Hunter Feb 23

Hello Hunter fans,

Today brought early rain which ended by 9 am then sun and clouds but a strong wind with temps holding steady at 37 - 38. There was a light wet dusting of snow on top. The surface conditions were consistent loose soft granular on frozen granular turning very soft by late morning. Skiing was said to be excellent with great visibility. There were no lift lines. The weather definitely looks ugly for Friday with a mixed bag of wet tricks and colder for the weekend.

The movies have still not been posted - maybe later today but here is the link: http://www.catskillmtn.org/retail/movie-theater/index.html

Be prepared for crazy weather,

Jon
