Moguls. Love 'em or hate 'em?

No comment... ;)

I don't hate em, but I suck at them so I can't say I'm quite loving em yet either. I am anxious for some to be built up at Sundown, so I can try to get better at em though...
 
Would love to love 'em.

Trying to improve, got a week at the Bush this Feb. Looking to that as my "Bump clinic" :daffy:
 
I like soft small-to-medium sized ones (Lower Clowdspin - Whiteface) or car-sized whales (Outer Limits - Killington), but mostly avoid real moguls
 
bumps suck. :wink:

I love bumps for sure but what i really love are bumps the day after a big storm. Huge, pillowy and soft. the kind that make the "whoompff whoompff" sound when you slam into them and send up big powdery explosions that get into your jacket.

Or huge soft spring bumps that let you just fly mach 1 with no fear of gettin hurt.

Or icy bumps that let you fly mach 1 with total fear of gettin hurt.

yeah i love em. big time.
 
I love them. Picking a line, trying to stay in, very technical, heart pumping excersice, something you can keep improving at, great feeling when you bang them out just the way you hoped, especially when others are watching. ;-)

yeah no doubt. picking a line is one of the things i absolutely love when you get it right. Sometimes, it takes a couple runs to identify the flat spots and quirky bumps but then, you got it all down to memory and it just takes shape for ya. Its such an awesome combination of physical and mental work.
 
Love 'em, this year. Last year they were my evil arch nemesis but I still didn't hate them.


I can't believe I could barely ski a soft hero day on a blue bump run last year and this year I was hitting moguls on Cascade at Killington in control with decent form and without a second thought.

Damn that's a good feeling.

K-mart has moguls formed, is it still open? According to Wildcat's web, they just groomed out their section.


BTW, love them
