Date(s) Skied: Thursday, 12/13/2007, 2:50 pm - 6:45 pm
Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown, New Hartford, Connecticut
Conditions: Puking snow. Powder.
Trip Report: Left for the mountain around 1:30 pm this afternoon. It normally takes me 25 minutes, but due to all the doofuses today, it took me over an hour. Met up with bvibert and downhill04 in the lot. There was probably close to 6" down already by the time we started.
The skiing was great. Some scratch still poking through. We hit all the major runs - Nor'easter, Stinger, Temptor and Canyon run. Each run got better as the snow got deeper. We even tried one of the tree runs. Not quite ready, but still fun to cruise through. Eventually all the trails become well covered with no more scrape to be found.
It puked the entire time. downhill04 went into the ski shop at one point to get some clear lenses (no luck) so Brian and I skied together for a while. He eventually had to quit to work around 4:45. I met back up with downhill04 and skied with him until around 5:40 when we ate. He took one more run after dinner and I kept at it until around 6:30. I then decided to leave and save some legs for tomorrow's Hunter powder day. Not easy to do so.
Awesome day. About as good as it gets in CT. Great to meet a new AZer in downhill04 who is not only a really great skier, but a cool guy and we convinced him to hit Hunter tomorrow! We picked up about a foot.
Vid coming...

I'm sure Brian was thrilled work shut down early so he could join you!
