Another great spring day out there. Seemed everyone stepped it up out there today. Nice to meet a few more new Az'ers.

The bottom half of 2knees last run was picture perfect, gives me something to aim for. Also Greg definitely brought his A-game today.

Look forward to the video tonight when they finally finish up out there.

Awsome day on the hill today. Pat, Greg, and 180 were just killing it out there all day. Greg in particular looked like a different skier, he had is A+ game out there for sure. Just being around so many great bump skiers made me step up my game today as well.

Greg took a ton of footage and should have one hell of a movie for all of us later.

I guess I suck since I didn't even get a mention... :(

;)

Great, great awesomely radical day! The conditions were perfect, the weather was sweet, and the company was superb! I can't wait to see the video!

It was great to see all the people enjoying the bumps today. At one point Greg and I were at the bottom chatting with Chris Sullivan and Greg pointed out that there was no one on the groomed section of Gunny, but there was a bunch of people coming down the bumps.

I'm beat, that trail is a total ass kicker! :spread:

i was typing that so fast i knew i left some people out. i was grilling and didnt want to burn my dinner.

but in all seriousness, you and o3jeff were both looking very good today too. what a difference some softer snow makes. everyone was just letting it go today.

Sounds like you had guys had a good time, too bad I missed it. By the time I dragged myself away from spring bumps on Outer Limits, my legs were shot. Next time...

Can't wait to see the video! Sorry I missed out on the big AZ bumps day but after yesterday, I was too tired to drag myself up there. I haven't been sleeping well and that isn't helping. I wouldn't have been able to ski anyway, though it would have been nice to meet some more members. Next time.

What an amazing 4 hours. Good to meet more AZ'ers. I can't believe how much everyone has improved over the last 2 years.

I don't know who to thank for making the whole Sundown thing happen, but thanks. I know Greg has championed this, so kudos to you. It's a great vibe on a geat run. The music really helped me kick it up and hold it together at the bottom. Gunbarell is really quite challenging with those thousand of tiny moguls. My knees are quite sore right now, but we'll be back again.

I am glad we have settled the format of the contest, but I wouldn't mind an ironman on another day.

aiight, now that i've had a chance to get the kids in bed, grab a mild buzz and do my chores, i just wanted to elaborate.

For me, this almost brought back memories. Not of sundown, but almost dying memories of bump crews gone past. :lol: seriously, way back in the day, i skied with a crew of guys. always looking for bumps. our springtime right of passage was O.L. at killington. We basically played chicken as to who would cry uncle and go ski the bumps on wildfire first. I think we made it till 3:00 many times. :razz:

Today reminded me of that crew. I wasnt able to stick around for the whole show, but the talent on display, and the run itself, lended itself to that type of mentality. I wouldnt even be skiing at sundown if it werent for those bumps. i cant thank them enough. and hell, if it werent for meeting people on this board, i wouldnt be skiing much either. I was down to 5 times in 2003 total. I kept using my knee surgeries as an excuse. skiing with psychos like you makes you forget that crap.

I'm gonna wake up and be like, wtf was i thinking posting that......
