Don't even need to see the videos to know I missed a rad day today. Right now Tuesday looks pretty damn sweet as well, sunny and 55 degrees. Burning a vacation day for this one. Hope to have the Twisters too. I'll be there from 11 or noon till 5 or so. Depending on turnout, we can upgrade this to Gunbarrel Bumps Gathering III... :lol: ;)

Any takers?

Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 54. North wind at 5 mph becoming southeast.

So nobody has a case of "mogul flu" coming on?

Not sure that's really even possible. I missed the best bump day of the year and I just need to accept it. Glad you're going to try to make it. I don't care how great the bumps are tomorrow, after seeing those vids from yesterday, skiing solo would feel especially lonely.

i've been on that side of the fence an awful lot more then you. i can totally sympathize with you. how many MRG, Sugarbush and Magic trips have i missed with you guys where the videos are knee deep powder and soft moguls.....

i'm just more used to it then you are at this point.

and like i told you yesterday, as uber gay as this sounds, you were missed sorely. All the effort you've put in over the last few years getting the word out about sundown and its commitment to bumps came to fruition yesterday. Guys from every corner of new england/new york came and tore that place to shreds. And alot of that is because of you being super annoying and repetitive with the sundown gospel that you preach. :lol:

i needed that last line to balance out the rest of it!

Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot. The only consolation about missing yesterday was knowing that Chris Sullivan and Bob Switzgable took notice of all the rippers on Gunbarrel, sort of a bit of confirmation that all their effort and commitment to bumps was not in vain. Just wish I was there to witness it.

Was walking out with Steveo, Bob and Chris were standing by the entrance watching everyone come down and Steve yells "Outerlimits of Connecticut!!!" and Bob and Chris started laughing. Good times
