the fat lady is warming up for loon for sure,but that's ok cause the real season is kicking off.. wed at loon- bizarre indeed.. it was 12f at the top... rock hard frozen gran on the groomers.. all bumps were unskiable.. they shut the g down by 11 due to wind ( ti was legit ) we took 2 runs and decided to jump into town and grab some tele skis,,,, somethin we had been talking about for a while... quite challenging for sure... similarities between good bump technique as far as staying forward and on your toes very apparent... we played around and did ok... made a lame day fun... and warm!!!! <BR>thurs.. i still won't call it epic but it was glorious.. overcast till 10 then the sun came out.. temps up to about 45f... 45 minutes of raking and shovelin and side slippin had the rumrunner primed up and ready to go...by noon it was primo corn.. groomers were all thick heavy carvable corn...ran into a mogul posse from K, who had been hangin on flume.. they said it was just a little to hard and rutted and didn't realize rumrunner had bumps... they hung out for the duration...pack of teeneage british tourists in town.. made for hillarious/ horrific starfishing all day long... on a sad note , saw a teenage girl break her back going of the c box at the end of the hsq trail... still decent coverage on main fake trails but rumrunner is probably done this weekend...no spots on w/b or upperflume as of today am...they have problems at the bases near the lifts, but the recent cold may just allow them to spin the g and triple till the 18 ... the hsq is prob done on sunday , and so prob are we... quote of the day from buudy gil, while riding up the lift and see some poor souls laboring in the corn " you know dude, the ironic thing is, 99% fo the people here probably think this snow sucks.. and you and i think it's probably the best of the year "... qoute o the day #2, on the ride out of town this am in 40 f temps and blue bird all around due to the utter inabilty to bang in sick on this particular day " this is tough to take, man " ... k posse said star head wall is down a bit , but good weather should allow them to spin till 3rd week in may for sure...desperately seeking legit info on status of wildcat as a 4dayer is in the works for next tues - fri and some bbq wild cat w/ a side of lift lion and panther sounds mighty good.. their web site is untrustworthy at best.. happy easter...
