Gonna try to make this one. When is the best time to show up? Does the sun come up early to soften up the bumps or does it need more time like mid morning to early afternoon?

Gunny gets backlit with sun starting late morning and the mogul side stays sunny right through 4 or 5 pm. By noon or 1 pm, you should be good to go if the temps get close to 40 by then.

it'll be below freezing saturday night so even though gunny gets sun almost all day, i'd have an extra cup of coffee before you hit the road. by 1:00 they should be nice and soft. and really, a 4 hour ticket is generally enough. you get so many runs on it that it kinda wipes you out.

Really. 7 minute lift ride, then 500 vertical of bumps. Repeat for 4 hours. Then drink a beer or 2.

Our work is done here. :)

The forecast up there is borderline. What is the exposure on Cliffs at Sugarbush?
