Ski Sundown (night): Wednesday, 1/24/2007

[Greg]

I'll be there. Hope we have some moguls by then...

It looks like this may be my first night out with you guys at Sundown. I may be able to make tomorrow, Friday 1/12, but I'm not sure. I'll be out-of-town on 1/17 so that date is definitely out.

I'm not happy that I haven't hit Sundown yet but I'll feel better if I make it on 1/24 and the conditions are good. Even if the conditions aren't great, as long as the company is good, I'll be happy.

the waiting is the hardest part.

We've got a fair amount of cold forecasted between now and then. I think bumps are a good chance by this one. I pinged Chris for an update, but haven't heard anything yet.

exactly which is why i threw my name in the hat for this one. thinking there just might be a chance its up by then.

 

[Greg]

I'm in. Tons of snow has been made at the mountain based on my observation from the base yesterday. I hope we get moguls on Nor'easter by Wednesday...

 

[Grassi21]

I think I'm a go for this one.

 

[bvibert]

It's a remote possibility for me, I might miss the 7:00 meet-up if I do make it...

I'll post an update on conditions if I'm able to make it out tomorrow night...

 

[bvibert]

I'm almost a definite now. I won't be getting to the mountain until 7 or a little after so I'll have to catch up with you guys on the hill.

Nice! I'll probably be there around the same time. I propose we make the official sundeck meet-up time to be 7:30 for these Wednesday night gatherings. Thoughts?

 

[bvibert]

Works for me.

From todays report:

100% OF OUR TERRAIN IS OPEN. OPEN MIDWEEK FROM 9AM-10PM; WEEKENDS 8AM-10PM. SNOWMAKING IN PROGRESS...WE'RE CONTINUING TO POWDER UP EVERYTHING, FORMING MOGULS ON NOR'EASTER & LOWER EXHIBITION RIGHT & BEEFING UP THE BASE DEPTHS!!!!

Ya-effin-hoo!

Interesting. Have they ever seeded bumps on Exhibition before?

I should be good to go tomorrow. 7:30 works for me. I'll probably be there earlier giving the school kids dirty looks in the lift line.

Nope. This is a new approach. Chris elluded to it during the challenge. They are also supposed to seed starting at the sundeck with a groomed bail-out until the Temptor merge. Lower Nor'easter will be wall-to-wall bumps like last year. This, along with the skier's right bumps on Ex should give you guys just learning moguls some low-angle bumps to play on. I'm so pumped. Can't wait for tomorrow. I might have to hit Gunbarrel a time or two because it just opened, but beyond that I'm all Nor'easter bound! Psyched!!! With 100% open terrain and moguls, now the Wednesday night crew can really kick it into high gear. Gonna aim for 6:30. Sundeck meet-up at 7:30.

Check out this forecast. With the exception of tomorrow afternoon with temps only in the mid-30s, I see no above freezing temps through the weekend. If they're setting up stubs today and have continued cold to blow in the troughs, we may be looking at some seriously rad bumps the next couple of weeks. This is gonna be cool. I might try to do a revisit at night over the weekend as I don't think I'll be able to do any day trips this weekend.

If I don't do a day trip to the Cat this weekend I might revisit on Sunday night. The Cat is finally starting to expand their terrain.

I'm glad for you. I know you were excited about your pass. Those crappy first two months of the season are just about a distant memory for me now.

 

[2knees]

finally. i've been waiting on this forever it seems.

now my sundown season can get underway.

 

[Catul]

I can't make it tomorrow night, but am planning to ski a couple of hours Friday morning; let me know if any of you might be there!
