Poster: A snowHead

Sometimes I wish they would do a bit more of it, we can go days without seeing a piste basher at our local resort and it can get pretty tiring skiing chopped mank all the time

Have you posted the wrong photo?
Joking aside, it doesn't look too bad in that photo.

Sorry I have to say that when there is snow (since there is often not), I'd rather see it spread all over the piste a la this photo, than being flattened and ruined by the piste basher. I'd actively seek out a resort where the pistes generally look more like this!

St Anton they are fairly relaxed about bashing it.

It's getting the right balance, I've had enough of the skiing in Italy where every square inch is bashed every night, it's good to have some runs left untouched, including blues so people can learn bumps without having the gradient of blacks. It's also nice to have some runs flattened for some carving.
Last week in Tignes was good on piste, StAnton in three weeks time

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I think that's an important point. All the proper moguls I've found in the last few trips have been on steep black runs which does make it hard to develop a solid technique in an easier environment.

That would be classed as groomed here in Scotland!
