Ski Sundown (night): Friday, 1/12/2007

[loafer89]

So long as the weather is not doing anything tremendously insane, I plan to be there around 6pm. My friend is comming up to visit and ski over the weekend and he wants to ski my local hill as he has never been to Sundown before. Hopefully we have good weather, as the forecast keeps trending torwards more CP.

From the Sundown site:

We expect to begin making snow again on Sensation as well as Gunbarrel and Tom's Treat tonight.

Now THAT'S good news!

I've been waiting all year to ski Tom's Treat!

Hey, you need Tom to get down to Papoose (my fav litle green in CT).

I wouldn't expect for the new terrain to be open by tomorrow though. It usually takes them a few days to get Gunny fully covered and ready to go, Tom's is a pretty long trail to cover too. It's a step in the right direction though!! :beer:

Well, I guess this means that they've got the other runs pretty well-covered. Hopefully, good enough for bumps on Nor'easter soon! :idea:

Cold, cold, cold, next week so maybe Gunbarrel for 1/17!

Can't make it Friday night - would've loved to hook up with you guys this time. Oh well, will plan on next week ... have fun!

Well not to school, but I run a few after school clubs, so it will make life easier for field trips and whatnot.

So...7 pm at the sun deck? Don't wait beyond 7:05. I'll catch up with you if I miss you. So - who's in? loafer and Grassi?

 

[Grassi21]

I'm in. 7 PM at the sun deck sounds good.

 

[bvibert]

I wish I could make it guys, I tried to get a sitter, but no luck. Have fun, don't forget to give a full report when you get back!

 

[loafer89]

I'll be there with Warren around 6pm, maybe a bit earlier.

 

[Greg]

See ya'll later. Can't wait. It's been over a week since I last got out...

It looks like I'll be able to make it tonight. I'll probably be there with my youngest son, Kevin, who is a ripper. Looking forward to meeting and skiing with you guys. Hopefully the NCP will hold off until after 10:00.

I know you guys meet at the Sundeck. Is that off of Nor'easter? I've never been to Sundown so I'm not familiar with the layout but it must be fairly straightforward.

Yup. If you take the yellow trilpe up, hang a right and do a 180. On a tree you will see two signs, "Nor'easter" and "Sun Deck". You will go under the yellow triple, the trail chokes down to only 20 feet wide or so and then widens out and drops down to the sun deck. If you ski straight, you'll ski right onto it!

7 pm. I'm in a dark grey helmet and jacket, light grey pants, orange skis and boots.

Yes it's on Nor'Easter, you can miss the sundeck after you go down the first pitch. The mountain is really easy to get around, you won't have any problems...

I'll be in a light grey helmet and pants, orange jacket, red skis and boots. I'll also have a little bomber (my son) with me in a white helmet and red jacket. I'll see you then.

Nice! See you later. How old is your son? loafer89's son Warren is 7 I believe. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to ski with a kid his age.
