Pretty cool that your work is closed for the first day of rifle hunting season.No I had today scheduled off and yes I'm still here. Good day to practice bumps. I'm starting to realize that line prophets aren't the greatest bump ski in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiggio Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Prophets are great cruisers with the metal band in them, good on hardpack/ice, great in soft/powder/spring granular. They are not good in the bumps, too stiff and wide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I know the new tent where the PASRs used to park is gonna be their ski shop. They need to get the construction wrapped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 So much going on between the Waterpark, the valley etc. The tents have to be temporary until the Blue Mountain grand resort and spa opens up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not good in the bumps, too stiff and wide. Seems pretty spot on. I've yet to ski them in true hard pack / ice yet. I'm sure there will be plenty of time for that during the after work sessions. [emoji303] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 The waterpark is on hold. Apparently they are putting alot of money into the place because Bruce who's 1/3 owner is not doing well health wise and Barbie is gonna sell out.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Not a powder day. You are off the hook this time... In 2006-07 I skied 119 days including a streak of 61 straight days...ever since then I've been slacking. I just want 70 days this season. 50 at Blue and 20 in the Rockies. seem ok so far but I'm skiing 90's MBike-mike do you have bump skis?

Justo8484 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah prophets are inherently not gonna be great in the bumps. There's a reason bump skis are narrow, minimally shaped, and non-metal. Ha got all 3 of those working against ya with the prophets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarponhead Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 MBike-mike do you have bump skis? MBike-Mike don't need no stinking bump skis to ski bumps. He get at them with anything on his feet [emoji14] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 The prophets are a pretty amazing ski. I'm actually looking for something wider to complement the prophets when it snows. Don't think those will be good in bumps either. Luckily I'm not normally seeking out bumps. Usually when there are spring conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
