Sundown - 3/6/10

Quick report. Skied with my daughters today. Awesome time. they eventually both did Temptor and Stinger. Getting my barely 4 year old on some blacks was awesome. My oldest wasn't sure, but the little one yells, "just come on, Abby!"

Great to ski with o3jeff and his nephew. Enjoyed watching MrMagic rip Gunny which looks sick. Perfect weather, High 40's and bluebird:

Your little one is a born natural! Sounds like a fabulous day!

Glad we were able to get some runs in with you and the girls. Brandon was already asking on the ride home when we could ski with you guys again!

Your little one is a riot with her singing coming off the lift and down the hill

Nice looking run. I'm definately going to check the place out soon...should be some good spring skiing through April this season!!!

Skied gunny for about an hour after work today. The spacing seems nice, and the bumps were nice and soft. I wish I had more time to ski them. Some of the lines at the top are already starting to get deep in spots.

I didn't take any pictures this afternoon, but here's one I shot around 8 this morning:

Not much different than Greg's. One thing you can't see in either pic is that they have the roll-overs for where the kickers are going to go in there already. I hear that some kickers will be getting built on them in the next week.

I was pretty freaking pumped to see the moguls down as far as they were when I got there this morning. Kurt basically seeded the entire trail in one night (except for the top 10 rows or so). He put in the last 10 or 15 rows in the hour and a half between when I got there and when we opened.

This is him working on them around 6:45 or so:

we owe kurt some beer or something. what does he drink and where should i drop it off

i'll be there tomorrow for about an hour and a half or so. Its all the time i have but its worth dropping the $50 for a few runs on that.

Those look real nice. Are they a bit bigger than last year?

Smallish right now but the spacing this year is WAAAAY better from what I could tell by looking at them. Gunny has about 50% more snow on it than it did this time last year. With some ripper traffic we should be able to ski in many deep troughy lines this week. Money by next weekend would be my guess as long as the weather cooperates.
