Powder Bumps or Spring Bumps?

[Greg]

Which are better?

Really tough call. I love the feel of powder moguls, but usually with spring bumps, you got warm temps. Throw in some bluebird skies and I gotta give the nod to spring bumps. Plus you're not reliant on a recent storm for spring bumps.

And before the powder snobs chime in with "I'll be in the woods on a powder day", yeah, we already know where you'll be. :roll: :razz:

Powder anything. It's a rare treat for me, so that's what I like better.

I'll take either. The only bumps I don't like are the frozen solid VW's that are just down right dangerous.

before I comment can I get some clarification.

Are you referring to

Seeded Pow Bumps
Seeded Spring Bumps
Natural Pow Bumps
or
Natural Spring Bumps

I can't ski natural bumps so obviously I am referring to seeded bumps.

Duh! :dunce: :roll:

Yes.

Thanks to this forum, I find myself seeking out the bumps at the mountain this season. : spin:

well, when you get the natural bumps down, I think you'd prefer powder bumps for natural, spring bumps for seeded.

I actually feel that way :dunce: :lol:

I change my style quite a bit with Powder bumps. I like to get up in the air quite a bit and jump from line to line which natural bumps offer more opportunity for. Spring bumps I prefer a nice zipper.

Spring bumps please! I like pow bumps too, but only after other pow lines are tracked out.

Anything powder is better than anything NOT powder. So my vote is for powder bumps.

I'd go with spring bumps so slushy that they ski kinda like powder bumps.

 

[legalskier]

Love both, but spring bumps would mean we're near the end of the season, so I'll go with powder bumps. (It's so rare we get true pow bumps around here anyway....)

agreed...

Give me soft - sloppy - wet - what are we talking about again?

Pow!

Might surprise some people but...

Spring Bumps > Powder Bumps

I like bumps and I really like powder but they are not a terribly great combination, IMO.

Powder bumps-- because you can always look forward to spring bumps while you are skiing them, not usually the case with spring bumps-save for x-mas at the institution.

another vote for the powder bumps i love letting my big boards rip
