Ski Sundown (night): Friday, 3/30/2007

**Greg** · Feb 28, 2007, 11:55 AM

I think the mountain has enough snow to make it this long. Hopefully the bumps do too.

If they're open, I'm there.

Changed the thread title as Sundown will be closed Tue-Thu this week. However:

If they do reopen on Friday, I'll be back there for one final night of bump bashing.

I wish that they would have been opened for skiing this wednesday, but I am going to Mount Snow on friday for skiing on what looks to be a blue bird day, so I will not be able to make it.

Any chance that you will be at Mohawk for free skiing on Sunday?

No. Probably gonna hit Jiminy.

I have to be in NYC by 8:30 on Friday and have lax practice from 4:30 - 6:30. If I hustle I could be there by 7:30. Count me as a maybe. It will probably be a game time decision for me. I'm more concerned about the early trip into the city than lax practice. It would be nice to hit the last Sundown night skiing gathering.

Well, based on the forecast, it starts to get cold again at night after tomorrow. At least that will minimize melting at night and in the early morning hours. That sun each day this week is going to beat down that snowpack though. There were a couple dirty troughs up top on the Nor'easter bumps, but Lower had several feet of snow still and no bare troughs. Fingers crossed...

I'm down for this if they open.

nobody skiing on it will help preserve those thin spots big time.

True. I was thinking this too. We cut out a pretty deep line yesterday and some of that dirt is because of us. It's really only thin on the top to three troughs.
