Sundown Gunny Plans

[Madroch]

Hmm...I actually have the opportunity to cover for one of the coaches who's away. I think my task is mostly help wrangle the kids, but it should be interesting for a hack skier like me to be doing this. Maybe I'll pull the group into the bumps the whole time!

My daughter's coach is away this weekend... maybe you will have her :smile: She is not a bumper though...that is my son. My daughter is all about the gates...she is psyched for the Mt. Dew race this sat-- her first ever.

As far as to the suggestion that they need to blow more snow to keep season pass holders happy - Killington is supposed to get all the ire for closing early. Completely off base asking for this from Sundown.

Well, not asking to ski to June, just for some mid-winter love to prep us for spring. Wonder if it would be off base if you were still a regular... ;-).

In all seriousness, I completely understand the non snow making.. it doesn't make economic or necessarily operational sense at this point given the forecast... but a guy can ask, right?

If the place is bulletproof.. than I would say a light topcoat everywhere in the coming days would be the priority with Feb. week coming, but it looks warm ahead so now may not be the time anyway.

Does tipping for coaches follow the same protocol as tipping instructors?

Does not matter. You're second-guessing Sundown. Not allowed.

:flame:

No kidding!

We tip end of program season..Greg gots the pooch..unless Kim takes care of him.

Greg is gonna bum..my daughter is anti-bumps big time. Too bad he can't end up with my son...bumper in training.

Yeah, I tend to do that once or twice a season and pay dearly....

Let me know when he's there on a weekday night, happy to pass along lessons from Whistler. Those who can't do, teach.

He's not there yet....but if the offer stands next season or when he becomes a little more proficient, I'll take you up on it! Thanks. He's also a littlle young to really ski at night on schoolnights...

The plan is to push snow to the skier’s right tonight. Then seed from the top to just about the lower start shack. (Opposite side) It will not be quite as wide as it will be in the spring. Once our other Gunbarrel commitments are met we will flatten and reseed top to bottom and a little bit wider.

Great news Chris!!

I'll be there Thursday and/or Friday afternoon. A narrow field of bumps on the best (steepest) stretch sounds like a great compromise. Thanks Chris! Gonna give Nor'easter a break and flatten those?

Are you just moving snow tonight or seeding as well??

Since I have tomorrow off, should I start skiing them in? I think its my civic responsibility

Just thickening up the right side tonight. Jarrod is currently creating a photo shoot feature at the top of Gunny. They will shoot Tuesday afternoon then Tuesday night we will rip it down and seed bumps.

GC we will run NASTAR until the 26th. I've never done it but hope to give it a shot before it ends for the season.

I was able to help Jarrod with the photo shoot feature today and all I can say is BALLS..to anyone who actually nuts up and kills that set-up! Gonna be a sick photo session!
