I can stay out for a couple of hours...
Nice! Looking forward to discussing politics with you... ;)

What will you be sliding on?

You're right!

Everything is a go, I'll be there! :D I may only last a couple of runs trying to keep up with Jim, but I'll be there ;)

I'm stoked, can't wait to meet some more of the AZ crew! :beer:

I'm going to have to do something to dispel this nasty rumor that I ski folks into the ground because I'm here thinking about how much I've mellowed over the past few years. I doubt I'll be able to ski everyone in a group this large to exhaustion.

Now if you showed up alone like Greg did last season, well...

So there's strength in numbers?? ;)

I'm gonna be beat no matter who I ski with. I still fee like I haven't gotten into ski shape yet this season. I can barely handle more than a few hours at my local 600' vert hill. ;) At least we'll be meeting up with you after you've been skiing for a couple of hours... :)

Jim - I'll leave it to you to plan some group runs. Perhaps we can find some nearby each other - some for those that want to bump and some for groomer fans, but each terminating at the same lift. You know the mountain well, so hopefully we can somewhat ski as a group without necessarily skiing on the same trails. Or perhaps we'll all take some cruisers together and then break off into groups based on trail preference. Any good bump runs forming?

Looks like it's going to be a decent turnout. Others are welcome. And Hunter on a weekday? Awesome! Pray for snow this weekend.

There's a B mogul event this weekend...they started setting up the bump course 2 weekends ago and I spent some time skiing it in this past weekend. Nice bump lines, with a fair amount of icy troughs to deal with too. The course will be available to the public on Monday so we can check that out.

Of course, runs like Upper Crossover and Lower K which are never groomed will be bumped up. And I always have my little spots to find lower angle bumps off on the corners of Hellgate and Minya.

bring it on. I'm dying to get some real bumping in. Locally has been a nice treat lately but it only leaves you wanting more.
