You got that right!!Thanks for the link.

Dave they are some pretty skinny straights. They look weird actually but for $99, you cant go wrong.

brian, not yet. debating whether i want to keep the volants as rockers and buy new bindings for the heads.

You got that right!!Thanks for the link.

Also note that they are considered a tad stiff from what I've read. Probably perfect for the 2knees bump slamming technique ( ) but I'm looking for something soft and forgiving (and light!). Still eying the Cabrawler or 1080 Mogul.

This year is going to be awesome. It's going to be great to have a crew of bump skiers taking over on Wednesday nights! I remember a guy on our last night last season that kept skiing up to the top of the bumps every couple runs. He commented that he was still trying to figure them out, but enjoyed watching us all rip through them.

I can't wait. Gonna be here soon enough, but I'm still so psyched. Just hoping for bumps in December this season. That's all I ask!

I'm working on eliminating that!

Well, I finally broke down and began my mid-summer perusal of last season's trip reports... I read through all the Sundown threads from last year:

Scroll down and click "Search for Forum Member Skiing Trip Reports". Pathetic, I know and now I'm in full-on jones mode... :smash:

I think you need a summer hobby Greg.... No, re-reading old TRs doesn't count.

There's a few mentions in these threads about some footage that you shot. We still haven't seen any of it...

I don't think that I will be able to make it to Sundown this year as Warren will be going to public school in Coventry, and between my work schedule and that of my wife, weekday skiing will be next to impossible.

Bummer! Weekday night skiing is what keeps me motivated all week. You and Warren will be missed from the crew, Kevin.

OUR NEW WEBSITE IS COMING SOON WITH UPDATED INFORMATION FOR THE 2007/2008 SEASON

We're probably right around the 4 month mark until they open (hopefully)! We're also right about at the 4 month mark since they closed so we are officially right in the middle of the off-season. It'll be here soon, folks!

I gotta fix my damn computer first unfortunately, so the video should be ready by next summer.
