    ski sundown bumps

    report indicates that no trail is bumped. also surprised that they're holding the bump comp on gunbarrel instead of satan's. why the change? had a great time on satan's last spring.

    ski sundown 4/2/15 closing day

    finally made it up to the mighty sundown. great little place. 60 degrees and sunshine. ran satan's non-stop for about 2 1/2 hrs 'til my legs were fried. t-t-b bumps were absolute perfection. guess they started as seeded but they were skied in like natural. nice pitch (though not double black)...

    so whose making snow this week ...

    so far the boyne resorts - sunday river, loon & sugarloaf - and jay are in. no coincidence that it's the resorts with currently the most open terrain. and even if it's show snow, it's a great way to market next season's passes by showing commitment to their customers. kudos.
