Skied from around 8:15 to 10 tonight. Over all the mountain is in good shape. Took a few runs down Gunny, which was very nice. The rest of the night was on NE>Temptor>Ex bumps. Temptor was in better shape than I thought it would be, not too much in the way of slick spots, but there were a few (watch out in between the two kickers. :o). Other than that it was mostly new snowmaking snow, that was very edge-able, almost styrofoam like. Ex bumps were very fun.

It was a nice night, just a little windy at times, but I had the place to myself more or less. Glad I made the last minute call to go out. :D
 
Did about an hour on Stinger, switch -> flats drills -> box -> jump. Almost got the entire box once, just not quite enough speed. Getting comfortable on it, just need to get my edges to stop catching. Also getting close on the mute grab, but need to take off better. Rolled down many windows, pulled my shoulder a little one time. Planning on doing some Jesuss (Jesi?) tomorrow.
 
That sounds like a good night guys. Sometimes, getting some runs in solo on a quiet mountain can be a good thing.
