Hello all and Happy
New Year!
The planet has shifted
and we are now in the North Pole. Recovery is still under way from the heavy
rains and warm 57 temps last weekend. The guns have been on around the clock but
the strong winds are definitely hampering efforts to cover all the trails. It
was 15 at the base and 0 at the summit this am with a strong steady wind
greeting you as you tried to exit the chairlift. Grooming was minimal last night
as only the main line was flat but covered with nice powder once one made the
first turn towards Hgate. The very top was wind blown. Cliff, Ike, Minya,
Lowercross, Huega all covered with big but soft whale humps. Gunhill was
groomed. The light was good until about 11:15 am when the next front and squall
line started to advance on us. Someone turned out the lights - the winds really
kicked in and the temp is on its way down to minus 5 this evening. The entire
area is under a wind chill warning for tonight and tomorrow and they are talking
about 30 below zero. I did not venture over to the west side – too dark and
windy but heard it was groomed.
Restaurant news: The
Brewery (old Fireside) is still not open. Roseberry’s (site of the old
Heartbreak / Hunter House) is now open 7 days from 4 pm with a restaurant &
bar happy hr 4 –7. Karen’s Kitchen, located in the Hunter Village Square
building across from the Village Hardware store is open for breakfast and lunch
Thurs – Mon. Happy hour 4 – 6 has returned to the hotel @ Van
Winkles.
Bundle
up,
Jon
