Mt Snow 4/17/08

Date(s) Skied: 4/17/08

Resort or Ski Area: Mt Snow

Conditions: Corn and Slushies

Trip Report: This could be titled the "Powbmps goes huge" tr. more on that later. Met up with Greg, Reefer, DJSpooksman, Roark, Powhunter, MrMagic, Mondeo, Allskiing, Powbmps and his friend Mike. Huge group at first. Hit ego alley right off the bat and while its lacking in pitch, the fun factor is huge. Ego alley, good for our egos! Roark and DJ headed for the north face after that, i think, and we hit Ego for a few more runs. Over to the north face after that and found a really nice Ripcord. Small bumps up top and groomed out the rest of the way. To our surprise, everything we saw on the north face was groomed so, it being a prime spring bump day, back to ego alley. MrMagic suggested we try ledges, which was pretty burned out but alot of fun. Rock and grass hopping required. Some more ego alley/yardsale combos and then powbmps started eyeing the HUGE booter at the bottom of the hill.

powbmps hit it straight up first, to get a feel for it. Next time, in a freakin tuck from above yardsale and around the corner, under the rope and a full 360 iron cross. HUGE air. This guy is an absolutely incredible skier. His bumpin was out of this world and the freakin airs he threw were jaw dropping. Totally humble too. Thanks for putting on that show dude, it was incredible.

All in all a classic spring bump day. The crew we had going was awesome. Those guys all have some serious talent. Fun to ski with. Thats probably it for me, i'll be limping around for another 2 weeks but i can hold out hope for the az mt snow closing day thing.

We got alot of vid including 2 of powbmps airs. Greg the nutjob was still kickin it hard at 3:30. I was complete toast so i bailed. Video should be pretty damn good.

Edit, Greg:

Here are the vids. I think it's worth waiting for the high-res download:

Sweet day indeed...My face feels like I spent the day at the beach. Left around 4:30...ended the day sitting on the deck with Greg and Powerhunter throwing back a few.

yeah, my face is absolutely smoked. It actually hurts a little. Have fun at MRG and killington dave, you bastard.

Great corn harvest!

after the group run down ego djspookman & I hit up upper ledge then headed over to tnf. Hit Jaws, followed by many laps of ripcord. Definitely a kinder, gentler ripcord than I am used to. Most of tnf was recently groomed, total hero snow. The plunge is pretty much done.

A few pics:

I knew Chris was a great bumper after that day at Killington in January. You could just tell. But never in my life thought he could throw down two back to back heli-iron crosses like that. Totally sick jumps and like you said, humble dude. I got both 3X's on vid from two different angles. Definitely the hightlight of the day. Gonna finish dinner and take a shower. More later.

P.S. Pat - Jaws was sick. We all should have given that a spin...

Well thanks 2knees (and Greg)

. It's easy to be brave when the snow is so soft.

Sorry to hear about the bum knee 2knees. You didn't look like it was hurting. That's what matters right

?

It was great meeting more AZers. Had a lot of fun skiing with everybody. Unfortunately you can add my face to the fried list as well.

Going to be hurting tomorrow, but it was well worth it!
