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

[bvibert]

Gonna try to get there on the earlyish side for once. You guys know where to find me and those of you that I like have my cell #. I'll be looking to hook up for some turns before the 7:30 (is that right?) meetup at the sun deck if anyone is around.

Tomorrow morning is sure to be a sore one!

For some reason I feel like Monday was my first day out, my legs are already pretty damn sore from then. Tonight should be interesting, let alone tomorrow...

Yep. 7:30 pm at the Nor'easter sundeck. My goal is to be skiing in the first half of the 6 o'clock hour, but we'll see how that goes...

Haven't had too much muscle soreness at all lately. I am also thrilled that both knees are holding up well this season with no knee pain at all (jinx? :blink. I was in chronic pain for much of the second half of last year. I think my improved technique has helped there a bit.

Call me if you get there early...

My knees were fatigued while I walking around after I got done skiing with you guys, but they didn't hurt at all. It's weird, I've never had that feeling before. They seem to be fine now. My legs were feeling a little Jell-O like that day. At one point I was standing in one of the bottom shacks and it felt like the floor was moving back and forth slightly because of my legs. It probably didn't help that I had just come down from the motor room of lift 2, which does move back and forth as the tension on the haul rope is constantly adjusted to the load...

Guess I haven't been getting out enough if my legs can't handle 3 hours bump goodness...

Depending on traffic in the Hartford area, I should be there by at least 6:30 if not earlier. First time at Sundown though, so anything could happen along the way.

If nothing else, you should be able to make the 7:30 meeting at the sun deck. I can usually get Greg to hang around for 40 seconds or so...

Hope to see ya there!

5-Minute Rule! :lol:

Dress warm tonight. With the wind factored in its going to be a cold one tonight.

Down to 23.4*F at the mountain already! 8)

23.0 now and falling..

I hope they're doing a good job top coating those bumps....

Jarrod

Just got a call from Jarrod and he's going to try to make the sundeck meet-up tonight! 8) We can tell him which bumps we like and which we don't... :lol:

Jarrod said tonight and probably again later in the week for top-coating.

5-Minute Rule! :lol:

Which, from what I've seen, in Greganese means something like "Fly past the Sundeck on my way to the bumps until Brian reminds me that it's 7:30 and other people are showing up and I should probably wait five minutes, but MAN! That's five minutes I could be spending in the bumps!!!!!"

Thanks for backing me up!

Word. 5 minutes is like half a run, Marge. Each lift ride and bump run is about 9 minutes if you keep a fast pace. Indeed, five minutes is more than generous. I would hope nobody would wait for me. The place is small enough that we all bump into each other anyway...

Although tonight, I'll give until 7:40. I promise.

Sweet!

BTW, speaking of complaining about the bumps... Chris tells me that he's so sick of hearing people complain about the bumps that next year he's just going to make one perfect bump. It'll be created using lasers and stuff so it's guaranteed to be perfect in every way... But there's only going to be one... It sounds a lot funnier when he tells you about it in person...

Come ski the bump!

Not sure if it's just part of the joke, but are people really complaining?

Oh, I think I saw him Saturday with a megaphone cruising the mountain with a group of kids trying to win hats. It was pretty funny :lol:

A guy with a megaphone is most likely Jarrod:
