Anyone been? Any good? Do they (the coaches) specially make moguls for the session or is it just a matter of skiing whatever ice and sugar is left over at the end of the day? What's the standard like - can't imagine there is scope for making huge bumps? All view welcome as to whether its worth making the trip up sometime.

fatbob, never actually done one, but have spoken to one person who has and said it was very good, maybe partly because only 2 people booked into it. They specially make moguls for the session and the ones I've skied have ranged from tight and tricky rut line to reasonable rhythm/size ones. At the time they were only starting to offer the sessions and were working out how the moguls ought best be made. Obviously the session is highly instructor dependent and I'm not sure if they were even run over the winter, when some of the best MK instructors may have been away in the mountains.

fatbob, A basi 1, Matt Ottaway, who is s**t hot in the bumps works in the summer at MK and may be who runs the course, worth asking for him by name

fatbob, Matt has indeed sometimes run the course. He's been in courch over the winter, then up to glasgow and should be back at MK next week. Also a young fellow called Mark who only just failed his CSIA IV! by the skin of his teeth this season.

OK thinking of going next month - anyone know how to get in touch directly with someone who will actually know, not some muppet on the phone who'll just look at the schedule and say yep its on? Not keen on shelling out railfare & taking skis into work if there turn out to be no moguls or no coaches & no I don't trust Xscape
