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...!

I don't see Gary (gmcunni) on the list either. He made it a few times last season and it sure to make it a bunch this year.

I in for some Wednesday nights and weekends.

Looks like this could actually happen. Do you think they'll just do weekends initially or open completely on the 28th

If they make the 28th, I would suspect it's for the season.

The Wednesday night sessions begin in:

2 Weeks!

I'm bummed that I won't make the first few Wednesday night meetings....

That's ok though, it's going to be a LONG season!

Well, considering they plan to open on the 28th, I have no reason to believe they won't be open on the 3rd...

High school was probably around 15-20 days per year
6 years ago:2 days
3-5 years ago: 0
2: 6
Last year: 19

Planning on 6 days in November, and probably hit the 19 mark by December 15. Goal is 25 days by Jan 1.

Next round of snowmaking to start soon it looks like. Got some great weather on tap to dust those bumps.Chris mentioned some new heads he plans to use on the HKDs which should produce a finer snow with less whaling.

I think that extended forecast might be too warm, it will probably be alot colder than that in early December.

That's a bummer, but not all that surprising.

 

[Greg]

So...Friday Night? Saturday night? Both might be a stretch for me, but don't plan around me.

 

[downhill04]

I'm down for Friday night. Saturday is a no go

 

[Greg]

Guess we could kill this one...

Yeah, not much chance of them opening just for you...
