Hunter Dec 19

Hello Everyone,
Just another day in paradise - 2 in a row! Cobalt blue cloudless sky, temps from 24 early to 41 now and lots of nicely groomed powder with a very minimal lift line. The only downside this morning was a very strong wind on the west side that affected skiing from top to bottom and caused the quad lift to operate at a snails pace. Wayout was nice and Claire's was groomed flat from top to bottom but the wind was blowing the snow around. I would think it is much better this afternoon. Best consistent run for surface conditions: Eside/Milky. Minya & Lowercross were not groomed and were a bit rough. Everything else on the front was in great shape including HBK & Cliff/Racers/Ike/Gunhill.  LowerK27 closed. Unfortunately today may be the last really nice day for a while with warm & wet weather coming in and snow making has ceased:  http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Hunter&state=NY&site=ALY&lat=42.2112&lon=-74.2157#.UrM4ZCevkrc
The Bakery / Bagel shop in Hunter is not open - maybe another week at most.
The old Fireside Restaurant  AKA  Casarellas on 23A (opposite the entrance to the dump) with views to die for may be opening soon as a brewery / restaurant. Trying to get more details.
The Copper Tree Restaurant and Bar in the base lodge will not be opening this weekend as previously thought.
Tis the season to party on.....
Jon
