Beautiful day out there today!!! Sun was shining...Snow was soft.... IPOD was cranking!! Exibition bumps were goomed out (must have been pretty bad after the warm weather and all the traffic this weekend) Temtor bumps were skiing real good..kinda like creamy hardpack..... From the kickers down there is a good midle line, and the right line was great!!!! Did about 12 runs...and called it quits. Fine day at the institution

Sounds nice!

BTW - the ex bumps were mowed because they needed the space for a couple of events in the next week.

how come it is always the bumps that suffer.. why can't the mow down the terrain park?

I'm guessing because the reason for a course on Exhibition is so that people who can't necessarily make it down harder terrain can still compete in the events. If they put it at the bottom of Stinger then the people would need to go down Stinger to get to the course, or cut across exhibition from the Canyon flats. Neither of which is a very viable option. I agree that it stinks, especially for a hack like me who only looked good in those bumps, but sometimes those are the breaks...
