Video Sundown 1-21-08

Date(s) Skied: 1/21/08

Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown

Conditions: refreshed bumps/hardpack

Trip Report: Hit sundown from 10:30 till about 2:30. So psyched to see they refreshed nor'easter overnight. nice fresh cover up top, middle was scratchy and the bottom was soft as pillows. Bumps were pretty damn big down low too. Ran into powhunter around 12:30 or so. rather busy by the afternoon and top to bottom runs on noreaster were an iffy proposition at best. got cut off a number of times. good to ski with steve. quick video. i didnt edit the scenes at all so they are rough. light sucked too but oh well.

its up. nothing much, but its addicting putting them together. snow was really nice and the light stunk so we didnt take much video at all. it was getting scraped off real fast though, you can see both steve and i have an issue at basically the same spot. in the morning, it was heaven.

you know, i love sundown and big props to them for all they do but i feel like i've been eating appetizers for a month now. I need a real meal. I need to get back up north quick. been too long.

Nice job with the video! You guys were smart to get out earlier in the day... it was darn cold there last night!!! (Though no crowds, either...)

Nice vid! However, I did think it was a bit funny that right after the "POWHUNTER" title you see that girl in white struggling in the bumps. My first thought was, "damn I thought Steve was better than that!"
