Still I feel there is a growing demand for terrain like this.
1) Anyone seen any actual marketing information saying this? Everything I've seen has been going the other way.
b) Anyone ever really looked at the amount of skiers on the bumps on Spring Fling, when it is done half and half? I see the vast majority of people on the groomed half for most of the trail.
Like I say, I'm not trying to run the place, but part of my job is to approach people having trouble on terrain. I have been assured that lower part of Northstar, the first part of Pushover and the first and last part of Lower Pushover were not green. I have also been assured that Elbow and Downspout were not blue. I have been asked by someone on Murphy's, how someone can get to a blue.
Truth be told, we have a tough little mountain. I don't say this as a problem, as I've been known to make a turn or two, there. I'll find a way to make my way down the hill.
I just worry about funneling a greater amount of people onto a narrow section of trail so that the rest can be set up for people that aren't there.
As for the question as to who is too old to ski bumps... Daevious is certainly too old. Bubba isn't, but he's too tied to that whole PSIA thing.
Anyone here know who John and Barbara King are? Anyone know Rich Jones?
