Ski Sundown (night): Monday, 2/11/2008

[Greg]

Not a definite, but I'd like to make this happen. Should pick up some natural over the weekend so hopefully the bumps will be skiing great!

If I am a good boy and get my chores and family time in I should be able to make this.

What's your status Greg? I have the wife's blessing for this. I'd like to get a sess in before Wednesday.

I'll be there working. Say hi if you see me (though I'm usually over on Sunnyside).

Haven't ran it by my wife yet (too soon after my MRG foray). Shouldn't be a problem though, I'd imagine...

Famous last words... I'm there regardless. The itch is bad.

i'd like to but i'm going out with some friends tonight. we'll see if she lets me out of the house two nights in a row.

Greg, whats the weather like over there. We've had mostly snow here but real real wet. some rain mixed in at times.

2"+ of heavy wet snow. Not a lot, but the ground is totally white again and the trees are pretty. A couple more inches expected tonight.

 

[Greg]

I'm in tomorrow night. ETA is between 7 and 7:30 pm.

 

[bvibert]

I'm obviously out since Carrie has to work... I'm itching to get out BAD too!

The conditions looked pretty good there today. The little bit of fresh snow was nice too, but it was pretty wet, if not niar, when I was heading home.

Nice. I'll be on skis by 6. You know where to find me.

Skier/boardercross tonight. That should be interesting to watch from the lift.

It's going to be cold as a witches' ti**y tonight. Have fun boys and bundle up!!! (probably a good night for skier/border cross...as they won't feel the hits they'll be numb from the cold!).

I meant to post that. I was talking to one of the terrain park guys last night and he said they'll be shutting down that course around 6PM to prepare.

Any idea if we will still have access to Nor Easter?

It sounds like Upper Nor'Easter and Stinger are what will be closed. According to their website, you can still access Lower Nor'Easter via Canyon Run. (Which kinda sucks with the uphill, but hey, you take what you can get....)

Thanks for the update. If you cut over from Canyon at the right spot you can carry enough speed to get up that little incline to NE. Not to mention you won't have to watch out for peeps coming down upper NE since it will be closed.

 

[severine]

I meant more the uphill just to get to the top of Canyon, but good tip.

Ahh yes. I hate that spot too.

Ack!

Oh no! Just got this email from Chris:

Just some info. to save your friends any disappointment. Nor,Easter will be closed at sunset tonight, Due to a lighting issue. We will fix it Monday.

I can't catch a break. I still haven't managed to ski the new bumps.

I'm out. I'll aim for tomorrow night, I guess. At least we found out about this ahead of time.
