Trying to decide between tonight or Friday night? The snow doesn't look like it's going to happen, so snowmaking is the only factor. Temptor most likely will not happen before next week, and I just found out that next Wednesday is out for me. Doesn't look like there will be much difference between tonight and Friday night.
I got out for a few runs last night. The conditions were surprisingly good, the sugary corn had started to setup by the time I got out there. As long as you were able to avoid the ice spots it wasn't bad. The EX bumps were pretty hammered though, not just brown troughs, but there really isn't any real good lines that I found.
They were setting up to start making snow at around closing time, so I bet the conditions are pretty sweet tonight!

FWIW I hear there's a slight chance they'll seed Temptor tonight to take advantage of the cold temperatures and snow making...

NOAA is still calling for a 70% chance of snow Friday into Friday night. The WTNH met is calling for "several inches" and the NAM model is calling for over a half inch of precip in the form of snow. Looks like about 6" right now. I wouldn't totally count out the potential for seeded bumps on Temptor for Friday, especially if they expect that much or more snow, but I haven't heard anything specific. They made snow last night, and will continue to do so through Thursday night. I suspect Friday night will be a better night if you had to choose.

I am out tonight, it just doesn't seem worth it. But if they seed Temptor by Friday I may be there to help ski them in.

Yep. You're right. The choice to stay in and watch TV rather than hanging with the boyz for a few hours is a much better one... :roll:
:razz:
:lol:
I know it's not going to be the best conditions, though I think it'll be pretty good for groomers. I'm mostly going to get some miles in, and ski with some buddies...

I'm busting out the Volkls tonight for some mad steezy carving down Gunny. :lol: Seriously, good opportunity to hang with the guys and work on some bump technique on the flats. Maybe we can hit the small Sensation park too and work on our airs for the bump comp. :lol:
Right.
you joke but i've been debating just that for a few nights now. I would like to get some air time in. work on the twister spread and the cosack. but alas, since i have to pay for my ticket, i cant justify it right now with no bumps.

That's always fun to watch when you're working lift 4. Watch out for the badass kids over there. They have tudes.
Damn, if you guys are going to hit the mini park, I really wish I could be there to see it. Somebody better take video!

That's kind of where I'm coming from too. The bumps are the only reason that I really want to ski Sundown. Of course the company's great, but things go better with bumps!

Dudes... savings card! For 16 bucks I don't care if there are bumps or not.
Amen. I have used and abused my card this season.
I took out the Heads last night, only because they have the best chance of having something that resembles a sharp edge. I wish I hadn't, they got thrown around like no one's business in the sugar piles... I'll probably give the K2's some snow time tonight.
Actually, the sensation park isn't such a bad idea. I was thinking of trying to hit some airs in the stinger park last night, but the icy landings scared me away... :roll:

Gonna aim for the 6 o'clock hour. Might start at Sunnyside to scope out the park.

Gunny was pretty damn icy last night. Hopefully it's improved today. They did the long race course last night from the top of Gunny & parts of it were quite treacherous. The better runs were the ones that had the sugary granular snow that Brian described such as Temptor, Nor'Easter & Canyon Run.
B: I didn't run into you last night, either working or skiing. :sad: Maybe next time.
