Sundown rock drops

[thorski]

How much snow would Sundown need for the rock drops under the yellow lift to be launchable? I would have posted pics of said rocks but the pics wouldn't load.

Dunno. Wouldn't ski it because you'd definitely get the boot. Probably 18"? I've seen tracks down both lines with far less. I know of a huge drop at Sundown. Would probably need 3 feet to make it comfortable. Uber flat landing.

add 3 feet of snow to that zone and you're getting hit in the head with ski tips.... its just not as good as the day dreams make it appear. believe me, when we were clearing out the lift line thats all we could talk about.

Ha! I totally get that. There are better "unofficial" areas to ski. Not that I would know anything about them of course.

The whole line would be super sweet without the lift in the way. That's MRG stuff.

There are no rock drops, or "unofficial" areas to ski at Sundown...

With 3 ft. of snow it would just be about timing.

Yeah, as in there is hardly ever a time when Sundown will have 3 feet of natural....

Now, the drops under the grey triple... another story....quite doable but for serious concrete snow snakes...and the currently low lift at spots...and one real flat landing... I "believe" its been done in the 80's though when it was a double...
