I skied a couple of runs down Temptor with JP and he was skiing those bumps like a mad man. I was able to get 4 runs on Temptor and the rest of the day was spent on Gunny with Randi. Gunny was actually alot of fun today.
Jack's friend is Frank.

The whole mountain was skiing awesome, I'd imagine, but you both should have come over for a few more Temptor runs. I know Randi isn't feeling the whole AZ thing anymore, but no matter.....we would have welcomed her with open arms.....just like we always do. Maybe next time....

Today's was Randi's first day out and she wasn't feeling the bumps. But she was ripping up Gunny. She was done for the day and in the lodge chilling while I hit Temptor for a while. I would have stayed longer but my right knee was bugging me a little.

Really a great day out there, but paying for it now, toe is throbbing and my body is already sore from my bad form out there!
Good to see everyone again and was nice to meet some new people.

Another great day at Sundown and it was awsome seeing everyone again.
5 hours, 1 trail combo, 2 legs shredded like lettuce. :-D I'm spent. Not that I have great form, but the last 4 or 5 runs were pure trash. My goal was to take the last run with whoever was left standing and I made it.
I was playing with my son when I got home. I sat in the rocking chair for 2 seconds and heard, "get up, your lazy Daddy." If he only knew. ;-)

i saw johnny hit that ice formation on skiers left cleanly earlier in the day. sounds like the crash was a rough one. i skied up last and missed it an everyone was quiet. get well john.

Probably more like 3 actually. MRJ and Frank made a two hour trek down from the Albany area. They appeared to be satisfied. Our little hill got Jack to throw in the towel eventually. Great skiing with you again. RachelV seemed to enjoy herself and our little hill too.
Indeed. Ranks right up there in the top 10 for me, and I've skied the mighty Sundown a lot. People all over the bumps today. Perfect day for it. Today was a treat the bump skiers live for. Great crew.
Likewise. Let us know when you want to venture south again to ski... :lol:
Today was a treat. I suspect those bumps will get back to typical mid-winter icyness by tomorrow night. Might score another winner tomorrow afternoon though. Wish I could make it. I suspect we'll see more snow making on them, but I would doubt they get plowed.
Some more thoughts:
- That right line was pure money and got better throughout the day. It eventually morphed into a seriously deep line that could (and did) swallow small children.
- I'm getting faster. I tailed 2knees, and while he still smoked me, he didn't pull away as much as he once did. I'm coming for ya Pat! :razz:
- Cool to rip the bumps with the race crew today too. Shannon is a ripper and probably one of Sundown's best all-around skiers.
- Grassi is hard core. Pushed it till closing bell which we defined as the last bit of sunlight on Temptor.
- Big props to Brian. First time that I've seen him hit the monster line all day.
- Today I learned a pitcher of IPA is way cheaper than 4 pints.
- Get well Johnny.
