I was talking to a former teacher of mine who's into skiing last night. He typically heads north to ski on weekends and didn't seem to have too much interest in Sundown when I talked to him last fall. Last night we were talking about skiing again and he comes out with "I gotta give it to Sundown, they let trails bump up!". Apparently he went up there on a snow day when school was canceled and ripped the Gunny bumps all day. It was really great to hear more appreciation of the bump philosophy at Sundown, especially from someone who isn't part of the AZ crowd. :beer:

The word was definitely getting out last spring. Not sure how much of it is AZ, but there were several times last year I saw people I didn't recognize on bump skis there.

I forgot about that! I tried to find them on the Fox 61 Web site with no luck. I Emailed them to see if they are still available.

any chance of an "authorized" opening in the fence between temptor and Stinger? right at the end of temptor could you put in a little gate-like opening to allow people to ski over so we could catch the last big air jump?

we don't need a big gap but something that would make the skier entering from Temptor stop so as not to cause an accident skiing into somebody flying down the park.

i noticed last night small opening just past a little pine tree but i think that was too far down to hit the jump.
