Hunter Jan 9

Hi All,
Another beautiful day to be out on the slopes!  Overnight temps stayed at 12 and warmed up to 23 with oodles of sun and no wind. Snow making was suspended which was fine (the guys did a great job lately and needed a rest) but grooming was almost non-existent which was not okay. Most trails were left untouched from yesterday except for Claire's which fortunately was groomed out flat from top to bottom and accounted for most of my runs today - It was as good as it gets. Wayout was all swales but powdery from yesterday's snow making. Eside was a mess of whale humps and bumps and the Cliff was very bumpy. Racer's however stayed flat, firm and fast but with a thin powder surface. The main line was a bit inconsistent with some whales at the top of Hgate but easy to navigate due to the excellent visibility. The crowd was relatively light with a very minor wait for the Flyer. I was told that there will be some major grooming tonight but it looks cloudy for tomorrow. The weekend weather unfortunately does not look good at all:  http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Hunter&state=NY&site=ALY&lat=42.2112&lon=-74.2157#.Us7_1vuvkrc
Looks like a party weekend so party on.......
