Doesn't matter if you are a hardcore skier during spring time. You can judge me as a skier all you want by what i wear. The only opinion that matters is my own and my crew. My pants are loud as hell so my friends can always find me on a hill like killington. The best part is i bought them last spring at less then half the cost. Spring time is the most economical time to purchase stuff. Seriously do you want to be that guy in the red and black jacket next year?
Red, blue, and gray are so anonymous. Green is pretty good for not blending in. Orange is ok.

Need to get some more unique pants, though.

Closing at 1 pm today. Will reopen tomorrow. Some major patchwork presumably.

just got back from sundown, some big brown dirt patches are showing in the moguls and some really slick ice flows, plenty of snow to push around to patch up those holes

that sucks big time. i was worried about it yesterday even as we were having a blast tearing it up.

2 whole weeks till the comp. seems like an eternity for that to hold on. at least the precip falling now is frozen.

How about Southington, they seeded some bumps there the other night.
Southington and Mohawk are closed as well. My legs have been sore for the last 10 days, wasn't planning on hitting Gunbarrel at all today anyways.

You think Chris would have a problem with me skinning up one of the trails with snow on it just to keep the streak alive? :razz:

Turn the guns on!

There is a tower right in the worst area. Would just need to swing it over a bit. ;) Anyway, I'm not concerned. Most of Gunny is pretty well covered and I'm confident they'll do what is needed to keep the run skiable through the weekend of the comp. Beyond that, it'll be some threading the needle, which I actually think is kinda fun.

I mentioned this in another thread... while unbelievably silly from a short term business standpoint.. turning the guns on would be huge.. if only a tower or two for a night or two. Let's build on that commitment to bump excellence... short term return on investment be damned!

I would have mentioned turning the guns on in the e-mail I sent giving them props for the whole gunny thing... but I was afraid they would have written me off as some lunatic..
