Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown, New Hartford, CT
Conditions: Spring bumps that firmed up later in the night. Temps near 60 to start, dropping into the 40's later on, calm, mostly clear skies.
Trip Report: Well, tonight was the final night for the AZ Sundown crew. We had loafer89 and Warren, bvibert, powhunter, 2knees and me. Brian, Pat, Steve and I spent the entire night on Nor'easter. Warren and loafer joined us as well for a few runs throughout the night. A few big areas at the top of the bumps burned out, but we had one nice line off the top. The rest of the bumps were similar to Monday.
We started with daylight and mushy spring conditions. As the sun went down there were two or three runs when it was tricky to see. It was tough to ski in the dusk before the lights fully illuminated the trails. Once it got completely dark, the bumps were lit up well. The surface definitely firmed up over the course of the night. Pat and I threw down some old school cheese.....uh, I mean steeze....a few times.
A great night. Got a bunch of vid so I'll try to put something together this weekend. Cool to get powhunter officially part of the Sundown night bumpin' crew. Tonight was it for me at Sundown. The bumps were great this year and a lot of fun. I figured out that after tonight I put in somewhere on the order of 175 bump runs on Nor'easter! :blink: Tonight was a perfect way to bid farewell. Brian, Pat and I hung in the lot and tailgated for a little bit. Great times! See you guys next year!
