Sundown: Mogul Plan

[gmcunni]

i'm too lazy to re-read this entire thread.

is the GB plan to seed top to bottom down one side or will it be seeded only for a 1/4, /1/3, 1/2 the length of the trail?

My understanding is top to bottom on one side, skiers right I think.

i'd like to see them try the approach sunapee takes to seeding them. since gunbarrel is steeper, straighter and wider, it may work there.

Yes, top to bottom, skier's right. 1,800 linear feet long. They will seed it in late February.

That approach might also result in less puking for Kurt. :lol:

you are reading my mind.. i was at Sunapee this past weekend and was shocked/fascinated with the bumps on UFG. it had to be at least 3x as long as temptor. i took a run down GB last night while temptor was roped off and thought it was just about the same length as UFG. That would be sweet..

i'm not sure if i've ever seen such incredible and distinct lanes/lines as Flying goose had. i'm dying to get back there.

i'm also secretly dying to star in a powbmps headbangers ball video but thats just a pipe dream.....

i'm a little sad. once we start skiing bumps on GB i will miss hitting lower EX bumps.

Why in the world would you miss them? Top to bottom on Gunbarrel. That's full vert of bumps. Medium angle-steep-low angle-and then medium again. It's going to be SICK!!! Trust me, Ex will be a distant memory, especially since they're going to be flattened anyway.

I heard from Chris Sullivan that the plan is to start seeding Gunny sometime after 2/22. Probably not all the way to the bottom right away since there is one more race to do. Once Gunny is fully seeded and skied in, they'll flatten Temptor and Exhibition. At some point Nor'easter will be seeded from the sundeck skier's right down though side to side bumps on lower N'E. That'll give some more mellower bumps to all the people who's been warming up on Ex.

because i can ski those bumps like 2knees skis temptor (well, almost like he does).

 

[severine]

Well, at least when there are bumps on Gunny, I can ski the same trail as Brian.

I mentioned this in the TR from yesterday, but figured I'd update this thread. The plan still is to get started on Gunbarrel sometime after Sunday. Chris is thinking probably only 2 1/2 cat's width of groomed on the far skier's left. If that comes to pass, that means a lot of bumps! The Temptor season has been great, but the next 6 weeks is going to be nutty for local bumpin'.

 

[bvibert]

Sweet! Can't wait, Gunny is gonna be FUN!

 

[o3jeff]

Now that I am finally getting a feel to the Temptor bumps your going to change it on me.

Gunny won't be significantly harder, just a lot more of it. But with the sun exposure even a 35 degree sunny afternoon will result in soft mush bumps. If you want Temptor to soften you almost need rain.

It's really gonna be great.

 

[severine]

I'll gladly ski to the left of you guys.

They blew some whales on gunny last night ....Monty the race guy said they were stockpiling for when they seed it

Yep. Chris also said part of the prep will include plowing snow to skier's right. They're taking this thing seriously!

So are the bumps on GB done?
