I don't think you're going to have to twist Grassi's arm too much...

I'm all about it. The bumps might not be fully massaged at this point but they are also not VW sized nor do they have deep troughs. Tomorrow will be a good test of the Nordicas in the bumps.
Assuming that they look anything like they did last night you'll have NO problems in there. They were pretty good for getting your feet wet last night...

Agreed. And if you keep at it, you will develop skill and confidence while actual moguls take shape. Better approach than waiting until they get all fun and gnarley.
Yes, exactly. That just means that you need to get out every week, at least, to keep up the bump progression...

At least is right. They went from funky little seeds to big gnarley bumps in one week last year. A few nights of dusting and they will change dramatically.
Very interesting vid:
You got that, B!
I love that dry land training course he carved out of the hill.
Yeah, that's pretty gnarly!
Nice Job Guys!! Hope to get up there a few times this season. BTW how did you all like your bump skis?
So far I'm very impressed with them. Either they are good or I actually improved since the beginning of last year. Maybe a combination of both...

I love mine! Quick and light. I tried to take a pretty aggressive line into these pseudo-moguls and they responded well to slamming them like that. If you get caught up in the chunks on a bump that isn't skied in yet though......holy moly! :blink: Gotta keep them locked together to form a single stable platform. They don't respond too well if you break your stance.
That was my problem at Mt snow...I have to get some time in on those things.

Damn I am kicking myself for not going. Nice work everyone.
I wish I could tell you that it sucked, but it didn't. You missed a fun night. There were even a few kickers to play on that you probably would have enjoyed...
