Something is Brewing at Sundown at it's not Beer!

Interesting article about Satan's Stairway. I didn't realize that Satan liked to carpet his stairways. I'm not sure if they got creative with the camera angle, but it is certainly steeper than the average Connecticut trail - for whatever that's worth.

They've just posted some artists renditions of what the trail will look like in the winter.

Okay now I understand why the insurance company MADE them give it a double diamond rating

Maybe they should have named it Satan's Couloir. ;-)

I heard you can earn a free season pass by side stepping down the trail in the early season to mitigate the avalanche danger

How can they seed moguls on a trail that's so steep?

I think they ought to change Exhibition's name to Satan's Landing and continue to seed all the way to the lifts.

The plan is to have bumps all the way to the lift..

I like Satan's Landing though, that's funny.

[emoji106] to satans landing... Now, we just need to revive "horn", find a way to merge it safely...leave it as horn, or maybe satan's horn, satan's bypass, temptation, etc

From staircase to gunbarrel
could be salvation

After looking at those photos, I'm scratching my head at how mogulskiing.net described the trail.
Here is what they said:
After a short, almost flat run in from the chair skiers will come to the first crest where the trail angles down into a more intermediate steepness. Shortly after that is a second crest. This is where the real steepness starts. Most skiers will likely ski down to this point and stop to gather themselves before tackling the main portion of the trail. The rest of the run is a consistently steep pitch straight down the fall line to the bottom.

Awesome news. Now I just have to convince my wife to relocate to Hartford!

AZ summit at ski sundown? We could get a discount on the steep and deep clinic

Lol you must stop and gather yourself before you get to the real gnar.

 

[Mapnut]

Yes, the real gnar occurs in that dark brown patch in Kilarney's photo (post 329). Those are mogul seeds you see there.

You have to get down pretty low to avoid showing the run-out.
