Pat - Suck it up and get contacts. I've had them since I was 16 and you really do get over the creepiness quickly. I can't see past about 6-8" from my face without them and there's no way I'm skiing in glasses. Be a man, sack up, and see again!

Agreed. Don't be a P----!

But I did dabble in the bottom bumps. Last run of the night, I hit 8-10 of them successively. By about 7PM, I had to bail.

Carrie, good for you. I love the new mantra!

Nice job Steve, but what, no AZ shout out? :lol: Also found this article which mentions the Gunny bumps:

Good exposure for the mountain!

Am I the only one who cracked up when the woman said, It was a dumper?
Sorry, but phrazes like that send me back to jr high school in my head.

I really love the vibe you guys have a bout Sundown. We have a similar vibe about our local hills, which carries us through some really bad skiing weather.
Keep up the good vibe!

Dotty may quite possibly have been talking about Brian's spread eagle attempts.

Yup..... Jr High.
Ain't it good to stay young in our middle aged years?

I pulled off a few dumper airs for you guys last night, but no one had the camera going... :roll:

As usuall, great time skiing with everyone last night. I just wish my legs could of held out longer. I skied the afternoon session with Powhunter, 03Jeff and JohnyPoach and had a blast. Steve was killing it, and Jeff was skiing really smooth in the gunny bumps. JP was actually taking it kind of easy for JP. My first couple of runs were pretty rough and then JP gave me some of his sage advice...."ski with your knees closer together and go faster!". It seemed to help but also made for some nice crashes over the next couple of runs. I felt like I was skiing pretty well for the first couple of hours. I was even getting the balls to just let my skis run in the last section of bumps. By the time I hooked up with the night crew my best runs were behind me and I was just doing my best to keep up with you guys. Greg, Gary and Mike were all killing it out there last night and it was just fun to watch.

You've come a long way, Tim. Like I said last night, you're better than 75% of the rest of the shlubs out there trying that run. Nice job skiing the heart of the mogul field. Keep at it! :beer:

If you saw me earlier I would have been better than 77% of those shlubs.

Had the opportunity to, but I decided to stay home and drink vodka instead. :lol: Firm icy bumps, I'd imagine. This weekend looks good. mondeo is probably there now.

powhunter · Mar 3, 2009

Didn't ski the bumps. Too sore.

Got out for a night session with mdh from 8 to 10. Legs sore, but managed to lap Gunny quite a few times. Runs were far from pretty due to both dead legs and variable conditions. Windblown refresh on very top, quite scratchy/firm/scraped off wherever exposed to wind or flattened by boarders, rest was variable. Still fun, all in all.
