Ski Sundown 2/8/2009

[Grassi21]

Anyone? Temps are supposed to be in the low 40s. I still need to obtain executive clearance.

 

[Zand]

I think I might make an appearance Sunday night. If there's some AZers there and the nice forecast holds up, I don't see why not.

 

[gmcunni]

maybe... but i'm itching to go further north. would love to catch some 40+ degree sunshine + bumps along with some soft spring-like snow. noaa shows further north is not so sunny on Sunday. i'll chase the sunshine and might end up at ski sundown for the afternoon.

Big race on sat 2-7 GB closed. Every one parks in the industrial park down the road and busses in.

It'll depend on the temp as I come back from VT. Might do the double session, but probably not.

Hopefully on a good spring bump day in March I'll get the double with some decent sunlight left at Sundown.

looking more and more like ski sundown afternoon for me. warm and wet

 

[Grassi21]

i think i'm in for afternoon/late afternoon. looking forward to some hero bumps! 2knees!!!! where you been?

 

[Zand]

Still considering Sunday night. Basically gonna wait and see if I'll have any company. If I do go I'd like to have a few AZers to ski with and show me some good lines down Temptor haha.

:lol: Just go to the summit and take Nor'easter > Temptor. The good lines on Temotor are not difficult to find.

But in all honesty, I would wait a few weeks until Gunbarrel is seeded top to bottom and we've had a chance to ski the bumps in. The Nor'easter bumps are all whacked out right now. Still a fun as hell little run, but more of an amusement park ride than a zipperline. Temptor is short and the kickers that are still there somewhat disrupt the flow of the run. The bumps up top and big and gnarley, the bumps below the jumps are very nice, but that stretch is short.

[gmcunni]
