Gonna aim for the afternoon too. But I'll likely be with pops-in-law and my daughter. Hope to break away for a few spins down Temptor though.

I'm fairly certain they just forgot to take that off, the main page was saying the same thing up until recently. The official word I heard was no Friday...

Figured as much. I haven't been there since the comp. I never get a good solid 4 or 5 hours on soft Temptor bumps this year except for that powder night right after they were seeded. I might only get on Temptor a few times on Sunday, but it will be fun to ski with my daughter on Sundown's closure.

I have to iron out a few plans but I think I can make it up there Sunday afternoon. It will be nice to make a few turns with you guys before I put the skis in the attic for the summer.

 

[bvibert]

I was at Sundown last night. There's still plenty of snow, but they have some groomer work to do before Saturday. It looked like they were starting to do some grooming when I was leaving last night. Should be a nice weekend for skiing!

 

[Greg]

Looking forward to Sundown's closing day. Psyched to be getting Abby out again too. I'll squeak in some Temptor runs with you guys...

 

[gmcunni]

I was at Sundown last night.

skiing?

 

[bvibert]

Nope, working. Trying to make sure the lifts will be staffed and ready for the weekend...

Notice any burned out troughs on Temptor? I'd imagine they haven't seen a ton of melting in the past few weeks. It's been relatively cool for this time of year.

 

[gmcunni]

Nope, working.

oh, thought maybe it was "employees night" or something like that where you got to ski.

Not that I could see, but I didn't spend any time on the main mountain, just what I could see from the base. There were some pretty big brown spots on Ex and at the base, but they still have plenty of stockpiled snow to fill those in with.

Nope, but that would have been nice... :idea:
