Still hoping for that Sundown-Powder Ridge connection. I'd love a combined season pass - 20 minute drive to Powder Ridge compared to 50 minutes to Sundown.

My fear is though that Powder Ridge was suck some resources out of Sundown. But, if they seed a nice bump run at Powder Ridge, I can easily hit it up after work...

I doubt this will happen, but it would be cool if the Stinger and Sensation Terrain Parks were all moved to Powder Ridge. Sundown could dedicate Stinger as their bump run.

Haven't been there in forever. Yeah - pitch might be an issue. But making PR the destination terrain park for the area sounds like a good idea, and then bump up a bunch of stuff over at Sundown! :lol: Dreaming I know...

they were pushing their park and pipe pretty hard before they closed. I remember hearing alot of radio ads for their INSANE TERRAINNNNNNNNNNNN.

it would be a great idea though. Give us Stinger and they can have an entire ski area for parks.

I hope Bob doesn't end up running it. The rumor is no Sundown expansion if that happens. Although the Sundown expansion is looking pretty likely.

Skied and snowboarded there a bunch of time in my Quinnipiac days. I hope they open again; our house is only 15-20 minutes from there. It would be really easy to head there right after work for some turns.

I really should. I can see the lights from the road my office is on when I pull into work in the AM. It's probably like 10 minutes down the road...if that.
