Hunter January 27

Hello Hunter fans,
Didn’t go out yesterday due to flat light, early rain, temps at 48 & high wind. I was told surface conditions were soft and consistent if you could see it. The Flyer was unloaded and shut down late morning for about an hour and there were other lift issues later. Temps dropped into the upper 20’s last night and you know what that means after a spring-like day. Even with heading out late at 10 this am I found surface conditions hard marbles and slick spots – very variable. One could only ski where it was groomed otherwise it was shiny surfaces. The sun was out for a while but now we have flurries, flat light & wind. Temps around 35 at the base, 26 on top with 15-20 mph wind. The only consistent flat surface run was Cliff/ Racers but it was noisy. The groomers did their best but the marbles were no fun so it was a short day for me at least. The main line and all east side trails were marbles. There were and are no guns on. There were no lift issues today – so far - and no crowds. They were checking all lift tickets for the first time this season.
Looks like a variable cold and windy week & weekend ahead. Bring back Monday!
Ski on.............
