Ski Sundown (night): Wednesday, 1/2/2008

[Greg]

What better way to look forward to my first day back at work :smash: than a night session that night? I'm in!

 

[Grassi21]

In

 

[bvibert]

Hope to be there...

 

[Greg]

Looks like after Saturday night, we'll have many cold nights ahead. Hopefully, we'll see a lot of snowmaking to build up the bumps/cover up those dirty troughs.

 

[MRGisevil]

I should be there too.

 

[Greg]

The bumps [thread="21957"]today[/thread] were phenomenal. Some pretty aggressive troughs now. After tomorrow the forecast looks good and Jarrod indicates some top-coating is in their future. We may also get some natural Sun/Mon with it staying cold after that so we should be set up well for a night of bumpin'!

 

[MrMagic]

im hopeing for some snow or at least cold weather esp after all this rain, dirt has to be showing now

 

[MrMagic]

oh PS i hope to join you guys this comming wed. just have to check my work sch.

Snow Advisory: 3-6" for Litchfield County

We have a Snow advisory for the Sundown area:

Snow Advisory In Effect From 7 PM Sunday To 6 AM EST Monday...

The National Weather Service In Albany Has Issued A Snow Advisory... Which Is In Effect From 7 PM Sunday To 6 AM EST Monday For Ulster... Dutchess... And Litchfield Counties.

A Moderate Snowfall Of 3 To 6 Inches Is Expected Over The Advisory Area Sunday Night Into Monday Morning. Low Pressure Will Quickly Move Northeast From Near The Delmarva Region Sunday Evening... To Southeast Of Cape Cod By Daybreak On Monday. The Snow Is Expected To Move Into The Southeastern Catskills... Mid Hudson Valley... And Litchfield Hills Sunday Evening. Snowfall Rates May Briefly Reach An Inch An Hour Early Monday Morning. The Snowfall Will Taper To Scattered Snow Showers And Flurries Late Monday Morning.

A Snow Advisory Means That Periods Of Snow Will Cause Primarily Travel Difficulties. Be Prepared For Snow Covered Roads And Limited Visibilities... And Use Caution While Driving.

Exactly what the bumps need. I wonder if Chris would consider this substantial enough to reseed. I think it's better to just leave them at this point. Maybe rework Lower Nor'easter only.

 

[bvibert]

I'd bet they're going to leave them alone at this point. Except for top coating them that is...

 

[Greg]

Looks like a potential for accumulating snow tonight and again on Tuesday then COLD. Wednesday night bumps are going to rule it!

They're not going to suck, that's for sure!

 

[Greg]

Based on how they are set up right now, if you drop two rounds of 6"+ in there, they are going to grow HUGE. Powder explosions, baby! Someone notify jonnypoach. :lol:

 

[Greg]

The bumps are primo!

[thread="22077"]Today[/thread] was awesome again. If tomorrow's forecast of 3-6" validates then we will probably see some of the best bumps at Sundown that I've skied in the past few years. I know some folks from out of the area were thinking about giving the Sundown bumps a try this season. Well, folks, they are about as good as they get right now. Join us on Wednesday!

Probably not 3-6" like was forecasted. I got almost 2" and then some rain, but not much. If the snow line stayed south of Sundown, they probably got 2 more inches of tacky snow; good for bump building. Gonna freeze up tonight so expect firm bumps tomorrow night. I'll be lapping Nor'easter anyway

 

[bvibert]

I'd say we got 2-3" here, about 6 miles or so south of Sundown.

Any rain?

 

[bvibert]

Any rain?

None that I noticed, but I was inside most of the day. The resulting snow does seem a bit on the wet side though...

 

[bvibert]

I have confirmation that snow-making has resumed tonight.
