I might be down for a May Day bump off on Superstar.

I think I'm going to just hang up the skis for the season after this Sunday. Doesn't look like there is going to be much of a mogul scene with the slalom event at the Big K on May 1 unfortunately. Gonna go out on a mogul high note at the Bush on Sunday. Then it's full on MTB season.

Don't hang them up so soon! At least check out the reports after this weekend. Hot spring conditions will surely bring the bumps back up again at K. I'll be there on that weekend some time for my last lift serviced day for sure unless it is bad weather (heck, maybe even if it is bad weather :lol: ).

We'll see man. I'm counting on sick mush moguls this weekend and that would be going out on a high note. If the slalom on May Day is on Superstar, that pretty much takes it out of play for good bumps. Doubt they'll run the K1 that day. Word is the Canyon run out probably won't make it till May. That leaves what? Skyeburst? Ain't gonna be any bumps there. I'm already into MTB mode anyway so this season ending is going to be cake to swallow.

The May Day Fun Slalom is usually on skiers right on the top half of middle superstar. There's never any bumps there as it's too flat ( I usually GS the middle part just to get through it). There will probably be two-three groomers wide swath on lower superstar hopefully leaving a few good lines. Lower Skyelark will be bumped until it isn't melts out and isn't skiable, which will probably be Sunday. Looks like they still have that remaining snow where the pond skimming was. If they break that down and spread it out that will make the runout functionable. Maybe we'll have seasonable temps next week and they'll have more snow to farm around to make that runout work for the last two days
Skyeburst has been closed since April 6

Skye-whatever. I guess I meant 'lark. I'll wait and see what the reports show next week.

If you want the sick mush moguls hit the Loaf the first weekend of May. Last year was good on Skidder and Hayburner. Should be good this year too.
