Quite frankly, just about every trail looker's left of Gunny is now off my radar unless I'm skiing with my kids. :lol:
I'm in the market for a used pair of twin tips after I get the Wateas. I said last night the turn-earning bump skier is the biggest abomination in skiing, but I think I was wrong. A turn-earning, bump skiing jibhonk outdoes it.

Might have to get a pair of GS boards next year...

Well, at least none of you would be over there to make fun of me while I pick my way down. That's one advantage. :p

i'm gonna hide in the woods and film you. and maybe throw some snowballs at you as you go by.

I suspect your kidding, but just in case you never have to worry about being laughed at by us. We save that for o3jeff. :razz:

There are areas on Gunny that aren't overly steep (mid-station area for one). Practice jumping in and out of the bumps right along the edge that's groomed.

I could roundhouse kick Chuck Norris with my bump skis.

Honestly, powder is the one place that I think I'd have a more fun with a different ski. I just don't want to screw up the base and edges on boxes/rails. Basically just want a beater pair of skis that I don't care about.

Doubt I'll ever actually get GS boards.

Better start hitting them soon while I distract them for you. And they are even nice enough not to put the couple minutes of embarrassing video up of me hacking my way down, but I am sure it will surface.

Given its firmness, Temptor gets mashed tonight and they'll get started on Gunny as well. Get out there this weekend folks and start skiing that bitch in!

i bet i'll wake up in a cold sweat saturday the moment that cat starts smashing down temptor.

oh sweet temptor, you are short and not so steep but you gave it your all.

a fond farewell.

Those big bad bumps will probably be history before midnight. My heart skipped a beat. :(


:lol: Eff it. Bring on Gunny! :spread:

That's gonna be one long bump run when they are done!

I said this in the fall. It's going to be the most challenging run in SNE, by far. Believe it! 8)

The snow tommorrow will be a big help. Randi and I were there for a couple of hours this afternoon. The bumps are a little rough to say they least. But nothing that some snow and a bunch of rippers can't fix.
