Nice! Scope out Nor'easter too. Not that I have a lot of hope, but you never know. I imagine they want to get through with expansion first....

Will do.

 

[Greg]

Looks like I will be there..You going to be around?

You going up with the family? They're having a winter carnival that day starting at 11 am. Could be fun for your kids.

Just got back from skiing in the fresh snow at Sundown. Probably the best conditions at Sundown this year. There is a TON of snow on Gunny, they'll have no problem opening it for tomorrow! :beer:

Good news. Thanks for the update. It was snowing in Southbury when I woke up this AM. I'm heading over to Sundown in about an hour. Its not much accumulation but this will be my first time out on fresh snow this season.

I am in for sunday night as that will probably be the only skiing for this weekend due to the high winds. Warren is just recovering from a really bad cold, so I hope to ski with him on sunday.

We will be there around 4-5pm.

I plan to take my youngest daughter Sunday morning - probably my only skiing this weekend too. This will be her 8th time out on skis (just started last month), and first time to be able to ski on more than one trail since they've now opened up all of the Sunnyside area

 

[ALLSKIING]

I will be there around 5 or 6..

 

[Greg]

Gonna be a last minute thing for me. I'll find you guys if I head over.

 

[bvibert]

It's a possibility that I'll be there. 7:00 at the sun-deck if I go.

My daughter and I are gonna head over later this morning once it warms up a bit. We'll be on the magic carpet so say hi if you see us - perhaps you're already there...

If I go, I doubt I'll make 7 pm, but I'll find you guys...

 

[ALLSKIING]

Sorry guys...I am out for tonight. I will be there on Monday if anybody is around.

 

[Greg]

Just got back from the mountain. My daughter did well. A solid hour and 15 minutes on the magic carpet. She was thrilled to ride it herself. That thing is key to get them started...

Bummer Dave. Was looking forward to skiing with you. I should be there by 7:30.

 

[loafer89]

We will be leaving home in about two hours and plan to ski from 5-8pm. It looks like Sundown will be 100% open by this evening.

Greg, did you ski Gunbarrel? how was it?

No. I just skied by the magic carpet with my daughter. Gunny looks great with side-to-side coverage. The whole mountain for that mater has a TON of snow. Snow extends right to the deck; no more mud (thank God). Surface looked like nice packed manmade. They were making snow at the base of Gunbarrel and the Pole Cats on Exhibition were running. I imagine they were making snow all over the mountain. The stockpile to the left of A lift was impressive - probably 20' high (not exaggerating). Today was their winter carnival and the place was PACKED. I would expect some scrape in the middle, some bumps and probably nice lines on the trail sides. I chatted briefly with Sundown's marketing director, Dotty Craig. She seemed relieved it's finally consistently cold.

 

[loafer89]

Thanks for the information. I am sure that all of the resorts on the East Coast are happy to have snowmaking weather 24/7 for a change, after all it is now the coldest part of winter.

It's now looking like we could get at least 1" of natural on monday and I have my fingers crossed for the coastal storm on thursday.

See you tonight.

 

[Greg]

Sorry guys, I'm out too. It's just too late to head over now to make it worth it. see you Wednesday though!

 

[loafer89]

I am out this week as we have a long weekend next week at Sugarloaf.
