If Sundown had a Halfpipe no one could talk any smack about it.

Only Olympic bump run in the US that I know of is at Deer Valley.

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 feel like I’d be a marked man there, but that’s ok.
speaking for myself, that couldnt be further from the truth.
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.I stand corrected. Thanks.
Come try your luck on a world cup bump run. http://www.whiteface.com/events/freestyle/index.php
I'm with 2knees on this one. It would be great if you came down HPD. We need some ANUS representation anyway. :beer:
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.

Damn, I've outted myself.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:
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.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.

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.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?
Sorry don't have any :flame: to add
I get a kick out of the sundown threads/reports because they read like Homer as the food critic.
