I got there around 4 pm and skied my ass off until 7 pm. The bumps are beautiful. I think we're finally in the corn cycle so I hope they soften similarly for Sunday. You could just crush the lines today. Slush explosions! The first hour was amazing; second best bump day ever, bested only by the Friday night powder bump night a few weeks back. It then started to crunch up a bit, but still was forgiving into the evening. Jonny and powhunter convinced me to rock the knee flags today. Good luck with the Krylon approach, boys!

I got the spread dialed for the first roller. Chris Sullivan says they plan to add a few lips on there. I nailed a couple of complete single twisters on the bottom kicker and a pretty feeble twister-spread attempt. I think I'll play conservative on Sunday and concentrate on a good single twist. The Velveeta was flowing this afternoon for sure.

Skied a few runs with loafer89 and Warren. Sorry if I was short with you guys this afternoon. I didn't mean to come across anti-social, but I was in full on practice mode. Met with Brian for only one run on the bumps. Then Nor'easter was roped for grooming so we did a run down Tom's and cut over to hit the lower kicker a few times. I finished on Gunny a bit after 7 pm as N'E was still roped when I had to leave. Gunny was firming up pretty quickly. Hope the bumps are still soft for Brian tonight.

Chris Sullivan also said they will extend the new lower bumps a bit. There are only 3 or 4 rows right now.

You really need to bring that mad steeziness up to the mighty Sundown on Sunday. Come on, GSS. Imagine if you school all of us the bragging rights you'll have...

I think we should all plan on Mount Snow for their last Sunday of the season that they're open. We'll have an impromptu AZ bump off with peir voting at the end of the day for kicks. Snow seems like the most central location to all.

I say this now and I'll probably get stuck in some work obligation

But it would be a good way to end the season with an AZ meet up as I bummed for not being able to make the Bush.

I'm game. I do think Snow will push for a late closing.

I imagine tickets will be cheap anyway, but perhaps if we can get 20 or so to commit it will end up an even better deal. It would be kind of cool to have the season start and 'somewhat' finish with an AZ outing at the same location.

That said, I hope to still be skiing at Sugarloaf or Wildcat in May, but I recognize those areas are a bit far of a hike for most on the board.
