All depends on the weather of course but does know of any resorts in Europe where the pisteurs tend to leave plenty of bumps in place?

Didn't see many bumps in Les 2 Alpes or in Val Thorens and the 3 Valleys ..The Sella Ronda had a few slopes that were bumpy and Madonna had one or two they left unpisted but no great swathes of mogul fields...That was this year in Jan/Feb I seem to remember The Gran Massif (Flaine ) used to give you a few mogul fields but that was a few seasons ago

You need to look for resorts with runs that never get groomed and itineraries. They all turn into bump fields, but they would normally be steep blacks or steeper (for itineraries). Bumps that form on groomed runs by the end of the day will get bashed every evening.

Cascades in Val Thorens is usually reliable later in the season. Being high they stay in pretty good condition too.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Seems to me that more runs are not left unpisted in these modern times. However, I have just spent 2 weeks in Lech and there were several bump runs but none on the 'normal' runs.
