Was considering it, but it looks like the mountain is heavily groomed. Even Annapurna which is a travesty.

Wow, some folks are hard to please!

There are no bumps because they blew a crapload of snow.

And I've seen Purna groomed out many times before...it'll bump up.

If more people came up to ski there might be a few more bump lines.

awww no bumps for da clits. since my options are limited till i get the car back at stowe im taking what i can. the thought of not riding all week had me pretty freaked out.

I'm heading up to Sugarbush mid-feb. I'll get you to Stowe if you still haven't gotten the car back at that point.

They can't blow snow on bumps, that's a new one. No reason to groom it flat after blowing snow.
Saturday 1-17-09 Eisenhower was fantastic bumps, great snow and no ice. This was the week after the mogul competition they blew snow on the bump course, we got to ski it on Saturday 1-17-09 and then they groomed it flat on Saturday night. They couldn't wait for Sunday night to groom it flat.
Are you telling me that Hunter has no bumps because we do not have the skier traffic to create the bumps. We need to keep the groomer off the hill.
I did notice this past weekend since the mountain is flat we have many more skiers doing the super power wedge straight down the mountain. Bumps could prevent this.

Just venting my frustrations:smile: Have Fun.

Weren't many bumps this past weekend either.

In fairness, they had to groom all the big piles they blew out.

I understand your frustration...I'd like more bumps too. But I can't complain that they blew a ton of snow.
