That would be a bonus, but I'll take a few runs down Stinger if I need to.

I sent Chris and Jarrod the suggestion. How about something just up and to the right of the big air jump? They could run the fence with a break for access from Exhibition for those coming down Temptor. Plus being right under the chair, all the spectators could laugh at us crusty old posers as we wreck. :lol:

It's always good entertainment watching people air it out while on the lift. We did see a kid on twin tips pull a backflip yesterday on the smaller jump on Stinger.

In.

Would have been in this past weekend if not for the Pinewood Derby.

Will DH04 be recovered in time to go big again? The man has a pair...

Yay!

Looks like we might actually be able to make it. Was speaking to Iceman last night, and he said he's got some sort of Apex event he really wants to attend (which he missed last year because it was the same day as the Easterns) on Saturday 3/21. So he'll have no problem missing both days of the Whaleback spring shootout (sorry Evan). So that means:

1) We'll be home on LI for 3/21

2) Looking for some place to ski on 3/22

Therefore, the obvious answer is: Lets go to Sundown!!!


Looking forward to meeting all you foks, and having a good time.

PS - I'm thinking of actually entering, what the hell, I wouldn't look any worse than some of the other folks I saw in the video LOL... Its all good!!!

Humpty out... <== readers of KZone would understand that

Better be two kickers; Gunny's got the length for it. I'd actually sorta like to see the bottom jump be a nice big table top. Some 720s would be cool. But then again, I'm not looking for downhill04 to get another concussion. Be interesting to see if they use the full length for the competition, too.

Count me in! If there is this 40 foot table top at the bottom I will throw out an attempt at a 720. I haven’t landed one in years but it should be like riding a bike. Wait let me double check my health insurance is paid before launching myself again.

One month to go. Word on the street (or chairlift, as the case may be) is a bunch of the Killington regulars are going to come down for a warmup to BMMC.

Gonna be insane.

That's awesome. Hopefully this will result in many more mogul skiers discovering Sundown as a great bump option right in their back yards...
