Sundown Thursday 3-8

[powhunter]

Was gonna wait till around 1 and meet up with greg, but the weather was so effin fine that I got to sundown around 11ish.. Met up with Makimono and planb420, and started nailing the gunny bumps...Nice corn snow..Bumps were real forgiving..and some troughs are starting to appear..Couple more days of traffic and Gunny is gonna be golden.

Makimono can really rip em on that Monoboard!! Real tight stance..:roll: Cheater

Gave Makimono a tour of the mtn..Hit the stinger bumps...real nice/deep lines. Throughout the day skied with:

Makimono
Emmaurice2
Planb420
Jarrod and crew
Greg
Bvibert
Mogulqueen
Madroch
Gmcunni

There's sort of substitute kickers in there now. As powhunter pointed out the landings are kinda harsh, particularly on the lower kickers. Don't hit em too fast and you should be fine.

The warm weather is definitely taking it's toll, however, they still have a bunch of stockpiles hiding at various locations around the mountain. Some of the troughs in the gunny bumps will probably require some shovel work between now and the comp though...

Some of the troughs in the gunny bumps ..

are there any yet?

 

[planb420]

Between the warm days and last nights warm rain...who knows what's left. I should be there in about 30 mind to survey. HAD A BLAST RIDING WITH ALL OF YOU!

Tonight: A slight chance of rain and snow showers before 8pm, then a slight chance of snow showers between 8pm and 10pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 24. North wind between 5 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Turn the guns on!!!!

 

[planb420]

Time for a dose of reality folks, im normally one of the most optimistic ones here but after sees what I saw today my heart sank a bit! With that said Ishovel is out in the cat right now doing everything he can to breathe some life cack into the mountain. Right now there is heavy amounts of grey ice and numerous bare spots of various sizes, even some in the bumps. I feel if that's what it looks like after 2 warm days and some rain we are SOL when this next heat wave rolls in....not to mention the impending DOOM they predicted for this evening ( fingers crossed it will only be snow). The positive side is I know Ishovel is gonna do everything he can to keep us on the slopes, BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.

PICS AS OF 10:30 am, on Stinger, Toms, and Ex.

 

[makimono]

[emmaurice2]

Wow, didn't look nearly that bad when I left yesterday.

 

[planb420]

Ishovel is on it have faith...
