Hunter skiing Mar 8

Hi All,
Another great day in a string of great days. Lots of sun, crystal blue sky, temps overnight to 29 but 48 now and classic spring conditions. Grooming was very minimal as only the main line trails were done last night. The surface was firm early and by 10 am the front side was softening fast but the west stayed frozen for a while longer. Only Wayout was groomed on the west side but the cats left plenty of nasty tracks and ruts for the early skiers. H-B-K and Ike had the most consistent conditions as they were the only well groomed runs. The east side trails and Cliff were a bit bumpy to start with and the moguls only grew as traffic and the heat of the day took its toll. The crowds were very light and there were no lines. Both D and F were not running. The final Localmotion race of the year was held on Madison and it was a costume race with the party tonight at The Perfect Lift. The weather looks good for Tues & Wed but some forecasts are calling for wet weather on Thurs & Fri. The mtn is still negotiating for a new six pack to replace the quad which would then be moved to the west side - keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned.
