Was Bobbutts there yesterday? Looks like only a real skier could've done that kinda damage.

Probably enough snow on the horn to keep the beers cold!

try taking some pics today. kurt and his helper are still here. we waited to tap into some of the reserves until last night, as the temperatures allow for easier moving of mass amounts of snow. if we tried to cover before the rain, after a 70 degree day it would have been a very big waste of resources. yesterday was a strange one and we've made arrangements for that to never happen again.
there's still a lot of snow. Temptor can, (and will later) be stripped much lower to cover Exhibition. Stinger can (and will later) revert back to smaller features to spread snow. the three lower features on toms can (hope not to) come out and that snow be pushed up. Nor Easter can(and will later) be moved down to cover lower flats.
As far as Gunny Jumps... had to wait for temps to drop so i can push the landings / decks. those placement kickers were just there so Bvibert can get mentally prepared for his dumper eagles .
if there's a cat available before we open today (it's 5:50am) i'll build em today... otherwise tomorrow... otherwise Monday... soon though.
finally got around to hasseling nick for a new pass word. thanks buddy. we'll try to keep you guys updated. check the facebook. i can update that with my phone, so its easier.

You know I'm unbiased and here to show my AZers whats goin down on the mountain whenever i get the chance! Be it awesome or slightly less awesome, but I'd say if you checked back about 90% of my post are SUPER PRO Sundown and the rest a bit unsavory but truth none the less...SUNDOWN YOU KNOW I LOVE YA!
I ALWAYS GOT THE SCOOP SON!!!!!! http://www.solidthreads.com/media/04/a20791c12c89aeb8c369ba_s.jpgMaybe Ishovel can comment further on this but on facebook I'm seeing/hearing that the DOOMS DAY for Ski Sundown this year has been decided to be Mar 18th. If this is true I can deal as you guys are up against a wall this week with the warm temps and the possibility of rain tuesday, but a confirmation from you would go a long way to dispell any closure rumors or for that matter support them (hopefully I am dead wrong but I'd rather get the word ou,t so others can get after it while its still there!)

we're gonna get to sunday 5pm, close, drink a beer on the deck, and formulate a plan. if it's doable, then we'll go forth... in the mean time, it's looking HOT outside.
