BTW, if powhunter bowing out is not bad enough...

I thought Steveo was coming?

He did bow out originally, but added himself onto the roll call recently...

 

[bvibert]

Anyway, looking forward to meeting everyone and having some fun.

It will be fun, and I'm looking forward to meeting you too.

The conditions should be decent after Chris gives us a nice top coating.

As much as I'd like some new skis...these Vertigo G3s have their place, at one time or another, in a NewEngland winter...:roll:
Will get down there some year...

it was a bit misleading. go and look, he added himself under the shopping for dresses category.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I haven't had more than 5 hours of sleep/night for the last 3 nights so my brain is a little fuzzy right now.

I skied the bumps today. They are firm, but you can still get an edge in so they are skiable. As Chris said, they will be blowing snow on them Thursday night and all Friday, so it will soften them a bit. There is a nice line going down skiers right, but the left line kinda sucks. I also noticed that they have begun working on the kickers. The one for skiers right is placed fairly well, but the one on skiers left sucks. There is no line leading up to it. I did talk to Chris about moving it closer to the other line and he said he will tell Jarrod. Hope they can make it happen, but I don't know the mechanics of moving a kicker. Even it is not perfect, I'm looking forward to it. It will be good times!!!!!!!!!!!!

those are there as a base... built during the great flood of monday... while snow guns are going we'll create our final draft of air bumps.

Sorry to hijack the Bump or Bust thread but........Severine, where'd that avatar of yours go?

 

[Madroch]

On the fence... will be a gametime decision... got stuff Friday night (no practice), and Sat. evening (cub scouts). If I think I can squeeze it in, will do, if not, still enough time to shop for dresses.

I might be on the hill on Friday. Not that I really know what the hell I'm talking about, but perhaps I can annoyingly critique your progress. Just remember, lots of "pop" and a smooth approach and landing. Us posers need it as forgiving as possible to pull off our cheeseball spread eagles and dumper airs...

 

[Greg]

BTW, merged.

re: building the course:

What exactly do you hand shovel? Just the kicker entry and exit? Or all the bumps as well?

Last year, the jumps and a few of the gnarley troughs/wall bumps. There should be plenty of snow by Saturday so the ripper traffic will probably ski in the lines pretty much, but there might be some hand manicuring that needs to happen. Anyone expecting a perfect left-right course is going to be surprised. It's short and not all that steep, but it should be pretty challenging.

Nice. I am no expert at jump building or jumping for that matter, I just was making a suggestion. The skiers right seems good. The skiers left just needs to shift over a few feet closer to the other kicker. Let me know if you need help on Friday and I can try to make myself available. Thanks for all of your attention to our course!!!!!!!!!!!!!
