Date(s) Skied: Sunday, 3/20/2008, 2:10 am - 6:15 pm
Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown, Connecticut
Conditions: Soft bumps, bluebird, warm - high 40's
Trip Report: The original plan today was to ski with my daughter, but she's been sick all weekend so I went solo. Hit the Nor'easter/Temptor bumps all afternoon. After a few runs, I chatted with Chris Sullivan and Brian for a while, again showing appreciation for the bumps.
Then met up with powhunter and also WICKEDBUMPER and crew. Soon Brian joined us for a few runs as well as gmcunni and Mikey1. We all cut in some seriously radical lines. The lower kickers are gone as are the upper kickers, but the roller is still there allowing for some air opportunity if you want. Even got a run in with Jarrod Moss, Sundown terrain guy..
We thrashed until the closing bell. Brian rejoined Steve and me for the final few runs. We sat down right at about 6 pm for the final run and saw johnnypoach who came over for one final lift-serviced bump run after driving home from Loon this afternoon.
A fantastic finish to the Sundown bump season. However, Chris Sullivan indicates they may open next weekend if the weather cooperates. Some good times were had at the mighty Sundown this season. The mountain has plenty of snow so I hope next weekend happens.
I'll post some vid later.
