Date(s) Skied: Sunday, 11/25/2007, 9:00 am - 2:50 pm
Resort or Ski Area: Hunter Mountain, New York
Conditions: Manmade powder, bumps, hardpack. Bluebird sunny, cool, no wind.
Trip Report: Left the house right at 6:30 and made good time pulling into the ski area at 8:25. Unexpectedly met koreshot in the lot and agreed to meet at five fingers at 10 am. Got my pass, booted up and was off. I was unusually calm and mellow this morning. Normally, this early in the season, I'm pretty amped up and spazzed about skiing.
First few runs were meant to get my feet turning again. The T2B option was the normal mainline (Hellgate, 7th and Kennedy). Met up with koreshot and buddy Suda (sp?) as well as kingslug and co. at 10 am. Eventually saw Jim and son, Peter, as well as buddy Karl who I hadn't skied with since December 2004 when he and Jim humbled me for a day. I knew after that day that Hunter produced some ripping skiers. Today reinforced that yet again.
Met up with 180 and a few others in that crew around 11 am. We just lapped the mainline and I had a ton of fun trying to keep up with Jim, Karl and 180. koreshot seemed to be having a lot of fun on his first day out, but he boogied as we went in for lunch around 12:35. I was psyched that his buddy, Suda, hung with us for the rest of the day. He seemed to be having a really good time and actually kept skiing with Jim and Peter after I decided to quit at 2:50. I think I may have talked him into logging in here.
Hellgate had some bumps (and a rock garden) on the turn and along the right fenceline. The rest was hard pack with push piles later in the day. More bumps showed up skier's left of lower Hellgate under the quad. A really nice, but short line showed up on 7th from the top of midstation.
All in all a great day. Good to see kingslug again who seems to be definitely getting that short turning thing going. He probably made 2-3X as many turns today compared to the first time I skied with him. :lol:
A really great day. Split shortly after 3 pm, rolled in a bit after 5 pm to a home cooked meatloaf dinner with the family. Life definitely is good.
Vid coming...
