I have an Epic pass this year, first time. I'll use it in CO and CA. But, I'll also try to get my money's worth close to home. I've been to 7s a bunch and also Whitetail. I've never been to Liberty, Roundtop, HV, or Laurel. This might be a good year to check them out. Which one's should I prioritize? Who's got moguls and when?

I believe of those 3 liberty has historically been the place for bumps.

I haven’t been to HV or Laurel, but I like Roundtop and don’t really like Liberty. Liberty does have bumps, but calling them “runs” is pretty generous. They’re really just short drops that go right into a traverse, followed by longer, flatter, possibly bumpy runouts to the chair.

I don’t think I’ve seen bumps at Roundtop, but I like that they have a couple chairs that mostly serve advanced terrain, so the crowd management and variety are pretty good for the size.

Whitetail is probably still my go-to of the three former Snowtime resorts.

Hidden Valley had bump set up on Thunderbird last year. That was the first time I have seen them do that in a while Laurel has done bumps on occasion also.

If you are in the area you need to check out Laurel anyway

Moguls would be a bonus, but for a first time visit it's ok if there aren't moguls. Atmosphere/beauty would be a big criteria.

Then Laurel Mountain is the right answer......
