Picked up the boys at 3pm. Sunny and 35. Nice drive. When did Route 8 become 65MPH? Did I miss this last year? We made all the lights through Torrington which is always the sign of a good day. Arrived to a beautiful sunset and falling temperatures. It was soon 20 degrees and I was a little under dressed. We made sure we saw Chris Sullivan. Spencer thanked him for the brochure, but Shea wanted to know why he did not make it. He is the only family member never making a ski brochure.
Noreaster was firm, but the lines are good to go. We were hoping for a overnight dusting, but none was there. I spoke to Chris about some strategies for making them better.
1. Put brushes in
2. Make snow during the day and allow the bumpers to ski them in.
3. clean up the bottom of the course, it is really uneven.
I discovered Sundown's version of a powder day, waiting for the rope drop after evening grooming. The three of us were able to make it 1,2,3 down for first tracks down the park. Skied a few runs next to the race course. Why are they not separated from the public the whole way. I almost hit several racers who were not too happy.
Sorry to not see any AZ'ers, but the kids had a blast. We still love the Sundown vibe. Left around 8:30 and hit Friendly's. Love those sundaes!
