Sundown Mogul Plan Phase 2

[bvibert]

I am heading up there for a little night skiing tonight. When they are seeding new bumps, do that do it after 10pm or do they close the trail during the night skiing slot for maintenance? I would love to have 15 of 15 at my disposal for day one on the slopes.

They will seed overnight. They'll probably do an evening groom, which means they'll selectively close trails while cats are on them doing a normal groom job, but it's a fairly short amount of time before they reopen the trails.

100 feet could be as much as 6 to 8 row of bumps. Pat told me once that he counted that there are only 14 turns in the bumps on temtor. So lower NE would almost be 50% longer. For the record I will be just fine with Temptor bumps as long as we get one kicker.....hint hint :wink:

actually, i had it at 17-19 turns.

I'm torn on the temptor/nor'easter thing. Noreaster allows for a nice continous run of bumps but its flat as hell. Temptor gets big gnarly bumps up top but its over before you know it.

Yea.. that happened to me last year but Sundown is VERY fast to get the mountain resurfaced and was pretty unobtrusive. I give them a ton of credit there. Also, it is always fun to hit a first run on some fresh corduroy. ;-)

really, somebody needs to call you on on that recurring "headwall" comment you like make ;-)


@ 100 ft longer it would be twice as long then


Nor'Easter with TTB bumps because you can't discount the top section.. you bump up the whole right side for a continuous run rather than the left going to temptor with the break in the middle. then you hit the flats for drills and then jump back into Exhibition bumps for the finish.

Headwall. It makes it sound so bad-ass.

I do see your point about the longer overall continuous string of moguls on Nor'easter-right. Plus getting full Ex is cool. I still like Temptor's pitch better though. Anyway, maybe they'll bring the bumps further into the lower Temptor flats to give you posers an opportunity to look rad for once. :razz:

My favorite run to hit right after being groomed is Canyon Run which is weird since I normally don't care for it. One completely alternative approach I could get behind is a wall-to-wall seeding of Canyon Run. That would be one helluva field, but they need that trail for intermediates.

i like that one too.. i can usually carry enough speed to the flats to make it fun the whole way down.

I love fresh cord on Tom's Treat...

What? No Papoose love?

They'd still have Nor'Easter. It's not as wide, but it's blue. Easier to get to off the lift, too; no uphill climb.

My daughter loves Papoose. Me? Not so much. It's more uphill than down it feels like sometimes, especially dragging a kid along. Pretty trail though.

I think Canyon needs to remain groomed. Nor'easter is narrow and freaks out beginners. My daughter will ski Canyon but is still scared of N'E.

 

[bvibert]

I actually like Papoose, it's fun for a Green trail...

lets not get crazy now. headwalls, trails too narrow? whats next chutes and cornices??? :razz:

I'll put my daughters up against yours in a ski-off any day of the week, punk.

I'll throw my kids into the skioff- starts from the cornice above upper noreaster, through the sun deck bowl, left onto the chute at the top of temptor, through the temptor ridgeline down the headwall of temptor proper into exhibition bowl.

:lol: That was my first run yesterday through untracked binding deep pow!

not fair, my kids have only skied a handful of times. But when MrMagic gets through with them, they'll be the next Lindsay V's.....

smack me for being corny but we should do a AZ'ers kids day @ sundown some weekend.

ok, the next time I see you I will smack you.

I might be down. Probably more likely once my kids are a bit more independent. Skiing with little ones is...a....lot...of....work. Worth it though.

I'd be down, once my kids can actually ski...
