Was only able to take a few runs before work today. Met up with greg for first chair. Sundown blew the hell outta the place.Excellent coverage everywhere! The groomers were pretty much packed pow. Bumps were seeded on gnareaster.. (disclaimer) If you plan on hitting them today full body armor is neccesary! Seriously they need to be skied..We slipped them a few times, and the tacky snow being blown on them, coupled with more traffic will shape them up. Good seeing skidmarks there as well. Greg took a few pics..

BIG improvement already. Actually becoming fun with a ripper line at the top. Guns are off.. With more traffic we'll have powder bumps soon!

They put a ton of work in on the lights over the summer. The lighting in general should be much better this season.

I'll probably be skiing tomorrow night too, you know where I'll be.

Yeah. Yeah. Heard that all last year. You gotta pull the mondeo approach. VT on weekends, Sundown midweek.

BTW, what other mountain consistently has seeded bumps on opening day? Lemme answer that for you: None!
