Ski Sundown (night): Wednesday, 1/2/2008

Yes, Jarrod was there Saturday night. I asked him if he saw himself in the AZ video from the other day - that he's now famous on YouTube.

It's downright cold outside right now. Must be windchill because it's low 20s. Been flurrying all day, too.

Enjoy tonight!

Not sure if it's just part of the joke, but are people really complaining?

I think it's inevitable that people are going to complain no matter what you do (can't please everyone). I think he's mostly referring to the folks that can't ski the bumps.

It's all very much a joke, at least I hope so... So your support for the bumps people...

Of course he is. :roll:

Learn to ski bumps, folks. It will make you a better skier.

I had a similar experience at Berkshire East. The guy was still heated after I tried to explain BEasts approach to grooming and that many skiers actually enjoy such conditions.

Sounds like last night when a couple of guys asked me if we were done grooming yet at Sundown. Then they proceeded to complain that the ungroomed trails were bumpy. Having not seen in person what they were complaining about, I can't comment for sure... but I know at that time that Gunbarrel, Stinger, Temptor and Exhibition had all just been groomed.
