No... :lol:
They both got a little shy. I did mention that Sundown has great bumps. Not sure if that'll make it in or not...
Damn, that would have been awesome!
I'm gonna have to watch the news tonight now...
probably???? i dont even need to see the footage to guarantee that one bro. :razz:
When I was leaving last night I heard some dude on the phone bitching about all the bumps, "there is just too many bumps."

Not everyone's definition of a great ski day is fully bumped up terrain. It's great that you radical dudes can ski that and love it... but some of us are gapers. What can I say? I stayed home.
Fair enough. It just seems like the "occasional skiers" that get drawn to the hill during a storm don't realize the groomers aren't cruising the hill on hourly intervals during a powder day. You on the other hand knew what to expect and managed your expectations.
I call dibs on Fluffy!
Heard some griping about the lack of groomed options during the day (not griping about bumps, but chowdah, or even fresh)....I can see how the casual skier might not love a day like that due to the heavy snow. I know it was a kiddie snow day and all, but it was not a day for the casual skier. If you don't ski regularly, I don't know why you would spend an unexpected day off driving on a day like that to ski on a day like that. Go sledding...it was a perfect day for that. Wait for a nice bluebird day to ski...there will be plenty of groomed.
Looking back though, seems like when I learned to ski every day ended with about every run bumped up... unless it was a lame snow period.....Every major route down Mt. Snow that saw any type of traffic during the day was bumped in the late 70's early 80's- Ehibition, south bowl/sundance, choke/standard, snowdance, even the steeper sections (lol) of Long John. Sunbook was the same-- moonwalk, coldbrook and bear trap, and the NF, well, you know, all bumped.

and if he'd been there in the AM he'd have been whining that he couldn't make turns in all that powder.

BTW, the bottom Nor'easter bumps still felt great (just scooted up there from Canyon). Ex was filled in at the top still, but nice lines down through the middle. A bit scratchy in spots.
