Totally awesome day out there today!!!! A LOT of talent out there today!!! Cant remember all the names but a bunch of guys from the mogulskiing.net forum as well as the AZ regulars. Bumps were totally sick today, with all the good skiers some sick lines were cut!! Gonna throw back a few brews and pop some advil!! Nice ripping with you guys today!!

Steve summed it up, lots of great talent out there, fun to watch them. Couldn't ask for better conditions.

Good to meet all of you and hopefully 2knees and Brian get the videos up tonight(even though I think I did a good job avoiding it!)

Awesomely sick day. Lots of good talent out there today, which resulted in some pretty sick lines. I got there a little late, things were in full swing by the time I met up with the rather large crew. Great fun letting them run a bit today. Good to meet some new faces too!

I have a little video that I took with my point and shoot camera, so I don't know how it's going to come out. I'll try to get it up a little later on.

Yes, the bumps are really starting to get big in spots.

Tough to catch up to you to say hello...lol. I had green pants.. blue jersey #19. Not real stylin but practical. I was in and out due to kid duty for parts of the day.

And Brian could do me a huge favor and edit out the disaster that was me on the topsection.. fugly from the get go and only got worse after I passed him. I am not a clutch guy.. doesn't bode well for the comp...

Those of us that were paying attention saw him, talked to him, and even rode the lift with him.

:lol:

There were LOTS of people there, it was hard to keep track of who was there and who wasn't.

If I caught any disasters then I'll do my best to be kind.

They brainwashed me. Got any vouchers for us to come down and try out Barneys?

Great day for sure. I don't think I can ever remember skiing with that many great skiers at one time. I will have to check out Mogulskiing.net tonight to see what those guys are saying out our little hill. They all seemed pretty impressed with our bump run.

Madroch · Mar 15, 2009

We (I won't out the participants) were discussing a preferred format for the comp... with all the talent around, we think all of us one and (most likely) dones should go first, so as not to have to follow, or be followed, by the likes of 180 and co. Also, we may look better to the judges and our throngs of adoring fans, being compared to ourselves...then we can sit on the deck or trailside in the sun and enjoy the show.

As if the 60 degree sunny weather didn't clue me in that today must have been epic, the phone calls from 2knees and powhunter confirmed it. Sounds like it was one helluva gathering today. Sorry I missed it, but I was there in spirit. How's this for irony. Last night at a neighbor's party, I looked at the bottom of a cap from a Magic Hat I was drinking and read this:

:-o Almost creepy. It seems like the mogul gods were trying to tell me something. :lol: Wish I could have been there, but no dice. Anyway, glad the Gunbarrel Gathering II was a success and also happy to hear some new rippers decided to check out our little hill. Both Pat and Steve commented that Chris Sullivan was surveying things from the bottom of Gunny, and seemed very psyched about how the spring bump season at Sundown shaped up. Hopefully days like today will solidify the mogul approach for years to come.

:spread:

Had a great time at your local hill today, the turn out was great. Some of those lines were sick today and it got sicker into the day.

I didn't get to talk with everybody but the guys I did ride up with were cool and fun to be around with. You local guys have a thing good going over there, I have to come back again.

bvibert · Mar 15, 2009

The video from the camera is pretty poor, but I'll get some up in a little bit. For now here's some pics I took:
