I'll be out on the hill running drills with the race crew (black and orange jackets). Depending on when we wrap up (given the weather, I suspect we won't go long), I might check out the bumps until closing, but I suspect they will be rock hard and nasty tonight. Good to build character... :lol:
What are you wearing?
Red jacket, Black ski pants.. Black hat n gloves... flip flops
More then likely just doing the 6-10pm ticket tonight.
Edit: I don't believe I gave an honest answer to that question.. it is almost appalling..

Yeah, as I understand it they are old head instructor hand-me-down jackets...

Were those something like Senior Instructor jackets before? I remember seeing them but there weren't a lot of them.
Instructor supervisor jackets.

Still aiming for New Year's morning. I like to look at both the Taunton and Albany forecasts for Sundown since it's right on the Litchfield/Hartford county border. Two different forecasts:
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...1054688&site=aly&smap=1&marine=0&unit=0&lg=en
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...2304688&site=aly&smap=1&marine=0&unit=0&lg=en
Both offices hint at around an inch. I still think New Year's morning will be decent, but nothing to rush for or get excited about. Still, we know how much 3" helped those Stinger bumps so an inch or two should make Temptor skiable along with the snow making it got last night, and hopefully more tonight.

I should be there by 9, was planning on doing some drills with the Twisters on the flats to get a good feel for them so if you know any let me know
Very busy today. I heard the bumps were decent with the new top coating they got last night, but still pretty firm.
I'm probably bailing on heading over tonight...

Nice improvement in the forecasts. albany is calling for a couple, while Taunton has a total of 2-6+ by tomorrow. The bumps will get primed today and hopefully so more snow overnight. Who's gonna kick off the new year with me at the Institution tomorrow? I'll be there at 8 am, probably hungover.
