The snow wasn't corn, it was sort of icy, and the snow was encrusted with sh*t for the cog's black cloud of death, not mud. And I split the drive so it was only $40,000.

Here's one pics from GPetrics of me. (I forgot my camera, doh!)
you actually need skis to do that?

And you were making fun of the vertical at Sundown?? Geeze what's that like 15 maybe 20 verts tops! No wonder why it's not lift served! The slide in my kids playscape has more verts than that! :LOL:

Looks like some mandatory air there. Where's the pic of you crashing?

Well you could slide down it on your ass, but I doubt you're stopping.

It continues once you skirt across that little piece of grass. Making it into a run with double the vert of the "mighty" Sundown.

Nope, just step over the grass. There was a mandatory air (or down climb) about 50 ft later though. Gpetrics was thinking about airing it but decided that a somewhat firm 40 degree slope with sharp rocks below wasn't the best place to fall. We actually tried to push enough snow over it to make it skiable, but failed, and just made the down climb extra slippery.




PS: I make fun of Sundown because I secretly wish it close to me. I'm not kidding. If Sundown was as close as Wawa for me I would be there a least one night a week bashing bumps with you guys.

Does Wawa have a designated bump run..

Oh to keep this thread going..people who re-enter a trail without looking uphill are not only Skiers Responsibility Code Violaters but also DuckD(ckM&therf*ckers..

Yes they do, but it sucks 99% of the time.

Here's a pic I took of Gpetrics yesterday. A little steep, ehh?

Unless its a snowboarder that hits the skier re-entering the trail - then it's about the snowboarders blind spot.

How about bungee sliding .. anchor a bungee cord off at the top and slide down on your belly like a penguin ..kind of like bungee jumping.
