Wasn't last year the first time they seeded bumps on gunbarrel?
If so won't they learn from their mistakes and make them better next year?
Is sundown the bump seeding capital of the east coast?
Other mountains are following sundowns lead in this endeavor -correct?
Or is there another mountain that was seeding bumps for business before sundown?

I believe either Okemo or Loon were the first mountains to seed......

I recall reading a story about a groomer from a western area, teluride maybe that came east and showed people how it was done.

UR over moderating.

no offense TB, but Skip is right. nothing is really happening here that hasnt gone on forever.

Or are you the new owner in waiting? :lol:

Disagreed. TTB was simply trying to get the conversation back on topic (and an extremely important one at that ;) ) instead of this becoming another "give Highway Star his much needed attention" thread. I didn't say anything because I've baited HS in the past. TTB is probably the most unbiased mod, and has historically urged consistency here; a thing some of us (me included) struggle with. Cut him some slack.

Not that Greg needs any backup, but I agree with this too.

Now let me get back to drooling over myself thinking about those sweet Gunny bumps...

If you were driving down the road in november and an ad came on the radio singing "Pop pop skisundown." it would make you want to go ski at ski sundown.
Besides it goes better to your bump videos then the EMO music you guys genrally put in there. :puke:

I still have no idea what you're talking about.

Just a thought for the owners of sundown for marketing.
Take the song "pop music" Convert it to "Pop, pop skisundown." Put it out there on the radio next fall and see what happens to buisness.
I would bet you would see a big increase in buisness. I for one still can't get the jingle out of my head.
