BTW, Pat or Steve - how does that run compare to Gunbarrel in terms of length and pitch?

The bumps sucked today. Little bit of ice last night made them rock hard. A TR would be titled "You should have been here yesterday." WTF!

Here's a photo:

I was owned on Chipmunk :dunce:. Threw a shoe and before I could blink I was smacking my head into the next ice mound. Glad I was wearing my helmet. Threw a shoe? I'm such a homo.

Sorry to hear that Chris. Near the end of the day I was thinking about how happy I was to ski them on Sunday as the next day wouldn't be as good. I didn't think they'd be as bad as what you experienced though.

How quick is Sunapee to top dress after a bit of an ice event?

Not quick (if last year was any indication), but they are calling for 8" or so of natural Wed. into Thu. Too bad I'm going to be in Kansas for a sales meeting. Crossing my fingers for a flight cancellation on Wed :razz:.

There's a short section on Chipmunk that they seed. Typically it is a great place for beginners to get into the bumps.

Eventually they will have bumps on Liftline, which is between Chipmunk and Flying Goose in pitch and length.

Date(s) Skied: 1-4-2008

Resort or Ski Area: Sunapee

Conditions: Epic Bumps on Flying Goose

Trip Report:

Pulled into Sunapee in time for the afternoon session. I did one warm up run down Lynx, which was fast packed powder / frozen granular. Met up with 2knees and Powhunter after the warm up run, they were running behind due to being pulled over on 91 and it sounds like the female cop had a thing for Steveo. :lol:
.

Actually I believe she was scoping out 2knees windpants...So I see the mass cop and see im doing 70 or so....didnt do a break job or anything then about a1/4 mile later she lights me up

officer: do you know why I pulled you over

steve: um you think our skis are rad?

Officer: I clocked you at 75 before you got to me....and you continued without slowig down with total disregard for the law (she must have seen smokey and the bandit too many times)

steve im sorry I must have spaced out just talking skiing with my bro


Takes info back to her cruiser

comes back with a warning =woo hoo!!!!!
