I find it humours that one would post about others skiing prowess.

What I find humorous is people who crack on a place like Sundown that can't even handle skiing the bumps there.

 

[SkiDork]

Why care about another persons skiing unless you are sleeping with them.

Ty gets pissed when I comment on her skiing... So I guess that's out the window too...

Why does a person have to be a mogul expert of for that matter a skiing expert to have an opinion on a mountain or anything else? I find it funny how forums, and I'm not only saying AZ, but forums in general, that when there is a disagreement, different point of view, etc... Someone usually comes in and challenges someone else to a ski off, ridicules another persons abilities, etc.... Does this make one or the other right? Do you have to be an expert to see a "mountain" is a molehill, and please, I'm not saying this about Sundown, just in general.

I think he rode with me. Which makes him a completely two-faced tool, the conversation on the chairlift was very polite. Especially seeing how he was judging my skiing ability based on flats drills, not railing groomers or actually skiing bumps.

For the sake of your honor and the honor of all CLITS you have to challenge him to a ski off.

 

[Vortex]

Not sure you if you are going at me of not Greg, but I probably deserve it.

I have never been big on Ct threads, so I don't go in them.:idea:

You put it up to a poll and people voted. Kind of a closed case. Have fun make turns. Not much for the have and have not approach.

 

[Puck it]

Don't feed into the Sundown hate. I would bet most of the haters can't ski worth shit. In fact, I know that's true in at least a few cases.

I hope you are not talking about me!

Never said Bump Mecca of the East, just Southern New England. You're down to two quotes.

And the other two quotes are from people who have never even been there...

Along with the guy posting the quotes....

 

[bvibert]

btw, i left the shovel i was using on temptor. its about halfway down on skiers left.

sorry, i just totally forgot about it. i dont think brian was too happy with me.

No problem, it's all good. I was just busting your chops...

 

[andyzee]

Not arguing with you guys, just responding to this:

Dude they go north when they can. I think it's pretty cool they have that to play around on in their backyard. Nobody is holding Sundown up as the bump mecca of the East.

You certainly don't have to be any sort of accomplished skier to form an opinion about a place. Opinions are like asshole, everyone has one. However, most of the haters have never even been here, or haven't been in many years and don't know of the recent advancements to the terrain (bumps, park, snow making) so I'm not sure how they can form any sort of valid opinion anyway.

I've skied with a lot of AZers, probably well over 100. Four out of what I would consider the top five bump skiers here have traveled from out of state to check out Sundown. Most have been back multiple times. The fifth one is already part of the Sundown crew. Now if you're a groomed trail "expert", or insist on powder or trees, or massive vertical and ass-clenching pitch, then Sundown is certainly not right for you. But I can guarantee that anyone here that picks a sunny warm spring day and rips bumps with the Sundown crew for an afternoon will leave the place feeling that they put in a hard day of skiing.

Do you have to be an expert to see a "mountain" is a molehill, and please, I'm not saying this about Sundown, just in general.

Yes you are.

For the sake of your honor and the honor of all CLITS you have to challenge him to a ski off.

I know you're kidding, but this demonstrates precisely what the Sundown crew is not. We just like to ski moguls, and we're all of varying ability. No egos here (well, expect for 2knees :razz. Any new skier that just wants to improve in the bumps is welcome to join us. We offer each other advice and encouragement, and often times we give props to each other in threads here afterward. We've even been ridiculed for that.

I hope you are not talking about me!

Nope. We all know you're the cat's ass. You never let us forget it.

 

[campgottagopee]

Attention Sundown Crew----get thicker skin, I ski at Greek and get my balls busted all the time. Who cares, it's skiing, right????

 

[andyzee]

Yes you are.

Now now, don't be putting words in my mouth or be pretending to be a mind reader. I truly did me in general on all counts. See too much of this practice all over the place, actually there was a nice episode on South Park that brought this across very good.

Hunter skier here.... I hear ya...

Wow. I don't think that I have been as arrogant to say anything like that. I don't think I have ever commented on my skiing abilities like this. I meant that none of you have skied with me except WWF-VT this year.

Trust me. Most of us aren't really all that bothered by this. Like I said I find it humorous. It would certainly be interesting to see who's "writing checks their skills can't cash" (love that one, Pat!) though...

Please list all these other "molehills" that get hammered to the extent of Sundown.

Yup, and we carry the "pride flag" D. :flag:

I'm gonna make a solo run over there some tues---looks like it's only a little over an hr for me from Virgil.....eyup.

on here?

can't recall one incident. Where as people busting Sundowns skiers stones is a fairly regular occurrence. It's also pretty much one way. I don't see the Sundown skiers actively starting threads to bust on other mountains and those who enjoy it.

Are there more threads about Sundown than perhaps any other mountain? Yes. Function of having a very passionate group of locals down there. Why people feel the need to rib that fairly frequently I really don't understand.

that hurts man!

The ignorance from the haters is hilarious. I can't wait to see what they come up with next. :lol:
