form some decent bumps without scraping things down to dirt or ice. Hopefully it sees some snowmaking or natural stuff because it just doesn't look like there is enough to get any good looking lines.

I don't think so.. But it is kinda peculiar that I hadn't noticed HS around until snowlover got banned... :lol:

Hes banned? There is a God! Don't think Highwaystar could pull off the snowlover persona lol. Speaking of alter egos I was thinking that the 4wheel jeep guy ( cant remember the handle) was snow lover talking to himself

Purely coincidence, I hadn't read much of the board in a few weeks, and today found his posts amusing particularly due to their misguided nature. He is quite an effective troll!

He's actually on time out. So, he can come back after that if he wants to play nice.

Disagree. There is NO place in ct that I would overnight it at. Okemo has awesome slopeside accommodations. Stop hatein'!!

There's actually a deceptive amount of snow there. It won't be down to dirt/rocks anytime soon. Some parts of hard pack may need some warm days to work in. If needed they top coat them with snowmaking (they continuously move the guns around all night to keep it from forming whales). Some doses of natural snow would be preferable though!

What the hell is that crap? Are those supposed to be seeded moguls. I get what they are trying to do buts that's terrible.

Are you interviewing to be the new Snowlover?

Haha I guess my comments were a bit Snowlover-ish!

Well best of luck. I have to make it down there sometime.

In support of this theory, snowlover has bashed pretty much everything EXCEPT Killington!

the ones who say that do not know their ass from their elbow.

Nice looking bumps if you ask me!

Agreed. Looks like good low angle stuff.

Good forecast. Hopefully snow for every hill in North East we need it bad.

I'm thinking about making a week of it when they seed Gunbarrel. Just need to find a better place to stay that than whatever holdiay inn I stayed at in Torrington last time around.
