Brian ended up taking over my shift tonight so he's there right now either working (or skiing, if he finagled the time off ;)). I will be there skiing tomorrow night, though not on the bumps. I haven't been out yet this month! :eek:

I got one run in on NE before they pulled the rope. I skied it pretty good, but other than that I don't remember much about how the conditions were. After that they had it closed, and for good reason since none of the lights were on. I hit the top section (they had it closed where Temptor turns off) a few times before cutting over to Temptor and it was pretty hairy with no lights. :eek: The Ex bumps were skiing very good, there were some monster sized ones with DEEP troughs in the bottom section that really made things interesting. I only took like 3 or 4 runs before I had to work. I really wished I could have done more, but I was happy with what I could get. The conditions were nice, some natural still falling and they started up the snow guns at 5:30. I hear they're going to be making snow for the next few days.

Looks like Tim and I are in for tonight.

Nice. Recovered from MRG? I feel kinda crappy today, but I'm still going to go for it if possible. I simply can't let another night session on the bumps slip by.

Yeah, and I still have to post some pics! (pc was acting fruity on me yesterday and Tim doesn't want girl cooties on his laptop)

Back's a little tweeky, but nothing too bad. I hear ya though, only been out once in the past two weeks :(

Anyone up for tomorrow night instead? Should get some fresh snow in the afternoon which will smooth out the bumps.

I think I'm going to skip tonight and go tomorrow night to take advantage of hopefully some fresh powder. Anyone else?

You guys are killing me. My schedule is a mess right now. If I get approval from wife and boss I would like to hit Sundown on Tues night. Then I might switch my vaca day from Wed to Thurs and hit the Sundown bumps in the daytime sun on Thursday.

FYI for anyone heading out tonight, they'll most likely be making snow... So be prepared... ;)

No Lower Nor'easter

Looks like they haven't fixed the lighting issue on Nor'easter yet so don't count on it for tonight. Tomorrow will have better bumps anyway.
