Gotta give it up to the mighty Sundown:

Looks like some great conditions for even more production the next few nights!

Friday is going to be sick!

Those bumps look bigger than VW sized. Time to de-tune the tips and tails on the 'Brawlers.

I'd say those are lookin almost 10' high. I'd love to see the groomers knocking those things down.

I hit Sundown on a random Monday last year. They were deconstructing Stinger so it could be reworked for some event. That was an impressive operation to watch from lift 1.

Oh yeah, I work with BVibert in lift operations and when they push the snow around for the main event and other competitions its amazing to watch, especially when you're riding down lift 1 from one of the top shacks. different perspective

In that case I feel bad that you have to deal with him on a regular basis. ;-) I probably ski half my days with the big guy.

To be honest, I couldn't imagine working anywhere other than Sundown right now. Best college job you could ask for for someone like me who skis ~60 days a year.

Those moguls look like outer limits bumps from the 90s

My understanding is that yes, it will be bumped up for Friday.

From FB, in reference to Greg's comment about Nor'Easter:

its plowed out to let the base set up. he seeds and dusts them soon

Do you have any reason to think otherwise? Opening day bumps the last two years. Since when did you become a non-believer... :lol:

 

[Madroch]

North looks out of the question Friday, so I am aiming for mid to late afternoon... until my legs give out.

 

[MrMagic]

Indeed. I'm there from about 9-2 probably. Unless it's truly awesome and I want to go longer...

 

[Grassi21]

Looks like I might be able to get there during daylight hours. Looking like a 3 - 7/8pm shift.

 

[Madroch]

1:00 until whenever the bumps are skied in....
