Resort or Ski Area: Ski Sundown

Conditions:

Trip Report:
Got to Sundown around 9 and found a mix of conditions out there. They blew snow all over last night and you definitely knew when you skied off the new stuff and over the old firm PP. Crowds were real light this morning, with a 4 or 5 chair wait at the most.

Hit up Canon, NE, Gunbarrel and Ex a few times and then headed over to Temptor. The bumps on upper NE mostly got covered with snowmaking with the exception of the skiers left. At the merge of NE/Temptor it apperas they ran a Cat down the side and pretty much leveled the two big stock piles of snow at the beginning of the flats. They did replant a few small piles there under then new snow, but it makes and easy entrance to Temptor now. Temptor received edge to edge and top to bottom snow making which really filled in all the troughs and makes the kickers look small now. Having only skied soft spring like bumps previously, I actually felt pretty comfortable in them today.

Lower Ex bumps got some blow over snow making and skied about the same as the Wednesday for me.

With more snow making tonight the place should be in great shape tomorrow.

Randi and I were there for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon breaking in our new boots. Most of the trails were kind of scratchy except for Temptor. Temptor had godd side to side coverage of new man made and skied really well. It should be even better today. We are planning on getting out today as well.
