Yahoo's Ice Bumps

I hate to say this sacrilege, but I think there should be a rule or something that says if a bump run stays hard as rock for a few days it should be groomed down so the bumps can re-form.

For example, at Belleayre this past week, upper Yahoo had wonderful bumps when it was warm and drizzly at the beginning of the week.  We all skied them like WC pros :)     Then on Monday they froze into metal turtle shells, and skiing them was like vibrating the crap out of your legs.  Tuesday it was closed.  Then for the rest of the week, despite some snowfall, it was more like survival skills getting down, rather than skiing.  If they had broken the ice up with a groomer on Monday, the rest of the week would have been great.

By the way, for you bump maniacs, Bell seems to be maintaining a freestyle bump run on lower Onteora in sight of Overlook Lodge for great show-off stylin'....
