Hunter March 26

Hello Hunter fans,
Winter just won't let go. Upper 20's last night, only 34 now with a stiff breeze and crazy changing weather with mostly dark clouds bringing some heavy snow squalls and some flurries off the great lakes with a few glimpses of the sun. There was actually some accumulation on the top half of the mtn. I did not ski but I can tell you surface conditions were excellent however visibilty went from near zero during the squalls to okay. The mtn policy this school holiday week has been to groom every trail every night except Racer's and Claire's which get groomed alternatively every other night. Last night it was Claire's turn but Racer's was anyway good. Upper K was not done either. There were more than the usual number of people for a Tuesday (school holiday) but not enough for a lift line. A definite closing date has still not been established as they are waffling on opening during the week after April 7. It will be based on how many customers they think they will have so like several past seasons it will come down to a last minute decision - It's all about the $money$ now.
The 7 day forecast calls for more variable weather with possibilities for snow & rain as we head towards the weekend with a gradual warming trend into the low 40's.
You'll need wax on those skis and boards - it's getting sticky.
It's ski & party time - Happy Passover and Easter holidays.
Jon
