But in all seriousness, I am excited to give something steeper like temptor a shot. You guys will probably be lapping me all night, but it'll be a fun challenge anyway :)

Resisting juvenile urge to say something bad....

Very nice. That is something my wife would say about me. I think the two of you would get along.
I think a lot of us on here get along for that exact reason. ;)

Have fun, guys! My knee hurt just looking at it. :eek: Ex seems way too wide now without its bumps, that's for sure.

thanks for the pics. you should get some kind of reward for doing that.
Dude, I'm still owed from Mt. Snow! :roll:

One thing... all this time in the car lately has enabled me to listen to a lot of Beastie Boys. :lol: Haven't heard them in years but apparently the folks at 104.1 like 'em a lot... :lol: (Typed while listening to "Girls"... )

Yay, that looks like fun. I don't think I went down Temptor when I was there last year.

Oh yeah, that's cause Nor'easter was the only trail I skied all night...

I detect a touch of sarcasm there. It does look a little weak in those pictures, but it's just the angle. The trail is a lot longer than it looks there. And because I too am a geek, I did a bit calculating in Google Earth. The string of Nor'easter bumps was about 700 linear feet. The new bumps start at the same spot apparently, but on skier's left. They then follow the turn down into Temptor, then along the Temptor flats (where there aren't seeds currently), and then they dip down into the steep section of Temptor which you only see a portion of in Carrie's pic. The end of Temptor gradually flattens out. That's about 1,400 linear feet. Throw 6-10" of powder in there and we're golden tomorrow.
