3? How far is it from Springfield or Hartford?

If I don't see some bumps fairly soon, I might make a run down there some Saturday

The angle may have been "off" but it was cool to watch, Gary. Thanks for posting that!

And HEY! How come nobody grabs beers when I ski with them? <pout>

wish i could have skied a bit with you guys today, sounds like i missed some fun. had an hour of helmet cam footage and it all sucked, bad angle on the camera. caught a glimpse of the N.E line


Learning curve, I suppose. The Jake head nod at 22 sec. is epic. :lol:

40 minutes? I only guess 3-ish since I can get to my buddy's in Newmarket in about 3:15 and I'm south and west of Sundown.

Sweet day! Sun, bumps and warm temps...what more would you ask for? Great to ski with you all! Special thanks to Shannon for pushing me today. I think I got a little faster! He let me take the $$$$$$$ money line all day during our duels. We definately should do more dueling. Who's in?

Had a psuedo-duel with Pat today on N'E. The bastard almost forced me into the woods, and I think we gave Grassi a coronary in the process... :lol:

The Flipshare software kinda sucks so the vid went a longer than the song. Anyway, threw this together and you can bet your ass the soundtrack was aimed squarely at the Haters once again......



Sundown 4eva! :spread:

One word: EPIC. The Institution delivers once again. More later...

So are those who ski there the Institutionalized? :lol:

Lapping bump lines isn't really my thing but I've enjoyed this thread. Good to see folks getting great skiing even during a late December blowtorch.

If you don't understand, you'll never understand.

Actually I think I do understand. It's my knees that aren't so down with the concept ... long-ago injuries that fortunately haven't caused me problems lately, and I'm hoping to keep it that way. Anyway, I do like skiing spring bumps e.g. at MRG, though I won't pretend I have great technique, yet.

The Sundown is looking good! Some great lines for only being open a few weeks. You guys look like you're already in mid-season form! Looked much better than Mt. Snow did last Wednesday.
