Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown
Conditions: Groomed man-made, hard pack, and some loose granular
Trip Report: Since it was a slow night at Sundown, I was able to finagle my way out of work early and I got a couple of hours on the hill (my only chance to ski this week, unfortunately). After my 2 warm-ups on Tom's Treat/Papoose, I hung out on Canyon Run most of the night, alternating between the top of Nor'Easter (still set up from the skiercross last night) and the top of Canyon Run. I also tried the outer couple of columns of bumps on the skier's left on Exhibition.
I was gaper-ific, for sure. But at least I tried them. Ended the night on Temptor (which was a spectacular display of gaperness, but the only witness was one of the snow-making crew - thankfully!).
Not as happy as I was with the snow the last time I was out. More hardpack than last time, some scratchies in the middle, pretty churned up on Exhibition. Not bad, though. Beats working!
I will add this... during one of my attempts at the bumps, I was stopped on the side and one of the Guest Services people stopped to talk with me. He said he just can't figure the bumps out. I told him that my husband was a big fan, but I'm clueless as well. We both smiled, and then he skied on, continuing in the bumps with much more grace and style than I managed. Guess he's figured it out more than I have so far.
I know it's already been covered, but Nor'Easter looks pretty sad. All these blobs of snow - they need some major massaging from you guys!!!!!!
