Hello Hunter fans,
As you know the Snow Gods have not been kind to
Hunter. Maybe we didn't sacrifice enough skis at the
ULLR-fest.
The unusually warm temps have wreaked havoc on the
conditions with temps yesterday at 60 and rain last night. With very sloppy
spring conditions grooming has been next to impossible. The guns will definitely
be turned on tonight as temps cool off (still in the low 40's now) but for how
long remains to be seen. The week ahead forecast (below) is not exactly
favorable. You can see what snow is left yourself by clicking on this link to
the snow web cams: http://www.huntermtn.com/huntermtn/webcams.aspx
Consumer demo days are scheduled for this weekend
but I am not sure that it will be feasable.
The weekend movies include James Bond / Skyfall:

Thanks to Al D. for the following info for you
mid-week skiers:
We have a mid-week co-ed Clinic that is scheduled to
start on
Dec. 12 that has a few spots open.
If anyone is interested in getting some feed back and
direction on how to increase their skills...it's an ideal time. We mostly ski.
But individual observation is prevalent. If you're
interested contact Kris Karas at the Ski School. The price is about $15. a day.
Also note this weekend is a toy collection by
Hunter Mtn for the kids on Staten Island affected by "Sandy":
This Saturday and Sunday we will be collecting new
toys in the Marketing office by Snowsports Services. These toys will then be
donated to Saint Margaret Mary’s Parish in Staten Island, to be given to
children for the holidays. This area of Staten Island (NYC precinct 122) was
severely hit by Superstorm Sandy in November, so many families will need a
little extra cheer this season. Please help us share some joy by bringing in a
new, unwrapped toy or two—it will be greatly appreciated.
And finally, the NWS 7 day forecast: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Hunter&state=NY&site=ALY&lat=42.2112&lon=-74.2157
Ski ya soon,
Jon
