You want him to backup a post made in 2004 ?

Accountabilty has no exparation date, but I want replying to him in the first place.

Mount Snow in Vermont shows seeded moguls on intermediate and beginner trails. I, personally, like it when they groom only half the trail, leaving skiers with the option to enter and leave the mogul field at any time.

except that you have people just randomly entering from the sides without deferring to the uphill skier who has the right of way.....

they can do that from within the moguls as well...

Thats what I do so I can hop in where there is a good line then hop out.

Most ski areas (98%) that host bump competition will seed their moguls. A groomer will go out a lay the basics with a machine, and then let good bumpers ski them in. At SR, it's usually the Gould Academy freestyle team. And 99% of the time, you'll find these on White Heat. If you're looking for goods bumps, I would recommend trying to hit a ski area right after a bump competition, that's when they're usually the best. Unless, of course, it's 18 degrees out and it was 43 and rainy the day before. Can you say, "shattered patella"?

I've never seen White Heat's moguls "seeded" although I'm guessing it's been done before. However, they seed the moguls on Tempest all the time for competitions.

Also, Shawnee Peak has a trail they usually seed moguls on.

Belleayre run is usually seeded the last 1/3 skiers left. First bump field I ever went in. Years ago I went into the glade skiers left of the bumps, when I think on it, it may have been one of the first times I ventured into the trees. I had to exit the trees into the bump field to avoid death cookies the size of volleyballs. I kept it together and didn't wipe out, but it wasn't pretty.

blue mountain pa has been seeding moguls for the last 4-5 years now and have it down to a science as far as spacing. barneys/main st is usually always bumped up from the get go (although this year with the late partial opening they seeded a line on come around for opening day or soon thereafter)and soemtimes have as many as 3 trails with seeded bumps with nightmare and challenge. the nice thing about them is once they become too hard or deep they knock em down and start over. theres a good bunch of mogul skiers that pushed for this and put together a comp every year. this year theres a few jr and adult clinics and maybe even some teams will come out of it. my son is in the jr clinic/team - its awesome to see these kids into skiing the bumps!

In this video (posted by gmcunni) where are the chairs going uphill?! Where was this taken?

That's got to be the Jug at Kiliington. The old South Ridge chair only had one set of chairs going downhill. The up hill side went a different way with a turn in the middle.

Speaking of seeding trails K usually seeds sections of lower Bunny Buster, lower Skyelark, lower Vertigo, lower Outer Limits, & lower Conclusion. Don't know if they done so yet this year. Also heard they plan on seeding lower Superstar (skiers left) this season. I know they haven't even blown snow yet on lower Conclusion this year.

According to Killington's trail map, there is no South Ridge Chair. I haven't been to Killington for quite some time; is this a chair that once existed, but has now been dismantled? ( it was referred to as the "old" South Ridge chair).

Yes, South Ridge Triple is no more.

Sunapee seeds on Flying Goose, Lift Line, Upper Chipmunk and Cataract. I find it weird that they don't have any natural mogul trails and prefer to do it the hard way... Trails like Hansen Chase would be a good option for that. They left that baby ungroomed on Sunday and the multitude of lines available was incredible.
