[jarrodski]

So....let's get started then, shall we? But first you need to come out for a day and see if you could even hang:

After all, it's only fair that if you're going to trash a place, you should ski it first, no?

have I trashed it? nope. it seems your missing the word COULD....as in, if I wanted to....which I dont. Like I said, I think its cool you guys like the place so much being that its small.....and I just really wanted to know if I'm the only one who skips them. It wasnt intended for you to take personally.....

Generally not. I have a few times. I often skip a lot of the reports for the areas I'm very unlikely to go to.

Today's Sundown TR was a great read. Highly recommended.

Nope don't normally read the Sundown reports, nothing against Sundown, nothing against the CLITS(great group). It's just that as much as I wouldn't mind going there the distance doesn't make sense for me to travel to Sundown. Don't ski it, don't read the reports. Simple as that.

Do I need to ski a mountain to read reports about it, no. But let's face facts, more chance I'm going to read a report about Whistler or Alta then Sundown. Not putting it down and happy the CLITS are enjoying it, just don't have as much interest reading about it as I do about the bigger place. Let's move on........

you mean it was different that the other 2,653,231,678 trip reports about sundown?

absolutely, i don't think we've ever talked about spring bumps in February before.

how do you know they are all the same unless............ you have read them all

 

[BLESS]

good point. I have read some, BUT I figure since the only thing you ever hear is about "bumps" when it comes to sundown, I assumed thats what they all are. Am I wrong or are there vast reports on groomers, rollers,back country, on map & off map glades and other big time features I'm missing out on @ Sundown?

I don't report on bumps. Then again, I'm the only one on here skiing at Sundown who doesn't ski bumps, so I guess that makes me the gaper loser of the group (and therefore with less-than-worthy trip reports that are probably not likely to incite excitement nor interest in anyone). :roll:

i was kinda joking. guess ya missed that one. just being a wiseass.

So what does a hardcore big mountain skier like yourself do when you have 3-4 hours on a Saturday morning and can't make it up to VT, NH or ME to ski? Sit home on a ski forum? Hit up Yago(or whatever it is called)? While it seems Sundowns terrain is lame to a lot of the forum members here, I feel fortunate to have them close by.

 

[deadheadskier]

Probably about 75% of the TRs with video, 25% without

 

[skiadikt]

don't read them all but what impresses most is sundown's management willingness to take skier feedback seriously.
