Date(s) Skied: Wednesday, 1/2/2008 , 6:10 pm - 10:10 pm
Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown, New Hartford, Connecticut
Conditions: Icy bumps. Cold - temps in the low teens falling into the single digits, light breeze.
Trip Report: Got to the mountain in the early 6 o'clock hour which was the goal. Took a few runs on the pretty well set up bumps. Saw Grassi and skied with him a few runs. Eventually Nor'easter was roped so they could groom Temptor and Upper Nor'easter. So we had the pleasure of taking some turns on the totally untracked cordoroy on Canyon run with Grassi and MrMagic. Despite how much I love bumps and ungroomed terrain, this run was extremely fun.
Then met up with Brian, the Evils and buddy Nelson. We took another run on Canyon and then off to the sundeck. Beetlenut soon arrived. Great to me you! Another accomplished bump skier who seemed to enjoy our little haunt. 2knees wandered in sometime around 8 pm. Spent the night with the crew hammering the bumps. Nice job Tim and Grassi for banging out many runs on a very challenging Nor'easter. Eventually, the crew dissolved, but Brian, 2knees and I made it to the end grabbing a final chair at 10 pm on the nose.
Particularly entertaining was the tool kid at the end of the night doing donuts in the parking lot and crashing his car into a snowbank. I was tired on the ride home. One of those rides where I didn't even turn on the radio and just zoned out. Cold night tonight. Sipping on a generous helping of rum to warm me up and put me solidly into sleep mode.
Thanks for the company everybody!
