Weather.com is no longer showing rain for Friday afternoon. Think the bumps will soften up at all if it's 40 and cloudy?

Any reports from Sundown for Thursday. How are the moguls on Gunbarrel:spread:

Icy. They'll be fine once it warms up.

Gunny bumps are a weird mix of surfaces - ice, wind-loaded powder, LSGR. Without any rain, I doubt they'll soften much at all. Yesterday was sunny and low 40's and they were still pretty firm. They might soften a bit, but don't expect slush piles. The bumps are pretty small right now (Monday's powder filled in a lot of the troughs) so they need some warmth and ripper traffic. By Sunday afternoon, they should be primed.

Group Rate: $40 - 8 Hour Ticket

Okay - let's get the show on the road here. We can get a group rate of $40 for an 8 hour ticket if we have 10 or more people needing lift tickets. 40 bucks for lapping a 1,600 foot long mogul field is a helluva deal. We would have to all meet a predetermined time and have cash in hand so I can make a single transaction. I propose we meet at high noon at the bear right as you walk in. If you plan to come, please reply here with the number of lift tickets you would need.

I wish I could make it, but I'm definitely out. Going to be in Maine at the in-laws.

Looking forward to the video.

If today is any indication then tomorrow should be great!! I'm pumped to get out there. I should be there and ready to go by about noon.

I am hoping to be on the hill by noon. One problem is that I don't have any light weight ski pants. If I get to warm in those ski pants I may have to bust out some wind pants:-o

I'm thinking of skiing in the nylon hiking pants that I normally wear under my snow pants. I took two runs down gunny today and was sweating my ass off with what I was wearing, a thin long sleeve shirt and fleece on top and my hiking pants with uninsulated ski pants on the bottom.

Aiming for noon. Hope to survive till 5pm or so. We'll see how that goes... :lol:

Lots of ugliness according to the radar north of us. Hopefully that moves through overnight. Looking at 56 degrees and mostly cloudy tomorrow. I'll take it. EPIC moguls!
