bumps are so rare we need a sign to indicate

Good first day-- if brief-- 1:30 to 4:15. Full family affair- lots of canyon runs, a couple on temptor and one down Gnareaster. Was better than the early pictures but still needs some love... tomorrow is another day.

Yeah. Yeah. Heard that all last year. You gotta pull the mondeo approach. VT on weekends, Sundown midweek.

BTW, what other mountain consistently has seeded bumps on opening day? Lemme answer that for you: None!

I opened my mouth last year...and look how many times I got up there: 0. :lol:

I like that Mondeo approach. I ciuld just haul some gear back with me Sunday night.

absolutely!



while i'm sure they solid as a rock those looks damn good for day one!

and they looked drastically better around 8:15pm.

it took we about 3 or 4 runs before i was able to get some rhythm in the bumps. by the time brian and carrie showed up i was shot. did a lot of slipping of the bumps and stomping cookies. sundown laid down a serious amount of snow.

Very nice! Best first day of the season for me ever! Effortlessly slipped back into skiing, despite being in the worst shape yet at the start of a season. Only did about 6 runs, but it's all good. Needed to not wear myself out since I'll be working Sat night and need to be able to ski that shift.

Beers in the bar afterward with Grassi, his buddy, Shannon, and B were pretty good, too. :beer:

Great opening day! Perhaps the best yet. We got there much later than I intended and ony got less than an hour in as a result. The bumps were a lot of fun for me, small enough for me to let em run but not nearly as hard as previous opening day bumps. I'm really impressed with the product laid down so far this year!

I'm in Guest Services this year. Technically, I guess I'm a volunteer, but I get to ski during my shifts.

B took this pic of the bumps on Nor'Easter:
