Happy New Year Hunter fans!
The massive crowds have left but most of the 20" of
natural snow we had from last Thur - Sat is still here thanks to colder than
normal temps. The mtn continues to blow snow on top of what we have. Skiing was
sensational today at least while the sun was out. Clouds and some lake effect
weather moved in around 11 causing visibilty issues. Temps were 12 overnight but
now 23 at the base and still 12 on top with a light wind. There was a light lift
line due to college week but no "D" or "F" needed or open. Lower K27 opened with
heavy snow making ongoing and although I did not ski it, the reports ranged from
great to wet guns and poor visibilty. HBK was very sweet as was most of the
front side. Mid station was creamy light freshly blown powder. Claire's was
under heavy snow making in the chutes and needed grooming. Wayout was very good
tho dark. 44 was under heavy snow making along the fence line and was not open.
Eside, Milky and Minya were also sweet but getting scraped off. Hunter has the
most open and decent skiable terrain in a few years. The big dip leading up to
the west side lift is much improved but the last section still requires some
speed to reach the lift. The grooming has been exceptional - thanks
Skip!
