Chris Sullivan is GOD

PM from Chris regarding Stinger:

Yes we have about 60% of what we intend to seed complete. I have a Snow maker dedicated to that trail to keep it from piling up. Kurt will seed the reat early tonight and we will continue to make snow on the into Friday, then overnight Friday, Sat. Take it easy the first few runs They will be pretty rough under the freshies.
Snowmaking is going well we are moving onto Gunbarrel today.

By Sunday night we should have some ripper pow bumps.

I am curious if they will have everything except Gunbarrel open on Friday night. In an earlier post it said:

# I expect wall to wall Friday with a park and seeded powder bumps on stinger
# Everything but Gunny by Saturday

What do you expect for Friday's opening?

On OPENING DAY Ski Sundown will offer top to bottom skiing and snowboarding on Canyon Run, Exhibition, Nor'easter, Temptor, Stinger and Little Joe. Mogul skiing will be offered on the Stinger trail and the terrain park on Stinger will have an assortment of rails and other features for both skiers and snowboarders.

Last I knew the plan was Stinger, Temptor, Nor'easter, Canyon Run, Exhibition, Little Joe for Friday. The rest of the beginner trails on Sunnyside and off Tom's for Saturday. Gunny on Monday.

I am going to try to get up there for a little night skiing tomorrow night. It was a definite when I left the house today, but when I got home, I heard the "It's taking a little longer than expected" line from the guys putting on my siding. If they aren't done, I am not sure I want to leave with skis in hand, basically saying "I will not be home for a long time, call your friends and come back after the job foreman leaves to rob me blind"..

I hope you can make it out Steve, it would be cool to meet another AZer!

Going through my ski bag now...

I will be the dude skiing solo on Elan Magfire 78s that are too short for me, Dalbello Proton 8 boots, and saying "Are you Bvibert? Are you Greg? Are you Severine? Are you Grassi?"

 

[bvibert]

I'll probably have on my red and black shell, black pants, and white helmet (with an AlpineZone sticker on the side). Sounds like the bumps will be good so I'll most likely be on my skinny ass bump skis. If you're having trouble finding us just look for a group of posers hanging out in the bumps.

I'm still not sure exactly what time I'll be there...

Ask for 21...

Blue soft shell, grey pants and helmet, rocking some Fischer Watea 84s

At least a few of the group will have AZ stickers on their helmets, if that helps. And yeah, they'll probably be mostly hanging out at the bumps. Posers!

Ding ding ding!!!! That's us! :lol: But hell, we have fun. I'll miss you Steve as I'm skiing with the afternoon crew, probably about 3-6 pm. We gotta work in those Stinger bumps!

Gonna try for 5, myself. There better be jumps in that park, not just rails.

Honestly, Killington's been going for a month with just rails. Starting to get annoying.

I did that too last night, found a bunch of Clif bars and Fiber One bars in it!
