Sundown sucks and no one cares about them.

 

[Highway Star]

Sundown is perfect. Why would they need to answer questions?

+1 - a repeat of last year would be fine by me.

Seriously, I think we know the deal at least in terms of what's important to most of us. Bumps on Stinger to start, move the N'E/Temptor once Gunny opens, bumps on Gunny after racing (read: another sick spring). Looking forward to it. We should be under 3 months away now!!!

pssst

Master Plan renderings would be cool to see. Wasn't the rumor that they were looking to double in size ultimately? Might be the only area in the country to have that kind of ambition.

I did send Chris a PM to see what was up. No specifics in regards to the expansion, but they are positioning themselves to handle increased business. An excerpt from his PM

Most of what we have done in preparation for expansion will go unnoticed by most folks. We have done some things to up-date the snow-making infrastructure that will make it easier to go bigger when the time comes. More importantly we have upped our year round staff to include another lift mechanic, facilities maintenance engineer and a general maintenance guy. All have been added with the thought that there will soon be more to do.
We spent a lot of time and money on renovating the old section of the lodge, bar and Welcome center. The Welcome Center will have 50% more work stations in it. It’s not something anyone would care about but necessary for growth.
Our maintenance shop has also been updated. We got rid of any iffy equipment and tools and replaced them with new stuff. Again nobody gives a crap about this kind of stuff but it is important to preparedness and success.

They do still plan on opening with bumps on Stinger, weather dependent.

I love Sundown. I just think they could ever so slightly improve their trail and lift system. I think Highway Star may be able to help here.

They should turn it on for this weekend so the people who aren't at the brew fest can see everyone else having fun. :beer:
