Go....

you first. seriously, i just made a post in the pow/bumps thread about just this sort of thing.


I'll do this in relation to what i consider overall recreational skier skills. to do it in relation to pro skiers or pro ball players would be rather useless as we might all rate somewhere around 1.

Bumps 7.5
Pow 4
General athletic ability 6

from Greg...
I think this season I'm in pretty good shape. Lots of mountain biking this summer which was more activity than I've done in the off season in many many years. Once I built a bit of wind, I would look forward to big climbs because I knew it was building some stamina and leg strength. The primary reason I started mountain biking was to stay in shape. Luckily it was a fun thing to do or I would have tired of it quickly. I have seen a difference when skiing, not dramatic but some. I was lapping bumps for 6 hours on Sunday. I could never have done that on my second extended ski day in past seasons. I'm very fortunate too in that I have a naturally high metabolism. Battling excess weight is never an issue for me, and I can usually maintain a high energy level most of the day.

As far as skiing ability, overall I'd call myself an advanced skier. I do okay in bumps. Still a long way to go to get to where I want to be. Not really even sure what that is. I guess an all around very good recreational skier. I think I do pretty good on mellow to moderately pitched bumps, but still flail on steeper bumps. I hope to ski and progress a lot this year and having a practice area at Sundown right in my backyard should help.

When compared to the overall recreational skier, I would put your bump skill more at a 7 or 8. In other words, if I selected 10 random skiers, I would bet in most cases you would be in the top 2 or 3 in terms of bump skill. Remember, bumps just aren't as popular as they once were. Most recreational skiers avoid them.

Me:

Bumps - 6
Powder - 5
GAA - 6
