Ski Sundown - 3/27/09

[Greg]

Kinda far out, but right now the weather looks good, (Partly sunny, with a high near 59). Looks like some cold nights coming up during the week which should preserve the snow. I'm taking the vacation days I allotted for March powder to ski the last of the Gunny bumps. Who else is down?

 

[Grassi21]

sure y not

 

[o3jeff]

I'm in since I am off this week and plan on being back from skiing in VT on Thursday.

 

[Greg]

Weather looks good for the reopening on Friday. Also gonna be cold most nights this week which should preserve the snow, especially without any skier or groomer traffic. Anyone else interested in skiing the lines back in on Friday?

 

[MR. evil]

its a possibility

 

[mondeo]

I'll be stopping in on my way to WNY for a few runs.

 

[Greg]

Still planning on this. Anyone else down? I might get there late morning since it looks like it might be a bit rainy Thursday night which means instant soft bumps. Sweet! Hope the kickers are still up.

i'm 100% in. i took the day off of work. i need to leave by 3 pm so and early start is best for me.

Friday: Partly sunny, with a high near 56. North wind around 7 mph.

Gonna be soft right from the start. I hope to do a long session.

I'm only chiming in because I love your thinking...... will not freeze Thursday night..... soft from the get-go..........should be a great ski day.
I have a planned vacation day Friday. If the weather report sticks I'll be skiing, but at Mt. Snow. There is some sweet stuff on the North Face just waiting to be softened up for Friday!
Hope the weather holds up, the showers are minimal, and they're out of VT by 9:00..............
Have fun, maybe you should re-consider getting out of Connecticut Friday..............
Oh, and great job on the bump thing Saturday everyone. Sundown looks like it was a rockin'!

This weekend might be it for Sundown. I hope they make it to April though. Anyway, I'll head north after the place closes for good. I didn't ski north anywhere near as often as usual this year and I don't feel cheated in the least. I'm guessing Sundown had better bumps than a lot of places most of March.

my son was looking forward to trying the pond skimming @ sundown this year. have you heard any rumors of them moving it up a week if the long range forecast doesn't look good?

Cool if I don't have to drop the little guy off I can make it by 10. If I do, 10:30 is my start time.

Whatever dude. You know where to find me.

May need to sneak out for an hour or two... while the kids are in school...unlikely but the season wanes.

 

[MogulQueen]

Hey,
I can come out and play at 1pm

Sure! I think Tim is wearing his pink pants too...

 

[Greg]

Doh!

Friday is out. 3/4 of an inch of rain Thurday thru Friday morning. Not enough time to repair the damage.
Shooting for Saturday.
