Video Ski Sundown - 12/31/2007

Date(s) Skied: Monday, 12/31/2007, 8:50 am - 12:45 pm

Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown, Connecticut

Conditions: Bumps!

Trip Report: Great morning on the bumps today and a perfect way to finish out 2007. The 2" of wet snow worked into the bumps nicely. There are two perfect side-by-side lines from the top of the Nor'easter bumps which continue down into Lower Nor'easter. Even the bottom of Nor'easter is improving. Met up with bvibert, powhunter (who launched into the woods at one point ), jonnypoach, and even took a few runs with MrMagic. Managed to get on the lift with 03jeff as a single! Also saw Yooper working today. Finally, met Chris Sullivan. Great day. Bumps are in nice shape!

Must be. My dad has been saying that for as long as I can remember. Among many other colorful, interesting phrases that would make you go .

HNY, Steve! You definitely didn't seem as dialed on the 'Brawlers as you normally are on the 1080s.

Not a race or competition. I'll be settling back into a normal ski schedule this week. Had Christmas week off and since the bumps were set up early, tried to hit 'em as much as possible. See you Wednesday. Still looking at 3-6" tomorrow. Should be great!

Maybe a vid later tonight...
