Hi Chris,

I was thinking of doing some sloping later today, as well. Should be some powerful lift today, and great temperatures for this time of year. Might be our last shot at some reasonably comfortable sloping this season.

I live just down the road from the slope, so if you would like, you can give me a call when you are heading there. My number is 827-3039.

Any other takers out there?

Vic

i would if i could, but i can't so i won't :(

spectacular sounding forecast, sounds like winds will top out over 40 knots at the hill crest. bring lotsa lead ballast. actually i won't be far, at cow bay, where i can see the hill at lawrencetown across the water, maybe 3 or 4 miles away. if i can steal a car i might pop out for a minute.
