Hi Everyone! I get to be the guy to write here on AZ.
Increasing skiable terrain does a few things for the mountain. It obviously allows for bragging rights of a very challenging trail, providing a mogul skiing venue the likes that are unavailable south of Vermont AND it allows us to keep Nor’ Easter groomed for corduroy skiing and snowboarding.
its its own trail, distinct from the lift line. our lifts run way to low to the ground to allow skiing under them.I love what I'm seeing at Sundown. Is the trail distinct from the liftlines, or does it have the lifts on either side of the trail itself?
Wish Crotched or Gunstock had such a commitment to providing a good bump run for day and night skiing.

Does this mean the end of spring bump skiing on Gunny??
it means the end of flat bumps on Nor Easter!
we havent locked in any decision like that. however, this new trail is gonna be far superior to gunny bumps. there is no flat spot half way down, and the lower aspect on exhibition is steeper than lower gunny. so really, i personally would push towards moving spring bumps to the center of the mountain
To be motivated they'd probably have to worry about losing market share to other hills. I don't think either of them are sweating it.
Pats has one...
Well, they did lose my season pass business for not offering quality bumps. :lol: That was also a factor in me moving on from Ragged.
Yup, love Hurricane and I love Pat's for what it is, especially the lodge / sled pub. Unfortunately, the runs are just a bit too short for me to consider getting a pass there. I probably would get a night skiing pass if I lived within 30 minutes or so of there though.
