Great conditions and no crowds at Hunter yesterday. Like always, had fun skiing with you guys. Still feeling real sore form skiing all week, but will be limping out to Sundown later this morning.

Free to Season Pass holders from other mountains.

Indeed. You definitely were the star of yesterday's feature presentation. I'm not sure, but did you flop over after stopping uphill from me at the 0:12 mark? If you listen carefully to the audio, I think you can hear scraaaape......thump....oof. :lol: Unfortunately, I panned away at that point to film the trail further down so there's no video confirmation.

That was a voluntary flop. Legs were gassed yesterday. Hurting a bit this morning.

I was real into the Cliff bumps. Upper Crossover and Lower K was VW sized funk. Plus I'm not very manly and freely admit it. I freeze on steep bump runs. Gunny hangover sounds about right. Claire's was a lot of fun. A few 6-8 bump zippers, sweeping push piles, soft mushy snow on a firm base, steep. Tons of fun. Ike was mowed flat. Setting up some sort of race fencing I assume, that ran from Hellgate, down Broadway and down Ike. Not sure if that mogul comp is happening. I thought it was tomorrow.

Had a fun time charging the mountain at speed today. Wanted to poach 'purna, but the sallies with me weren't up to the task. :razz:

Come on up and we'll hit the big lines together.

Eventually tried the bumps on Upper Crossover. Skied fine, but funky, big and that run is steep. None of us were that into it. I tried Lower K. Similar result. Forgot how insanely steep that is.

Glad to hear you and others felt that way. I couldn't even come close to looking like I belonged on that run last weekend.

Lower K I found more enjoyable, but more in the way that a steep (and bumped up) chute is enjoyable than the way that a rhythmic bump line is enjoyable. If you can link turns down Lower K with bumps that big, you can flat out ski.

Usually, lower K does not get a rythmic line, but this year we have had a couple of great lines. And the steepness really makes it fun.

And the steepness really makes it fun.

And humbling for hackjob posers like me. :lol:

Found some cool aerial shots from that day:

'Purna was totally skiable...
