Met up with a good sized crew for my final Sundown rip of the season. I had to keep it short due to other obligations, I wish I could have stayed longer but I still had a ton of fun! The course seemed even nicer than yesterday, I don't think it got very cold last night.

Great to get out and hit them one more time, good skiing with all you guys again. :beer:

I was the last AZer down Gunny for the season. Ended it with a daffy off the bottom air and into the impromptu pond skim at the bottom. Sad it's over but a great final weekend !

My last run of the sundown season:

24264_1407047582702_1427801259_31110479_4236618_n.jpg


Awesome day. Got in 2 solid hours from 3-5 pm. It was perfect and just enough. skied one run with powhunter, a bunch with johnnypoach and many with Beast_ed, madriverfrank, madriver jack, and jack97. Last few runs were solo and I was feeling pretty melancholy. I really love that little hill.

Awesome to finally meet Beast_ed. Really cool guy and an incredible skier. He lives and breaths mogul skiing. Next year, enter the comp. It would be yours to lose. Thanks for coming down to support our little hill (Jack97 too). The biggest props go to madriverjack and frank though. They made little ole Sundown a destination for a three-day ski weekend. That is effin' cool as hell.

See you next year!

Yeah I feel kinda of sad that it was the last day but what kept me happy on my drive home was those sweet bumps we had all afternoon. It was great rippin with the crew today and even the other locals (sorry but lost track of their names) who tagged along with us.

I look forward, maybe dreaming about it till next season.

Glad you were able to make it out after all! It really was a great day to end the Sundown season. Now I just need to remember that it's not the end of the ski season...

Are they anticipating not having snow next weekend?

I think it's a combo of rapidly diminishing snow levels and lack of customers. The bumps are in great shape, but other parts of the mountain need some work. It's been way too warm here the last few weeks...

not just down there. The base at Stowe today was the lowest I'd ever seen it for this time of March in my 15 years going there.
