Hunter skiing April 6

Hi All,
Things are quiet after the biggest & best pond skimming party ever.
It was 50 and raining lightly this am but now hazy sun and 70. My ski season is over thanks to bronchitis but I am also not a fan of super soft snow & bumps which is all that there is now. Lots of bare spots and brown snow as trails leading down get narrower and cut off with each passing day. The weather turns colder and could get ugly by the weekend. Work on the new six-pack will begin next week and construction of the zip line revs up too. The main zip line will be delayed opening due to the heavy snow we had which curtailed work - maybe only by end July. Weekend movie: "Percy Jackson" whatever that is.
Here's the official mtn report:


Our season is winding down fast... and it has been an incredible season at that... but there are still some awesome deals, awesome weather and lots of open trails! We're still over 65% open, the weekend is looking sunny and cool (high around 50 each day), and we're honoring our 50th Anniversary for one last time by offering 2 for $50 lift tickets ($25/per)!

We've also got some new videos up at our YouTube channel: some pondskimming footage from last weekend, a terrain park video and a HUGE jump we built, and some footage from Bakwoods of our epic February storm!




This is my last report of the season - thanks to all of you for your support and positive comments. Have a great spring and summer, dust off the golf clubs and watch for occasional updates on construction progress. http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/
Ski on...........Zip on............
