Depends on your point of reference. I grew up in southeastern Michigan and lived 15 years in DC so being within an hour of some decent hills is welcome. I wouldn't tag it with 'awesome,' though.

Conditions at Sundown today were better than most places up north today

haha... it's what's here.... Kicks the crap out of not skiing. And, if i do say so myself, there are plenty of really good days to be had.
For most, local skiing serves as a place to teach the family, hone your skills before the big vacation or weekend excursion and for me, a place to go every single day because it's what i needed to do... Still to do to this day even.
Complaining does point out some obvious faults of the posters... ugh...

Nothing like sliding down 500 vertical feet of flat, groomed, ice! And the powder is AWESOME! Nothing beats 3 inches of heavy wet snow that's already melted away before the end of the day!
On a serious note, the end of season Free Day at Mohawk is always something to look forward to. Also, CT is probably the triple chair capital of the world. 5 at Mohawk, 3 at Sundown, 2 at Southington, and 2 at Powder Ridge. That's 12 triples out of 17 total aerial lifts in CT.

HAD A GREAT DAY at sundown today. Started as frozen sugar fast and edgeable and by afternoon it turned to a nice layer of mashed potatoes for playful fun. The bumps are coming along and I had fun working in a line (still needs work), and the trails were covered very nicely!

Fact is those shots from Sundown (and many others in the past) make me consider it as an alternative to Mt. Snow some days. It was WAY better yesterday than anything in VT. Those seeded bumps will be rounded off and beautiful by the end of this weekend while at many VT resorts there wont be a skiable bump line to be found.

It's his alter ego.
What's so terrible about them? They are a couple of days old, in a few more days troughs will form, before you know it they will be VWs. I know they look funny at first, but they do end up being quite fun. If you won't take my word for it then consider that every spring we get a whole entourage of bump skiers from Killington and other places to come down to ski in our little bump competition. Everyone always has a ton of fun, despite being at a small hill in CT. The only complaint I've heard is that our course is too long. Those bumps, although on a different trail, start off looking just like those in the picture.
I don't think so.. But it is kinda peculiar that I hadn't noticed HS around until snowlover got banned... :lol:
