Lots of rain, but luckily not blisteringly hot temps this weekend. Plenty of sunny bump options next week. Gonna have to make something happen.

sunday was 1/10th of an inch according to noaa. thought they might open but 1-2 inches saturday/saturday night might need some time to drain.

Oof. Mohawk is closed until the 20th. I hope Sundown doesn't decide to follow suit. Those bumps rotting in the sun all week would be a shame....

I'm thoroughly depressed that I won't be able to rack it old school at the beloved institution this weekend.

I made it out today before closing. I skied from 2-4pm. Snow was HEAVY. Bumps were super soft and forgiving. They were softer than on Wednesday. I cleared the kicker twice today....yeah! It was very slow getting to it although once off it the landing was like butter. I did the course top to bottom. It's a workout! It will be a fine line next Saturday doing warm-up runs and tiring myself out. IEither way, it's awesome. I can't wait!

Sounds delicious. I think all these posers are hoping to get more practice in on the course before the comp on the 20th. I on the other hand am preparing for the event by doing some shots of home made kahlua. :beer:
