Sundown: Mogul Plan

[Greg]

Hold on to your bump skis, Sundown faithful! I just got word that the plan is to seed Temptor as soon as conditions allow, which means basically when there is enough snow on it. There will be no waiting for Tom's Treat to open this season. Chris's goal is to open the day after Thanksgiving! If he can make enough snow on it and and has enough time to seed it, they will! Snowmaking system test will happen on 11/15 and once the weather allows for it, it's game effin on! Think COLD!

Thanksgiving weekend seeded bumps? How's that for a Wednesday afternoon ski jones boost? :-o

Greg will now away from his computer for a few minutes to clean himself up after getting that news :beer:

Good stuff! Thanks for the Wednesday boost. Let's hope this is the year they're actually able to open the day after T-Day. While it would have been cool the last few years I secretly didn't want it to happen since it would mean I'd have to work, not this year though!

Here's to opening day with bumps on Temptor! If that happens I don't care what else is going on in my life that day, I WILL be there! 8)

I'd like to use the space to preemptively apologize to my family, friends, coworkers, etc.. for whatever I might blow off to ski.

Great news, now all I have to do is order that seasons pass still.

If they open with bumps on Temptor I would consider a bump marathon. Get there for the opening bell, ski like mad, have lunch, ski like made, quick little dinner to refuel, and ski on until the closing bell. Man am I writing checks my out of shape ass can't cash...

The deadline is 10/31. Starting this weekend the Welcome Center is open from 10-1 on Saturdays. I'm not sure what they do on the weekend of the Ski Swap, but I'm guessing you can't take care of your pass that day.

That's what I was saying, I not sure if you can take care of passes during the ski swap. They use the welcome center as the check out counter for the swap...

FYI, you can drop off your gear starting at 4pm on Friday. I recommend getting it up there sooner than later to get the biggest possible audience.

most excellent news.

Nice avatar Pat!

 

[BushMogulMaster]

Good news!

Let's hope this is the year they're actually able to open the day after T-Day.

It seems to me winter is about two weeks ahead of schedule. I went with the winter style on October 4 after our first frost which is about 2 weeks ahead of last year IIRC. Also check out this pic of Sugarloaf from this morning:

Last year's first snowfall didn't happen until 11/8/07:

Given the fact that turkey day is so late this year, I'm hopeful Sundown can pull it off. Psyched!

 

[bvibert]

I like your line of thinking.

 

[downhill04]

OK I'm leaving the office now to go buy some new bump skis

Do we have an AZ outting set up for Turkey day?

Those of you that scored the Heads at $99 got a steal. I haven't seen them that cheap since.

Should have got two pairs I guess. That's a pretty good price on those Cabrawlers, isn't it?
