S'up Snow Journal...you want some of this?

Yeah...I thought so

 

[Puck it]

I never realized how flat that lrail looks. I think the Sundowners should come up to NH. and ski bumps on Flying Goose or some bumps at Cannon on Avalanche or Paulie's Or Hardscrabble. Cannon does not seed any of their bumps. Home grown NH bumps.


Got bumps!!!! Naturally!!!!!!

Dude they go north when they can. I think it's pretty cool they have that to play around on in their backyard. Nobody is holding Sundown up as the bump mecca of the East.

Actually..... half the bump runs at sunapee are in bad shape, goose and cataract have flat and slick spot between the bumps, some closer to boilerplate with piles of snow inbetween. Only good runs were lift line, some glades and a "natural zone" near the protection of some trees.

If the crew and volunteers over at sundown are getting out the shovels and dusting them over with snow guns, I'm giving the place a serius thought about heading down in the next day or two.

It was a joke. Who cares if the bumps are seeded or not.


Com'on man!!!!!!!!

Sorry dude :lol:

i'm w/ rivah. doesn't make sense to drive long distances for night skiing. not like you're gonna find any tree skiing. it's gonna be mostly groomers that hopefully have been resurfaced and a bump run or two.

being from nyc, i've done mtn creek. you can do it in about 75 min but if you're leaving late afternoon/early evening, rush hour traffic could get it to the 10+hr you're talking about. shawnee and the pa areas are a little longer.

from nyc, that mecca of eastern bump skiing, ski sundown, is about 2 1/2 hrs plus you get the added bonus of possibly running into some of the biggest names in eastern bump skiing. ;-) never been there myself but someday i hope to make the trek to the high holy land ...

A good option for those that don't have access to the bump mecca of the east- Sundown obviously.

Today was to be a human grooming session with Grassi21. Got to the lot and ready to head ot the lodge when I noticed this Asian family with a young cute as hell little boy. Mom had bright colored Full Tilts, K2 Mambas and mogul pants. Nice!

Took a few runs and eventualy met up with Grassi21 after a few runs. Snow in the bumps was a little firm, but very edgeable. The upper 1/3 of the moguls are nice, the 2nd 3rd are a little funky in the steeper section still. It then got really funky with small shark fin bumps. The last 1/4 of the run seemed to be newly seeded last night and while chunky piles, they were very soft.

Chris and I just kept hammering the top and them slowly section the bottom half, breaking up chunks as we came across them. At times, it felt like our effort were in futility, but by the end of the day, when the snow got really soft, we discovered we really made a difference. By the end of the day, the whole field was skiable. Not rippable at the bottom but still skiable. The top 1/3 has beautiful zig-zags setting up. A few times when the sun broke out and the whole field lit up before us, it was like a work of art. The bumps are seeded uber tight, but if the top 1/3 is any indication, the run will ski in with rad zippers all over. Right now, the seeding is almost down to midstation. One or two more nights will get us to the last little drop off. About 60% of the trail's width is currently moguls. If the snow forecasted for Sunday happens, those bumps are going to set up beautifully.

Chris and I toasted the day over a beer outside. I think it was Bart the ripper who showed up and his wife. There was another chick up on Gunny killing it too. I truly believe the mighty Sundown is going to become the mogul mecca for SNE and the tri-state area. We're in for a good next few weeks. Nice skiing with ya Chris. You were manhandling those Gotamas in the bumps just fine. Cool set-up you got there!

Don't feed into the Sundown hate. I would bet most of the haters can't ski worth shit. In fact, I know that's true in at least a few cases.

Never said Bump Mecca of the East, just Southern New England. You're down to two quotes.

This thread has potential...

I still LOL @ people getting all bothered about Sundown.

 

[Vortex]

Let the CT guys rip. Have fun. Still don't care.

We did something similar at Pats before. It is what its and and enjoy it. Why care about another persons skiing unless you are sleeping with them.

I find it humours that one would post about others skiing prowess. Just leaves you open to be tortured when you suck out there yourself in public. We all have bad days and good days.
