Sundown Moguls.

[deadheadskier]

Sorry you can't afford to ski bumps at Sundown.

Maybe consider a part time job there to get a pass.

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

there was a time when a statement like that would earn you a temp ban on this forum :smash:

I'd move out west if I was that dedicated to get a miserable job standing outside like a lifty does just for a pass.

Yeah I don't think so. What happens if there's a powder dump? I can't call out sick and go skiing there!! I'd be fired. Oh and the commute would cost more in gas than the pass! LOL You don't commute an hour each way for a minumum wage job. It costs around 50 cents a mile to operate a vehicle. Do the math

Guess you're screwed and left to complain on internet message boards and the facebook sites of ski businesses instead of going skiing.

bummer

Guess you're screwed
bummer

Like much of the working class.
I guess I'll just continue buying my midweek tickets and spending money I barely have. I should consider a move to snow ridge. lol

Oh....looked at your list of ski days, I still skied as many days as you this year. LOL! I'm the type that would like ski good conditons 4 days a week minumum every week. That's impossible on the ec, except for snow ridge maybe close to that. But really you'd need utah.

my brother spent several years as a ski bum. he moved to Utah. He worked at Alta (don't rant, i know you are a rider) and for the first couple of years he lived and worked at the mid-station. on his mornings off (every other day) he'd walk outside, catch the lift to the top and ski fresh pow for 4 hours.

Oh and I don't just complain on ski facebook websites. I give BIG props/reviews when they do good things. FOR SURE.

Learn how to ski bumps and trees and maybe you'll find more enjoyable ski days than chasing powder in CT

Sounds like a awesome adventure! There's a difference working there and sundown. Sundown hardly gets pow so you'd have to call out sick. You couldn't just wait till a day off. Alta gets blasted in pow all the time.
Why would I rant about Alta? One of the best ski areas in the world and no snowboarders to ruin pow lol I've never been there, but would love to visit. Seen the video's of the area and 565 inch average blower dry pow average. Enough said. Have you looked at the lift ticket prices out west? Wolf creek charges on slightly more than sundown. 626 at wolf creek. LOL

I don't like bumps and tree's are dangerous. One wrong move and faceplant. And you can't go as fast. Safe injury free fun is what I'm after. Bumps are not nice to knee joints and I have body issues already.

Listen you clearly don't like me and every reply you give me is snarky so why even bother communicating with me? You think I'm a troll anyway. I'm having a convo with gm. I also like my convo last time with the guy with the jeep. No reason for this hostility towards me. I enjoy talking about skiing and would drive any non ski fanatic crazy so I come on here.

they don't have to pay for snowmaking so can charge less

'HEY...Take it outside!

 

[Wyatte74]

Meth anyone?

 

[Snowlover]

So Looks like we got a storm coming MONDAY Hey so, gunbarrel is DEFINETLY bumped up? All the way up and down the trail? Does wildwood at mohawk have moguls on it or is it groomed? Does temptor still have moguls?

word on the street is only a small section at the top of gunny is bumped right now. and when they bump up gunny they mow down the bumps on nor easter. i don't think temptor ever got bumps this year.

 

[jack97]

I was planning to go today and ski Ex...wasn't to thrilled about breaking in gunny with these conditions but with the snow coming in, it would be fun to take a midweek day next week.

I've never skied a bumped-up temptor. Seems like that would be even better than Nor'easter for early season bumps.

Nope, you're wrong... Every trail is bumped up top to bottom.

No wide open groomers to be had anywhere.
