Ski Sundown - 2/20/08

[Greg]

Date(s) Skied: Wednesday, 2/20/2008, 7:00 - 10:10 pm

Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown, CT

Conditions: LSGR over hardpack/ice. Calm, clear skies - lunar eclipse, temps near 20.

Trip Report: Not an overly eventful night, but it felt so good to get out. Met up with Brian in the lot and headed right over to Sunnyside to get our steeze on. Grassi soon joined us. The small kicker on Sensation was pretty lame and the approach and landing were very icy. After a few runs, we went back to the main mountain. Skied all the major runs including Tom's. Nor'easter skied nicely - smooth groomed. Spent some time on Temptor which was recently groomed, but had many death cookies after a few runs - still edgeable. Took some time to take note of the pitch. It's going to make a sweet bump run.

Chris split a bit before 9 pm. Brian and I skied till closing. The lunar eclipse provided some entertainment on the lift. The Ex bumps are pretty beat. Despite the lack of good bumps, I had a great night. Broke out the old AC3s which had a decent edge so no problem with the hard pack ice. Even got my carve on a bit tonight. I'll be psyched for new bumps starting tomorrow though...

did you get your rodeo flip on off the kicker to be ready for the competition?

Not exactly. But I think I've perfected what I call my 2 'o clock twister. And Brian threw down some bad ass squat-like spread eagles. Yes, indeed - we will be a force to contend with... :lol:

Good times, glad you guys were able to make it out with me tonight! The Wednesday night gathering has been a bit lacking lately.. Good to get some mad steeze on!

 

[ALLSKIING]

Nice guys!! I really could have used a night on the slopes as well....Soon.

2 O'clock twister.....that's freakin' funny


better than me, I'd probably be lucky to pull off a quarter til noon twister

the idea of doing a bump comp again sounds so fun, been a long time and I know if I tried tomorrow, I would completley flail off the airs. That said, if I knew I was going to partake, I'd find the nearest terrain park and be dusting off the ole' daffys and back scratchers, preferably on a day it was pouring and no one was on the mount but me :lol:

Indeed. I believe I've improved. My twisters to date have been of the 1:45 variety at best...

To paint a picture... On my 1st spread attempt, Greg said it looked like I was trying to take a dump in mid-air... :lol:

It's a new move called the bowl-squat air. What's the new on the bumps? Did they start last night?

Great to ski and shoot the S with you guys. But I have to admit, with the bumps on Ex deteriorating and NE being groomed out, I found myself bored last night. I'm hoping they plant those seeds before Friday night.

See the T&E thread. Great news in there. I actually had a lot of fun last night despite no N'E bumps. Brian and I did a few runs down it making fast mogul like turns. I forgot how much fun my Volkls were...
