Wow, where was everyone this morning! :beer:
Between Killington being open and folks still without power, Sunday River was damn near empty this morning. 8am start helps too unlike K's 9am.
Skied a baker's dozen worth of runs. I originally planned for half dozen at most before the lines and down loading started to get bad. Aside from one group of a dozen skiers or so, hardly any downloads at all for the first hour and mid-station was never worse than a six chair wait.
Yea, skiing under the guns sucks but whatever. I'd rather ski the guns the wait in lines and suffer a lift slow down every 5 chairs.
Besides, there was enough snow on skier's right of T2 that you could stay mostly out of the guns and ski a pretty decent variable line. Upper Punch was horrific, I only tried it once. Skier's right of T2 kept me saying "one more run" a half dozen times. Must have been pretty good.
Guns started getting turned off around 9:30am. They had em' going all the way down Sunday Punch with a top to bottom line. Doesn't look promising for top to bottom tomorrow but it could happen, depending on how liberal River wants to be with folks wrecking skis and walking out.
Thinking about hiking tomorrow but have to work the PM so we'll see how that plays out....
