Re: Mouse Trap
Most should be groomed with seeded bumps skier's left.

Re: Mouse Trap
That depends on if it is a blue or a black. Seriously, put the seeded bumps in, groom to skiers right of that until you get far enough right where it's mainly natural snow and don't groom there.
Re: Mouse Trap
Good plan for mousetrap, seems that's what has always happened naturally anyway, actual seeded bumps even better.

Re: Mouse Trap
It's got hydrants on skier's right though never used. Maybe dust it enough to bump it up over there and leave skier's left groomed?

Leave skier's right au naturale, but put up the fences to keep the hapless herbs outnewpylong1 wrote: ↑Dec 4th, '24, 14:49 It's got hydrants on skier's right though never used. Maybe dust it enough to bump it up over there and leave skier's left groomed?

Re: Mouse Trap
i'm sure it will be groomed probably by friday. this morning no one was skiing it so almost all the snowdon traffic funneled down chute, which in addition to getting quickly hacked, has a double fall line that an be tricky for lesser skiers.
normally they groom skier's left and leave skier's right au naturel. on occasion they'll seed a route in the middle. but once kms gets to it, the bumps become huge and skied off. then w the inevitable thaws, the bumps become frozen cliffs w tight narrow troughs that only the best bumpers can ski.

Re: Mouse Trap
its always a black regardless of how they wanna label it. its steep enough, but its the merge at the bottom that makes it a black. its similar in steepness to east fall, but shorter.daytripper wrote: ↑Dec 4th, '24, 13:53 That depends on if it is a blue or a black.

they usually groom the left and leave the right untouched, no need to seed it.
