Sundown Monday Feb 1st

[powhunter]

Rolled into the institution around 11 today..Nice sunny bluebird day!! Snow was pretty good all over..Did a few runs down gunny to start ..nice and carveable..Bumps on Noreaster real funky, as well as the top of temptor. Ya could let it rip after the kickers where the sun hit the right side. Exhibition bumps were really getting skied in and super soft.

Precisely why I advocated for no kickers outside of the comp on Temptor. It really disrupts the flow of the run. As it stands now you got 6-8 funky turns, stop at the kickers, and pick the next 8-10 bump line to the bottom. Without constant maintenance of the landings, they aren't even skiable. The landings as of late yesterday afternoon were skied off hard pack. I have no intention of hitting them in that state.

No matter. In 3 or 4 weeks we should have bumps showing up on Gunbarrel.

whatever happened with the promised table top jump/ramp thing at the end of temtor after the bumps?

put in a couple of hours tonight. Got my new sharpening kit earlier in the week and tried to fix what the shop messed up. Happy to report my edges are pretty much back to their original feel.

Skied basically Temptor to Ex. bumps and Canyon Run to Ex bumps with a couple of trips down GB. Snow was in good shape. Temptor was tough. Ex. bumps were just my speed tonight. :-D

Saw, as in a blur flying past me in a tuck on GB, Mondeo but didn't ski with him as it wasn't until last run of the night.

Hoping to get back again Wed and/or Friday nights.

I don't remember the promise of a jump of any sort at the end of the bumps.

I can't remember half the stuff I say so I was not sure. Maybe he has something in mind.
