I plan to be there close to 6 pm. Gotta practice on those bumps/kickers. Remember, sunset is ~7 pm so early arrivals will score some daylight runs.

I am about 50-75% positive that Warren and I will be there wednesday evening. We have not been to ski sundown or skied in Connecticut this year and the season is running out.
The weekend is looking crappy weatherwise, so this will probably be our skiing for this week.

Could someone please explain where the moguls are exactly. I read that they are now on Temptor? what became of Nor'Easter?

N'E is flat. The bumps start near where they did last year, just on skier's left instead. They continue down the turn into Temptor. They sort of stop in the flats (that area can prove treacherous). The really nice bumps start right at the top of the Temptor steeps and continue all the way to where the trail merges with Exhibition. I think more seeds will be added down Exhibition for the comp tomorrow night.

When did you hear that, Tim? Last I heard we were in the clear, and that was last night on FOX news.

ETA: I'm hoping to make a return tomorrow night...to Sunnyside. I have to see what the orthopedist says this afternoon, though.

One of my co-workers mentioned something about it, and I double checked is on Weather.com and MSN.com. While it is only like a 50% chance of rain those days I don't want to chance it.

Wednesday evening looks fine with the NWS predicting a 30% of snowshowers overnight, a 20% chance of a snow or rain shower wednesday morning and then clearing weather at this point. Warren and I will be there around 4:45pm.

I'm still going to be there Wednesday night. Should be fun, either way. Honestly a little rain may make it better... Thursday and Friday nights are out for me as I'll be working...

I'll see you guy's tomorrow evening. I have to go home from work to get Warren off the bus at 4pm, then drive back west to Sundown, and we should be there around 5pm.

We will be skiing until around 8-8:30pm.

I'm likely in tomorrow night; although the reality of it is, I might not be there much before 7:30 or 8 pm. It's been a nightmare getting my 2 year old down for the night and I risk divorce papers by leaving before she's sound asleep. My game plan for tomorrow is to hit the kicker(s) over and over. I've got the mogul thing as good as it's going to get, but I need to get comfortable with the airs. I plan to hit it and hike back up. I might only end up riding the lift a few times.

I'll be there for sure. I'm guessing around a 6:30 or 7 arrival time. Hoping the kicker is built so I can practice.

Who else is going to be there?

Loafer, you still going to be there?
Evil's are not going now??

The kickers are in as are some more bumps down Ex. The latest from Chris:

Yes, we did get in there with a cat and we were able to get a few more
bumps in as well as a couple of nice looking kickers in on the top of
Exhibition.

I hear they are a little softer today. Jarrod and myself plan to get
out this afternoon and work on them some more.
