Hunter March 6

Hello Hunter Fans,

OMG –What a great day to be on the slopes! Definitely in the top 5.  A bluebird sky, temps from 12 early to 40 now and no wind. The 30” of snow has been packed and groomed into corduroy powder.

All front side trails were groomed except Cliff, Racer’s, K27 & Milky Way. The west side was groomed except for Apurna.  Westway was closed. Claire’s and White Cloud/Wayout were awesome!

There were no lines – skied right onto the Flyer. There were no lift issues and “F” was running too but don’t know why as it was not needed. No “D” lift.

As many of you know there is another Nor’easter starting after midnight tonight and running through Thursday morning which is expected to dump another 12 – 16” of snow but not as wet this time around.

There will also be gusty winds with this storm so power is again a big concern as all of us including the mountain had none for 30+ hours this past weekend. There is also something brewing for late Sunday & Monday.

This last storm has saved Hunter from an early closing and laid down a new base. So much for spring!

 

Will be heading to Jessie’s tonight for burger night – best burgers on the mountain top.

Be safe and don’t forget to move your clocks ahead on Sunday morning.

Jon
