Ski Sundown (night): Friday, 3/30/2007

[Greg]

I think the mountain has enough snow to make it this long. Hopefully the bumps do too.

 

[Greg]

If they're open, I'm there.

 

[Greg]

Friday?!

Changed the thread title as Sundown will be closed Tue-Thu this week. However:

CLOSED TUES. 3/27, WED. 3/28 & THURS. 3/29, HOWEVER WE ANTICIPATE REOPENING ON FRI., MAR. 30 AT 9AM....CHECK BACK HERE!

If they do reopen on Friday, I'll be back there for one final night of bump bashing.

I wish that they would have been opened for skiing this wednesday, but I am going to Mount Snow on friday for skiing on what looks to be a blue bird day, so I will not be able to make it.

Any chance that you will be at Mohawk for free skiing on Sunday?

No. Probably gonna hit Jiminy.

I have to be in NYC by 8:30 on Friday and have lax practice from 4:30 - 6:30. If I hustle I could be there by 7:30. Count me as a maybe. It will probably be a game time decision for me. I'm more concerned about the early trip into the city than lax practice. It would be nice to hit the last Sundown night skiing gathering.

Well, based on the forecast, it starts to get cold again at night after tomorrow. At least that will minimize melting at night and in the early morning hours. That sun each day this week is going to beat down that snowpack though. There were a couple dirty troughs up top on the Nor'easter bumps, but Lower had several feet of snow still and no bare troughs. Fingers crossed...

I'm down for this if they open.

nobody skiing on it will help preserve those thin spots big time.

True. I was thinking this too. We cut out a pretty deep line yesterday and some of that dirt is because of us. It's really only thin on the top to three troughs.

 

[Greg]

Anyone else? Come on folks! This is the last chance to do the night bump session thing. It would be fun to have a big group. I'm going to try to get there as close to 6 pm as possible so I have a few hours of daylight bumps. Sunset is 7:14 pm.

Plan on going to k-mart fri day....according to all the reports k is losing it fast...Hmmm maybe if I feel like a hero Ill hit SD at night.....Greg ya got any of those SD vouchers left??? steve

 

[Greg]

.Greg ya got any of those SD vouchers left??? steve

I do. I have six and I'll bring them all on Friday for anyone that wants one.

 

[Grassi21]

Hmmmm. Now you got me thinking. I have to hit my goal of 20. I have an all day lax scrimmage in Brookfield on Saturday and dinner at my parents on Sunday. If I don't get out Friday my season could be over.

I will be there at 8 at the latest.

 

[bvibert]

I'm thinking of heading over right from work, which would have me on snow by 5:30ish.

 

[Greg]

The conditions page now seems pretty sure of a reopening tomorrow:

i'm eyeballing sundays forecast and it doesnt look too good. maybe i should swap out sunday at snow for friday night at sundown. i cant believe i'm actually saying that, but it probably would be for the better. decisions, decisions.
