Night Skiing Dark Areas

[severine]

Sundown has one notorious spot for bad lighting on Nor'easter, right after the start of the bumps by the sun deck. Of course last season, they had a lot of dark spots when N'E was having that lighting issue. I recall one of the lines on Temptor have an annoying dark spot too. Overall though, not too bad on the lighting and a fun place to rip bumps at night.

i remember a time when the bumps were on Nor'Easter and I was trying to get to Temptor by taking the narrow path to the left of the bumps...with no lighting on that bottom half of Nor'Easter. It was pretty dark that night and I was sure I was going to kill myself; couldn't see a thing!

For the most part, though, the lighting is usually pretty good at Sundown. In the past, I've used clear-lensed goggles, but last season I found that I also liked amber at times. I've heard blue is good but haven't tried them yet.

Then you need a brighter light. If my bike headlight can illuminate enough of the road while I'm riding 20MPH I think it'll be fine for skiing.

I've seen videos of people skiing at night with head lamps on the internet, so it must be possible. The internet knows all. 8)

It is possible. Go for it. Just sayin it wasn't very effective for me.

At the Kancamagus Ski Slope in Lincoln, NH one of the trails is not lit and I use my headlamp on it, it works well!

did a lot of excellent night skiing at King Pine, which is a great deal for families.....and of course made thousands of laps skiing the massive vertical at the mighty Yawgoo.....:lol:

Oddly and quite amazingly I have never been night skiing at Wa Wa....

Hope to fix that this year....working in Lincoln RI now, need to pack the gear and head up after work some night.....

Are both very dangerous and annoying. Of the 2 places I ski at night Jiminy Peak is very well lit, West Mt. has dark spots.

How about where you night ski?

See I disagree, I think Jiminy has a lot of night terrain, but I find it poorly lit in many places.

berkshire east is really well lit exept for two on outback near the cliffs at the bottom and the first sharp turn at the top.
