Mogul thing is a fun little run - but definitely a joke.

Jiminy makes a lot of snow, has excellent lifts, and is always dependable. Unfortunately, it's about exciting as watching paint dry with all of the straight-down the fall line boulevards. It certainly skis like the Okemo of Massachusetts, minus the bumps.

There are some fun runs - I think Wild Turkey is great, same for the Foxes, and Ace of Spades - but that's about it. Upper Liftline is great, but they haven't trimmed the shrubs in the past 10 years and they don't even open it when there is enough snow. I am not sure why they ruined the gladed area that used to be called Riptide and turned into a full trail, that was ridiculous. Like they need any more identical runs packed in...

I did see they added snowmaking and lights to John Hancock, which is certainly interesting.

Greg, Whirlaway has no lights so thats out. Lower Exhibition would be a great run for seeded bumps, it's wide so they could do half the run no problem.
