bumps for boomers
Anyone familiar with this group, www.bumpsforboomers.com ? They seem to
specialize in lessons for people like me, middle aged and sticking too much to groomed runs. They are shockingly expensive, though. So, before I go I'd like to hear if anyone has experience with them. |

Bumps and groomed are NOT the only types of skiing - not even close. Rather than a bump clinic, I'd look for a western based 3-5 day advanced skier AKA high performance clinic where they get you off piste and into some natural snow conditions - bumps are no more natural than groomed. Unless of course you want to be an elderly Bloom? |

Unless of course you want to be an elderly Bloom? C'mon up north. We'll show you how to ski EasternFirm(tm). LAL shows me a thing or two in the west, but I bet he'd be following me instead of the other way around on my home turf. The one advantage LAL has on me is his miles per year. I'm still (self) employed and don't get to ski every day. VtSkier |

Probably have to sharpen my skis, too. Maybe even get skis with genuine camber. Little short things, I imagine... The one advantage LAL has on me is his miles per year. I'm still (self) employed and don't get to ski every day. Your day will come. Just try to make it a couple of decades before the bod gives out. |
