Ski Sundown (night): Thursday, 12/13/2007

[Greg]

Right now the NWS is calling for a 90% chance of snow Thursday night so I'm going to hit Sundown to hopefully enjoy a night-time powder session. Might make for a rough Friday at Hunter, but oh well. Gotta take it when we get it, right?

Anyone else interested?

 

[bvibert]

I'll be there, but not skiing..

Not yet. Should get cold tonight and maybe with the expected snow they will aim to open Tom's Treat and seed Nor'easter tomorrow. You never know, but I'm going for the powder.

 

[severine]

I so wish this was coming tonight instead of tomorrow. Sounds like I'll be missing out on some wonderful ski conditions. Anybody want to take my kids for an evening? :lol:
