Hunter skiing 12/22



Well folks, the first full day of winter is anything but.
Yesterday's and last night's rain and warm temps, 50 overnight, took its toll on the mtn. If you like damp cold & dark (no sun) spring skiing then today is for you - not for me - currently 45 with some passing showers. Surface conditions I am told are very soft and forgiving but the terrain is much narrower. See attached photo. On the bright side we are expecting 2 - 5 " of snow tonight per below snow chart from WNYT, Albany. Colder weather is forecast for the weekend.
On a sad note, the old Mountain Brook Restaurant finally succumbed to the ravages of Irene in spite of attempts to save it and was being demolished yesterday and today - see photos.
Pray for snow,
Jon
