Hunter Feb 23

Hi All,
What a great holiday week of skiing! Today was a top 5 day of the season with a cloudless sky, no wind and temps that climbed quickly from a low of -1 to 36 now. Lots of snow was made last night on the west side and on Racer's (great job Bruce) and the grooming including Apurna was nothing less than spectacular (thanks Skip). GM reported that all trails were in great shape and that everyone on the slopes today was having a great time. Crowds were very light and there were no lines to speak of at the Flyer or at "F" and "D" which were also running. Claire's was the trail of the day by all accounts followed closely by Racer's.
The weather could get a bit messy later in the week per below but the mountain is anyway in great shape for for spring skiing.
Come enjoy it - ski ya, http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/
