Whoa, did I miss something in the T&E forum? If it is this Sunday, I am there! I know that was not directed at me, but I figured I would chime in.

I already called you out in that thread. Glad you can make it.

I'm not saying I don't enjoy "[un]clean" lines. In fact, I said the opposite with respect to Castlerock. When other options are open, though, I do generally avoid Steins, not only because I think the bumps are often a mess, but also because I don't think the snow is generally as good as its natural neighbor (the Mall) or the trails elsewhere on the mountain, and further, it's one of those wide supertrails that I don't particularly care for. The same things apply to Ripcord -- not as good snow, superwide slash in the mountain.

I don't even consider "GS bumps" to be bumps so I threw that off the table for my response.

"GS bumps" really are just a mess resulting from overgrooming in the spring..

Sorry, wasn't sure. Just figured I'd say my piece anyways :) Hopefully I'll be getting to ski some of those trails I normally skip (Steins, Ripcord) this Sunday!
