Nor'Easter:

parts of nor easter bumps looked and felt lunar...

tough to see the lower bumps but that is a great shot of the kicker that i will not be hitting on saturday.

This just in! Nor'Easter before the turn for Temptor:


Honestly, I have no idea why he sent that one...

ETA: I've received clarification that this pic is to show ice.

Another one... Bottom of Temptor:

Good night. Nice reseed on lower temptor, the top is still hanging in there with a fresh top coating. Kickers are taking some new shape with radically different landings. Nor'easter is pretty effed up right now though... More tomorrow, must sleep now.

Can't wait to get back out tomorrow night after they blow snow tonight!

interesting developments.

below the kickers has been totally reseeded. and reseeded tight and symetrical. rough now but should be sick by saturday. noreaster bumps are utterly, totally and completely ruined. i hit them 3 times and skipped them the rest of the night. i have no idea how it happened but there are just huge ice whales there now. temptor before the kicker is pretty deep and, although i hate the word, gnarly.

Downhill hit the right side kicker at least 2 times and i went off it on my last run after i realized what he was doing. I barely caught air as i was scrubbing speed off like a freakin sally but still, its nice.

I'll say this, if they get skied in properly, the bottom half should be sick. The top half is gonna take some cajones to hit with speed. topcoat or not, they are big, burly, meaty and solid.

good night, glad i got out. i found top of temptor nice. best line was down the middle, not to either kicker. IMHO, left line to the kicker was OK. the first turn was a big sweep. line on right was better but i felt like there was one to many bumps right before the kicker.

bottom was odd, i've never skied newly seeded bumps before. add some new snow and they should be good to go for saturday.

I thought the top of temptor was sweet too. Just not a speed run. I totally agree that the middle line was the best, having tried left once, middle 4 or 5 times and right 3 times. i just couldnt see letting it go with those bumps. they're only about 8-10 long but they are pretty deep and firm.


btw, as usual, your skiing was exceptional.

looks like that kicker has a downward landing ? not a flat landing anymore ?

thanks, wasn't feeling it much tonight but appreciate the comment.


pieced together some video, mostly scenic shots showing the condition of temptor. will post tonight if it gets done before i fall asleep.
