Just as long as it's a small to medium sized half pipe.

World Cup Run!!!!!!
I heard they're going to turn Gunny into one huge super pipe next week. They just need to blow a little more snow first.
I stand corrected. Thanks.
Come try your luck on a world cup bump run. http://www.whiteface.com/events/freestyle/index.php

It's true. Sundown would then have everything. They would be catering to every niche in the ski world. I do think they need to open a tree run or two with snowmaking on it as well.

I get a kick out of the sundown threads/reports because they read like Homer as the food critic.
"This gets my lowest rating ever. Seven thumbs up!"

If they did that they would beat Killington in having their Halfpipe up and operational.

I'm with 2knees on this one. It would be great if you came down HPD. We need some ANUS representation anyway. :beer:

I'm actually considering it, before you even mentioned it. As much as a spectator as anything else, but I'd be sure to ski the course after they're done with it. I have done BMMC, which is WC pitch and kickers, just not length. Heck, Gunny might be the same pitch as the WC event in Finland this year, definitely was longer.

If this weren't a family site, I'd bring in the Team America reference.you have not. you're almost always good sport.
You did however invent the CLITS moniker.
Also, no access to YouTube to do it properly at work.
well, it sure as hell wouldnt be as a competitor unless you've been a) sandbagging like crazy and b) living a hidden life as a potential olympian! :lol:
I am pretty certain there are rules on the pitch. I dont think Gunny could qualify. If BMMC is the bump event up here it is a joke. Just saying I am embarrased with the product supplied for that contest.

There are rules, but from what I understand Finland had a rough start to the season snow-wise and just couldn't put together a conforming course.

So after reading this thread, I think I need to make a trip out to ski some moguls at Sundown one night. They actually do look fairly easy (a good place to start on them). I haven't tried the moguls on 10th at Wawa yet, how would they compare?

Fairly easy? Just because they're seeded doesn't make them easy. They actually ski in more like a natural bump run, and the steeps of the Temptor headwall aren't too shabby either. We're no wimps.
(But in all seriousness, the Temptor bumps can get a little tricky, tend to end up with a lot of wall bumps from skiers and snowboarders side slipping down the entire run, and being SNE tend towards the icy/hardpack side. Gunny bumps in March are a good place to learn, or the flatter, more regular bumps on Nor'Easter and Exhibition)
LMFAO-- Best post (and true-for which I accept some minimal responsibility) in this whole semi-moronic thread-- a thread I read and posted in nonetheless....priceless
