Weekly Sundown Night Skiing Gathering: 2007-08

[Grassi21]

Yup thats me. I've been hanging out there during the non-skiing months for the last couple of years.

Traitor... ;-) I've been hitting up Paddling.net and The Housatonic Valley Paddle Club lately. Now I need to be hitting Daddy.com. and SleepDeprivation.com.

 

[bvibert]

Hmmm... SleepDeprivation.com, we could use that one around here the last few days...

Just an FYI. Sundown opened up it's own mogul-specific forum:

[Greg]

Come on folks. Let's provide some constructive feedback on the bumps:

Tell them what you liked and what you didn't. This mountain listens!

Pick-a-night Pass

This was discussed in the Sundown challenge thread, but I wanted to mention it here for anyone that missed it. Click here and scroll to the bottom:

http://www.skisundown.com/programs/adults.php

The "Pick-A-Night Lift Pass" is $168 before 10/31. It lets you ski one weeknight per week (Wednesdays are good ) all season long. If you ski ten weeks, that's only $17 per night! Six nights is the full-rate break even point for night tickets. Just thought I'd mention it.

Fingers crossed that we are near the 3 month mark!

 

[Greg]

I'd say we're safely within the 3 month mark now! :beer:

 

[ALLSKIING]

I'd say we're safely within the 3 month mark now! :beer:

and even better 2.5 months until were on skies!!

That's a mighty tempting offer... I wonder if my sister would be willing to watch the kids every Wed night this winter?

Does she have kids? If so, pick another night to watch hers...

No, she doesn't have kids, but there may be other ways to bribe her.

This sounds like a good idea to me! More Wednesday nights skiing for me too!!!

Time to get creative!

Time for a sub-3 month roll call. I assume this crew will be hitting some Wednesday nights:

• Greg
• bvibert
• Grassi21
• 2knees
• madskier6
• loafer89 (maybe?)
• cbcbd
• powhunter

Occasional maybes? New blood:

• Marc?
• skijay?
• Paul?
• ALLSKIING?
• MRGisevil?
• mlctvt?
• awf170?
• Zand?
• downhill04?
• BeanoNYC?

I'm aiming to ski every Wednesday night they are open if possible. I hope we don't have the rough stop-n-go we had last year, and I'm praying for some December bumps.

 

[madskier6]

I'll be there as often as I can. Sundown nights will compete for me with BEast nights this year but I won't forget the Wednesday night Sundown crew!

I'll try to. Wed. is good as the wife and kid have Girl Scouts then. I can come straight from work. Unfortunately, I'll likely be sticking to the groomers....

Nothing wrong with groomers, I'm sure there'll be others hitting the groomers with ya.

I'm 50/50 groomers/moguls. I usually bomb Canyon Run and meet up with the rest of the crew for the bumps on Exhibition.

Yep, I remember that from last year. Thought that Mogul bug gave you a right nasty bite on the rump, though..

 

[severine]

I'm going to try for at least a couple Wed nights. Though I probably won't be able to keep up with any of you, at least I'll get out for once.

 

[Greg]

2 months! Or 9 weeks if you prefer. I hope we can get started on Wednesday, December 5. I definitely wouldn't expect bumps, but it still will be fun to get out turning with you all again. Oh and this was 12/9/05 so it is possible to get a decent dump early in December:
