I'm going to be out on Temptor tonight, shovel in hand, trying to dig in a decent line for the left course. I already PM'd most of the Sundown mogul crew, but if anyone else wants to head to the institution tonight and help ski in this new line, it would be appreciated.
What time are you headed over Greg ?
Gonna aim for 7 pm. Jarrod is going to send a terrain attendant to the top of Temptor at 8 pm to help dig. I'll probably dig for 2 hours and then slip/ski the line for the last hour to help work it in. The more people skiing it/providing feedback the better.
how does the digging work? Hadn't heard that strategy before...
No idea. I'll figure it out tonight. :lol:
It's really the only option at this point and I anticipate only having to relocate a few mis-placed bumps at the bottom half. The top is going to need more work. Essentially I plan to simply plop piles much like they do with the groomer when they seed. I'll also try to relocate some loose snow over them and it will then be up to skier traffic to shape them. Lots of snow making up there the last several nights so there's plenty of snow. It will be either a great success or an epic failure, but either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. My back probably won't like me though. :lol:

i'm a little lost here. what are you digging? are you digging troughs? or just trying to alter the landscape or literally are you going to be hand seeding a line.
whatever the case, i really wish i could be there tonight to help but there's no way. i will, however, be there tomorrow night to armchair quaterback your work. i'm a hard critic too so dont f it up.....:razz:
You guys are bumming me out. Think positive!
Could we get some bamboo to mark where we're putting new bumps? That would probably help from a slipping/skiing in perspective.
not trying to bum you out, just dont trust you on temptor with a shovel. :lol:
somehow, it feels like i'm gonna show up tuesday and find something along these lines.
