ski911 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 So if CB has installed a pipe, rails, boxes and jumps, why not let some bumps build up on a trail? Let the top of Cliffhanger bump up (to the bottom of the steep) and just groom 1/2 when it starts to get gnarly. Dust it regularly, and bring back some old school freestylin' (minus the neon stretch pants and mullets). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier32 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 the last i was at camelback, every single one of their diamonds that i was on had natural bumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Blue took away Sidewinder, one of the greatest trails at Blue for doing some serious ripping around tight turns, and turned it into a terrain park. In return for the skiers, they widened mainstreet for a dedicated Bump Run (Barney's Bumps). How about that for commitment? I think CB could do it, and should, on one of the front four, leave cliffy along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 It's definately do-able, but I dont know if they want to spend the time/resources to take care of bumps. Plus, they dont have that much trail real estate to start with, I dont know if they would want to give up a trial to bumps. Cliffhangor could be done if they only did half of it though.

Glenn Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 The "natural" bumps weren't that big ever, I dont think its really what the bump skiiers were looking for. Although every once in a while, big pocono gets some nice sized bumps, and nicely spaced too, I imagine they would be fun. Then again I'm not a skiier so what do I know right?

Glenn Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Last time i went down cliff hanger their were plenty of (bumps). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> By bumps they mean mogals, large bumps in a somewhat regular fashion (repeatedly occuring in some kinda of pattern). There are a few scattered about cliffy, but they groom too often to let them develop into full sized mogals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigurl Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 not a huge fan of bumps but the mountain i ski in New York(Gore) has at least one dimond that is always bumps and then towards the bottom on the bottom mountain they have a "bumb run" it's pretty cool to watch people who actually know what they are doing go through those areas.

skidude Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 CB let rocket a few years ago bump...But that stopped because of ski team practice, and it is also the trail the partrolers use for there practice most of the time. Asp as a bump run would be realllll nice...I think I have skiied it a few times with bumps. Or do 1/2 of big pocono as bumps...Or turn it into a super G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro_boarder Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 There were huge bumps one day after a snow storm on the rocket last year(i think). And I have seen them riden them on ocasion on all of the other blacks. I dont think they realy even need a dedicated bunp run. Let one trail get bumped then when It gets unmanigable groom it out and let another trail get bumps that way it adds some variety to the mountain too. Also bumps on a trail will keep beople who think they can snowboard from scraping all the snow off the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They whole thing about a dedicated run is it keeps the bumps big all the time as opposed to having to wait for a trail to get used enough for the bumps to be worth while.

skidude Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 All they have to do to get a trail to be bumped is blow about an even 4 inch coating of snow, and leave it ungroomed...Later that day you will have a sweet bump run. I remember them dooing that a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeskier Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I'm not a big fan of bumps. However i think that CB could spare one of their front 4 diamonds. I'd say Asp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 (edited) I think its just like the parks. They probobly feel for insurance reasons they shouldnt have a bump run, and since their market is the NY crowd, who no offense inteded general has no clue what is going, the are a lot more likely to find a way into a law suit for n00bs being on traills they shouldnt be. Still it sux the rest of us have to suffer cos some morons are law suit happy, and morons when it comes to common sense.

Schif Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Bump runs are a lot of fun. I'm not really sure why I think that because im a snowboarder, but they are. I dont know what I would do if my Montage groomed some of the doubles flat. Most mountains have at least part of one trail bumped. CB should try to spice up the front four a little bit.

ski911 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Actually, we tend to have less problems with noobs on a bumped trail. They are very intimidating and usually turn them away. I also think that, in general, we would see less "serious" accidents because of reduction in speeds caused by the moguls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little sign at the top of the trail telling people it it ungroomed, and I think CB would be good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Public_Enemy Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Do you guys think there would be promblem with getting enough loose snow to build up decent bumps? They could always throw haybales down and blow on them. That would help give the bumps a better pattern. In order to get the bumps set up right for zipperline (In my opinion, the best way to ski bumps) they would need to make sure tight bumps with good lines developed. I'm not sure if the regular clientel at CB skis well enough for that to happen. Most of the ones that form naturally there as of now are spaced way apart and don't have a lick of pattern to them.

SomeGuyWhoSkis Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 I'm sure CB could pull off a few bump runs on Asp or Rocket, but I think that a more serious bump trail should be considered if/when CB has its next expansion.
