I wasnt going to type this up but i got nothing better to do so what the hell.
Left meriden around 11:00 and got to sundown at 12:30. nice easy ride. yeah right. anyway, i was getting nervous that it was going to be dust on cement after seeing them first hand on monday. snow was letting up big time too so i wasnt overly optimistic but there was a solid 4" when i got there. Upper bumps are pretty shot but temptor was sweet. bumps had that soft serve ice cream look to them. troughs were good and the snow had picked up again. took a couple of runs to find the money line but once i figured that out, it was go time. You could really really let it go today.
Had a bit of a breakthrough today which i havent really felt in a long time. maybe it was the snow, ok it was the snow, but i was really able to keep a very direct line, not getting sucked into the nasty troughs, but still driving my tips and hips down and forward respectively. have never had that feeling in my life. at times it almost felt as though i was gonna go over the handlebars, but that was never actually the case. It was like slamming bumps but not. weird but cool.
anyway, thats my report. good day, best of the year so far at sundown. just wish others had been there too. not used to skiing alone anymore. my guess at a final tally would be about 5 - 6".
