Sundown - Friday POWDER afternoon / evening

[2knees]

I'm shutting down. See you guys tomorrow. Drive safe. 2knees and I will save a little bit of powder for you

lol, i'm sure i'll save all of it for you guys.

hopefully i'll bump into a few of you tomorrow.

 

[Greg]

think GB will open tomorrow? i thought i read something about them blowing snow on it last weekend.

Gunbarrel Sunday, maybe.

I think there are a few key players missing here. modeo? MrMagic? mikey1? Marge? Must be an M thing...

I don't think Marge will be joining us. She is laid up in bed very sick. I am just hoping I don't get this bug until Saturday. I am hoping to be in the lift around 2:00 to 3:00 depending on when I can get out of the office and driving conditions.

I am trying to decide if I should use the bump skis or my regular skis.

Bummer! Tell her that I hope she gets better soon. I hope that you somehow manage to avoid getting it yourself...

As far as the skis, I don't know what to tell ya. I'm up in the air myself...

Not sure where you're skiing, but I'm hitting the bumps. Seriously, the forgiving snow will give you an opportunity to just let the bumpers run which will help you dial in how they should be skied.

i'm leaning towards a mid to late afternoon appearance at the mighty Sundown!! Problem is that I have to get my gear at Nothington...if school's out and I go early enough to get it I won't have a problem...if I get there later and the snow is piling up...it'll be hard to leave...i've got some freshly cleaned lines that will be begging for tracks.

Scotty! You have to hit the mighty Sundown. You obviously haven't skied the Temptor bumps this year yet. They are big, gnarly and fun. Like a roller coaster. Drop 8-16" of powder over them and it's going to be nuts. Johnnypoach is going too! :lol: Looks like most of the Sundown bump crew is going. You have to head up! Grab your gear, head to the car and don't look back. Your local stash will be there for you to hit over the weekend...

I should be leaving around 2 pm tomorrow, maybe a touch earlier. I should click in shortly after 3 pm barring any travel difficulties. I'll be going full tilt until closing. I can't even contain my excitement right now....

Do it!!

 

[Greg]

Do it!!

Are you on board for the Sundown powder bump fest tomorrow Woodcore?

Are you on board for the Sundown powder bump fest tomorrow Woodcore?

Might be, but won't be hammering the bumps seeing as my bad back isn't nearly 100% but we shall see.

 

[ALLSKIING]

I'm in!!

 

[Greg]

You guys gotta tell the backchannel story here too. Poor Dave wanted to come up tomorrow, but all his gear is at Killington. The workaround is Brian and I are going to try to set him up with some random old boots, skis and poles. Gotta hook a brotha up for a rare CT powder day! :lol:

 

[2knees]

i'm gonna be there for a few hours so i can leave behind some options. I have those volkls with my old boots. Dave, what is your boot size?

 

[rueler]

what time is dave going to be there and what size does he wear for boots?? I have a couple of 27.0 pairs of boots kicking around...and maybe a 26.5...they're all around a 100 flex...ski wise...I have about a half dozen pairs of fischer or atomic skis too....I'll just load my car up...Woodcore is talking me into Sundown from a pm. Probably try to get up there for 3pmish.

 

[bvibert]

Dave is aiming at 3ish AFAIK. I think he should be all set with boots. He seems to think he'll fit in Greg's old 28.5s, but asked me to bring along my old 29.5s just in case. He's got his choice of a few different skis between Greg and myself, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to keep his options open.

far skier's right or left probably has a small field that you could get through without killing your back...it'll be full of pow too..since all the CLITS will be skiing the same tracked out bump line :wink:

Temptor is pretty much side to side gnarliness. Although you're right the lines along the woods are a little more forgiving. More like sweeping push piles than big ole troughs. And you're right the CLITS usually pick the best line... :lol:

Today is going to rule it!
