Dump

Other wise known as: snowfall, the big dump

   “We gotta go ride tomorrow, it is suppose to dump at least six inches. C’mon, please Mom?”

Dump is a term used to describe an amount of fresh snow that has or will fall.

Most always riders are excited by a good dump because that means lines that were previously tracked out are now fresh again. It also means that any non park hits will have soft landings again instead of the icy hard pack that develops after sessioning a jump for a period of time.

The negative aspects of a good dump are that you have to break trail again on any trail that already had a good boot pack and the roads and highways will suck right afterward.

The big dump refers to the biggest amount of snow that will fall for that season. Some seasons have a few good big dumps while some seasons have none and usually suck because of it.
