Ski Sundown - 1/31/2007 (night)

**Greg** · Jan 31, 2007, 10:13 PM

Date(s) Skied: Wednesday, 1/31/2007 - 7:05 pm - 10:15 pm

Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown, New Hartford, CT

Conditions: Manmade packed powder, hard pack, seeded moguls. Temps in the 20's, Clear, moonlit skies.

Trip Report: Clicked in shortly after 7 pm and headed right to Nor'easter. The bump lines were a bit strange and the bumps were certainly harder and faster than Sunday night. Saw 2knees at the top of the Ex bumps and loafer89 at the base. We all rode up together and took another run on Nor'easter. We were then off to the sun deck to meet the rest of the crew. Grassi21, bvibert and Marc were already waiting. Great to finally meet Marc. We gave madskier9 a few more minutes and then headed out while loafer and Warren headed home.

Most of us stuck to skiing Nor'easter all night. We finally bumped into madskier9 and his kids while loading Lift 2. We got a run in with them. We would hook up with Jeff again later in the night. Stuck to Nor'easter/Exhibition all night. I didn't feel as good as Sunday, but it was still a ton of fun. Brian kept at it all night with us. For a guy skiing bumps only 4 days he can hold his own. I grabbed a great video of him. Pat slammed through the moguls in typical 2knees fashion. Marc is a hell of an athletic bumps skier - excellent for only skiing bumps for a couple years. I've never seen someone ski backwards so much.

Jeff is a very controlled bump skier with big sweeping pole plants. He's fun to watch. His kids seemed to be having a blast in the bumps. Chris was keeping at it on the Exhibition bumps. Keep logging those miles Chris!

All in all, a great night and a pretty decent sized crew. Glad to finally meet Marc who lived up to his online persona!

Damn your quick with the TRs.

Nice to meet you Marc. You are the steeziest!

marc and madskier, nice bump skills both. cant believe marc has only been skiing bumps for a couple of years. Madskier looks like water flowing dowhill, SMOOOOOTHHHH. Grassi, greg and brian, always a pleasure.

I feel like i've been in a blender. I'm beat down. I have pain from my feet to my neck. tomorrow is gonna suck.

Tonight was a lotta fun. Great to hit a few runs with you guys. Nice to meet you 2knees, bvibert, Grassi21 & Marc.

Thanks for the kind words about my bump skiing, Greg & 2knees. I was very impressed with your bump skills as well. 2knees does the zipper line very well. Greg has a nice easy flowing rhythm to his technique. Hats off to you guys for skiing the bump runs all night. While I enjoy the bumps, I can't do them all night like you guys. I like a little variety with some cruisers mixed in for good measure.

Other than Nor'easter & Exhibition, Gunbarrel was my favorite run of the night. I got some serious speed going on that run and enjoyed the carving. My 2 sons had a great time and really liked Sundown. We'll be back!

Good God you guys spend way too much time on the intarweb. It was good to finally meet you psychos. My balance still felt pretty off in those bumps. I haven't skied seeded since... well, I don't know if I've ever skied good seeded bumps before.

It was cool skiing with 2knees... and picking up some technique. All in all a good night.

Aaaaand I made it home in an hour without getting my ass a ticket, because believe me, i was most deserving. Let's go with that video Greg, everyone can marvel at my backwards skiing skillz.

Nice. I remember when we had a couple outings a year. Know we have a couple a week anyway. Night skiing works for many.
