[bigbog]

I thought this thread was already in existence...but to restate...Gold in NASTAR this year!

 

[gorgonzola]

Hey Greg, when do the bump runs generally start forming at Sundown?

 

[mondeo]

anybody have a chrome trailer hitch?

I have one that used to be chrome. :-o

Goals:
60 days
5 new mountains
Learn how to do a helicopter, preferably working up to a 360 mute grab.
Make second day of BMMC.
Meet new people, both actually meeting people on the board and otherwise.
Hit up a Mogul Logic camp.

As a specific subset of the meet new people goal, meet women ages 22-28 who also happen to be good bump skiers and are neither attached nor of the other persuasion. This I expect to be the loftiest goal for the season.

aim lower.

I believe in stretch goals. And superstretch goals.

I thought the same thing at first; we did have a Technique Goals thread, but this thread is more general than just technique related goals. That's why I allowed this thread to live.

Hey Greg, when do the bump runs generally start forming at Sundown?

It varies. They seeded Nor'easter in the middle of December last year. It all depends on how cold it gets. They will not seed bumps until Tom's is open so there are enough ways down for beginners/intermediates. With them starting with bumps on Temptor, maybe they'll vary that plan and seed earlier since they'll have both Canyon run and Nor'easter for the newbies.

Nah, I got it. But I see no reason not to poke fun at myself right back. Maybe I'm the one that should've included a smiley.

Putting in a serious note here, the reality is that I've got a lot of work to do this season to get myself even close to the level of someone like powbmps or some of the guys that I've seen at Killington that I'd have to at least be competitive with. Of the goals I stated, second day of BMMC is by far the most ambitious, and drive a couple of the others (mainly the 60 days.)

 

[mattchuck2]

Ski a ton, drink a ton afterward, and repeat.

Yep.

And to take that same sequence out West for a week or so.

 

[skiing is life]

360 mute grab and to 360 onto a rail. and a plain old 540:beer:

 

[mattchuck2]

Ummmm . . . 360 onto a rail might have disasterous consequences . . . You might want to try 270 or 450 . . . .

Unless you're a snowboarder . . . Then carry on. . . .

 

[riverc0il]

Ski Smuggs (damn it, this is the season!)
T2B on Washington
More days at Stowe and Bush (need to explore more at both these areas)
Find one or two more ski partners (loosing my current Jay partner in crime for 3 months this season)
More vacation and mid-week pow days than last year

Stay healthy and enjoy a full season of pain free skiing. Oh and actually enter the sundown bump or bust contest this year. Do they have an over 30 category? :wink:
