Sundown Wed 3/10

[madriverjack]

Who's in to rip up some of those perfect Gunny bumps? Come on let's get through the mid-week bump and go tear it up. All of you sound so sick, I think everyone should get out of the house so the rest of the family or co-workers don't catch what all of you have. I should be there around 11:00.

i have to figure out how to do this without getting fired. If i can pull that off, i'll be there. thursday looks more iffy weather wise.

do we know anybody in Lift Ops MGT that can arrange for lift 2 to run tomorrow afternoon rather than lift 1?

Um...Brian knows people. He's a supervisor in that dept. Chris Sullivan also knows people since he's pretty high up the food chain.

That said I imagine lift 1 is usually running on the slow days because for beginners it's a PITA to get to Tom's and Canyon from lift 2; whereas the more experienced skiers should be able to handle the extra distance involved in skiing Gunny from lift 1.

Something weird was going on last night on lift 1. I saw 3 people fall/get pulled off the chair right at the end of the wood load area. Not sure what it was, but eventually the guy bumping the chair was warning everyone to watch their tips when they loaded.

 

[severine]

He probably didn't do his job either with bumping or keeping the ramp maintained. If there's a problem, it's usually operator error.

he was feeling the same pain i was on monday.. as short as it is from gunny to lift 1 the snow was wet and heavy, it was a lot of work to get over there.

Left at 8:30 yesterday, still plenty skiable. Was still good around 7:30 today my last run down, Stinger was still soft at 8:15.

From walking around the base area it seemed like it firmed up really quick after the sun went down, especially in areas that weren't seeing skier traffic. There was a significant difference from when I got there around 5:15 and like 8.

I put in the request to run lift 2 tomorrow instead of 1, we'll see if it happens.

As long as I'm able to get out of work I'll be there for the afternoon session.

Gonna try and get out again for a couple of hours this evening-- yesterday afternoon/early evening was quite good. Was perfect to loosen up after sunday's beat down. Man those kickers can send you-- kind of intimidating for us vertically challenged...but-- the landings are ample, good thing.

Lift 2 would be nice....

I'm leaving in a half an hour to drop my son off at school, then pick up my buddy at 9:15. Then off to the mountain and I can wait to hit soft, tight ,sunny bumps and big kickers on GUNNY. OH MY SUNDOWN HAS NOT FAILED ME ONCE. Thank you again Sundown great job.

Shamed to admit even the middle "baby" kicker surprised me- hit it with some speed once and off I went...I may need my own "special" kicker...
