One calendar month away so why not fire up a thread for the first Sundown Wednesday night gathering. They WILL be open by then. Believe it! ;)

I'm in regardless of the terrain offering. I hope to get started close to 6 pm on Wednesdays this season. At least that's my plan... :lol: Are we still going to do the 7:30 pm meet-up at the sun deck?

No can do for me (see above). If they're open that week I'll try to get out on a different day...

They opened 12/1 last year. I worked @ Sundown that night. Also was opening day for Mohawk.

You sure about that? I hit up Mohawk on the night of 12/1. I think I definitely would have skied Sundown instead if they had been open.

Not that it matters this year. 11/28 is the goal!!!! ;)

Let's see... You're right, I worked at Target 12/1; it was my last day. That would make sense as to why I said I had to work 6 hrs in the Mohawk TR and it was nearly 5PM already when I posted that. My shifts on Saturdays @ Sundown were 4 hrs. So it must have been 12/8 that they opened.

This is the first TR I could find for Sundown last year: 12/8

That's right. I skied with Brian in the rain the [thread="21142"]next night[/thread]. They then shutdown for a few days before reopening and then a 1 foot powder day on the 13th!

If they're open, I'll be down for some turns at Sundown...the local hill I coach at isn't planning to open until Saturday the 6th. Count me in!

I remember that December snowstorm!! I went to Okemo with my Dad. A really awesome day until we tried driving home through the teeth of the storm. Took about 8 hours! Should have just stayed up there and called out of work the next day!!

How many Wednesday night regulars are there? And of that, what's a normal Wed. turnout?

Let's see. Last year was any combination of the following:

Me
bvibert
Grassi21
2knees
powhunter
johnnypoach
severine
MR. evil
MRGisevil
MrMagic
Mikey1
downhill04
madskier6
skijay and Marc usually make an appearance once a season.

I probably forgot somebody. Turn-out can be anywhere from 1 to 5 or 6. The great thing is usually there is someone from this board that is up for skiing at Sundown, and most of the crew above can be found lapping the bumps once they are set up. Join us this season!

For the record, I made it twice last year. Once was that epic night it snowed and snowed and snowed...!

My bad, Beetle. Told you I'd missed someone. :oops:
