Sundown - 12/11/2010

Nice work on the video Pat. It was great last night, I'm glad I stuck around for the night shift!

Drunk off my ass my ass from the Christmas party, but I had to log into the PC when I saw there was a vid from tonight. Nice! I think there might be video from 2007 or so on Nor'easter with similar early season bumps where Brian is skiing them at about 1/millionth of the speed he was tonight... :lol: Nice work big man! :beer:

Thanks! We'll see how I look when the bumps get bigger. :lol:

 

[bvibert]

how was the lighting? seems plenty bright in the video, any dark spots on the trail?

The lighting is good. Two of the lights went out at the very beginning of the trail last night, making the first few bumps a pain to see, but one of the lights came back on.

It's night skiing, not light skiing.... :lol:

BV - any reports of problems on lift 1 yesterday? on a couple of rides up i noticed very subtle changes in speed. there was no wind so i know that wasn't the issue.

No, but thanks for mentioning it, I'll pass that along. I rode it a bunch of times last night and didn't notice any changes in speed.

Kind of redundant, but here's a couple shots from last night:

Looking down to the bottom of the bumps from about mid-way

Looking up from the bottom as 2knees comes down

There were still some cookies left in the very bottom few rows, but for the most part it wasn't too bad at all. The rest of the run was skiing awesomely!

Looks like a good start for Sundown. I saw the Sundown Racing team at Sugarbush this weekend. I rode a lift with a few members of the team who were at Sugarbush for their first time.
