Hunter Skiing Feb 10

Hello Hunter skiers,
We hit the trifecta today - 3 good ones in a row and counting! Skiing was very sweet on a hard & fast well groomed surface. The sun was strong until around 10:30 then it played around with us by peeking in and out of the clouds. It was a bitter cold day however with a steady light wind - felt colder than yesterday as temps stayed in the mid teens with single digits on top. It was a day for fast wide-turn effortless GS skiing on ego snow. The crowd was light again (ski right onto the lift) but tomorrow Hunter is hosting 500 people from Google (East Coast) who will convene in Colonels Hall for a ski and conference day. Grooming was exceptional again on the entire mountain (thanks Skip) including Claire's (as good as it gets) and UpperK27. Apurna was closed again. Cliff / Racer's, H-B-K and the entire front side was perfect. Tomorrow looks to be a 4-peat day for a great week of cold weather skiing.
Happy birthday to the twins - Ken & Rob Calijone!!
Ski ya - bundle up! http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/
