That sucks. Just keep the bumps where they are. I like gunbarrel nice and wide. Best trail in ct.

any confirmation this morning on the bumps?

I used to be one of your supporters, but this is just beyond the pale.

lol...oh well I guess I'm down to 0 supporters now.

You're from ny? Do you even ski sundown or know what trail I'm talking about? lol

Gunny is the only wide trail top to bottom and has a steep pitch non stop. Signature trail of sundown. The bumps ruin it unless you like skiing moguls. Temptor was bumped up last time I was there. Sundown seriously needs to add more trails. Place gets tracked out sooo quick That's really the only advantage mohawk has over them.(trail acerage) Mohawk mows down almost all it's powder which sucks. Sundown is real good at leaving pow and of course nothing better than wide sweeping pow turns on gunny! KEEP THE BUMPS ELSEWHERE. Plenty of room on exhibition near the lift for them

You could easily cut another trail right next to gunny. Have two gunbarrels! Especially consdering the outrageous prices they charge. Mohawk weekly pass is 219 with no blackouts! I'd rather buy a sundown pass due to grooming pow at mohawk. But it's out of my price range.

Accurate. He's quite the troll. I almost admire the amount of effort. Both barrels all day.

i won't speak for sundown but they've posted here before basically saying they don't compete for your business based on being the low cost provider but rather the high quality deliverer. its a free country, vote with your $$ and go where you like.

To this point in the season, IMHO Mohawk has been the mogul king of CT!

Sundown is best in CT because of no/limited grooming on pow days. It's really the only place to go on a big pow day if you stay in ct. Mohawk is more a gaper ec hill that grooms everything flat(one trail with pow if lucky), which really sucks because it's ct's snowiest hill by far(near 1000 foot BASE elevation) No reason to be grooming black diamonds on pow days. Groom them that night after it's all tracked out and then you have great natural snow groomers the next day, which I also enjoy.

I don't agree about high quality deliverer. Just an excuse. Sundown isn't doing anything that costs more than mohawk. Mohawk blows more snow than sundown(due to having more trails and basically twice the amount of acreage). Blowing snow costs a ton. So mohawk is more expensive to run for sure. The only thing sundown does differently in regards to grooming daily is a nightly groom. So night skiing will be better on non pow days. But that's not a big expense obviously, unlike snowmaking. Also, mohawk has been investing more money in lifts than sundown. They put a new lift up this year. Sundown obviously has the best trail in ct with gunny, but terrain doesn't cost money. They didn't build that.

Sundown is expensive because of proximity to avon/farmington ect. and all those rich kids. Period. It's all about greed. Look at how cheap tickets are at bosquet with nearly 700 feet vertical. Hell, bromley charges less than sundown. Ct skiing is overpriced period. Over 50 bucks for southington on weekends. Give me a break. 325 feet vertical! Are you kididng me? Mohawk used to have the 20 buck mid week tickets, but that's been raised to 30 bucks this year, which sucks

I do vote with wallet. I'm conflicted.

1) I'd buy a season pass to mohawk if they did NOT groom all the powder. So no pass there.

3)I'd buy a pass to sundown if they lowered their rates to mohawk's midweek level. So no pass there.

4)Powder ridge is flat and even sends groomers up in the middle of a LIGHT powder day and shut down trails while it's still snowing outside and groomed every single trail. I turned my car around after I saw the groomer. Lucky I saw that crap before I paid. They lost me as a customer doing that. It's ridiculous. Even southington doesn't do that. It was 5 inches max. I've never seen trails being shut down to groom 4-5 inches of mostly untracked pow at 3:00pm. Talk about B.S. It's also VERY flat(flatter than southington if you can believe that) so that's a zero for getting a pass at even with cheap prices. They seem to be focused on complete beginner never skied before or teenie bopper freestyle stuff. Don't really care about people who already know how to ski who want to ski trails

On top of it, I really only like to ski natural snow anyway. Day of and few days after.(assuming they don't blow that fake crap for a few days, which will destroy the good conditions) I don't ski fake snow. So for me it doesn't make sense to get a pass anywhere around me. Too bad I'm not 30 miles away from snow ridge LOL

So I'm stuck buying lift tickets. Thank god sundown has 2 hour pass or I'd never go. I never ski ct on the weekends since I can't afford it and think 50+ bucks for mole hills is obscene, BUT powder ridge does have reasonable(relative to other ct area's, still too expensive) 2 hour ticket available on weekends for around 30. Only mountain. So that's an option if I want. Not sure I even want to support a place that destroys pow like that. I'd definetly never go to powder ridge on a pow day obviously.
