Ski Sundown (night): Monday, 1/14/2008

[2knees]

this whole week is turning into a disaster for me. i am gonna try to be there for the afternoon but the night session is 100% out. I need to check my schedule closer. (or the one my wife makes for me.)

 

[MrMagic]

Things are very up in the air for me at this point. Most likely, I'll be there for the night session, but an afternoon arrival is possible. I really can't commit to any times right now.

not a problem, if i run into you guys awsome, if not there plenty of winter left, as always ill save some snow for everyone

 

[Greg]

If I had to guess, I would say a night session is most likely for me right now. Looks like most of you will be up in the afternoon. Ski those lines in for me!!!

Anyone else considering a night session tomorrow night?

 

[severine]

I may be there. Depends on what the night brings. I'll say HI if I see you, but I sure won't be trying to ski the bumps with you! Shoulder is still sore from my most recent fall so it will be a slow night for me.

 

[MRGisevil]

Tim & I'll be there tonight, but I'll be hanging back with Carrie

 

[powhunter]

Ill be there from 12-6......noreaster....and possibly area 51

So... anyone got any input on what's it's looking like up there? I actually starting driving up north late last night hoping to be at Sundown today but the roads were just horrible with the heavy wet snow coming down and no plows to be seen... I said screw it and turned around...

So please tell me the conditions are horrible and you got 2" of slush

Greg posted somewhere else that he got 7" at his house. Should be about the same at sundown but it is some HEAVY snow.

Yep, but Sundown usually gets more. I would guess at least 8" there. Maybe 10". Indeed it's a heavy snow, but perfect mogul sculpting snow. Area 51 would be rough this afternoon, I'd imagine. There was still some snow in the woods when I was up there on Sunday morning, but I would think we'd need another 6".

Head up tonight Doug! Bumps should be rad.

There wasn't much snow at all left in the woods, this event is pretty much the starting over point as far as the woods are concerned, IMHO.

If I hadn't wussed out on driving up last night I would've... and now I have meetings scheduled up to 5 (and not ones that I can idly listen and drive )

powhunter just got there. He's going to call me back after a run or two with an "up to the minute conditions report". :lol: He guesses they have about 7-8".

Nice! Live reports!

 

[severine]

This is a little more useful than my picture hunting outings, eh? LOL!

Can't wait for an update!

 

[Greg]

The powhunter conditions report!

I'm paraphrasing a bit: :lol:

This is powhunter with your AlpineZone ski conditions report at Ski Sundown. It's 35 degrees and light snow. Bumps are good; not powder explosions, but soft. Not hard, but packed snow. Lower Nor'easter has widely spaced lines. Gonna work on the left side. Exhibition is fun.

Steve then had to unload, but he called me back:

powhunter reporting from the sun deck. A lot of herbs attempting the bumps today, but at least they're getting skied in...

:lol:
