Hunter March 8
Hello Hunter fans,
Today was a fantastic Friday. Bright sun early warmed the
temps up from 3 to 36 now. There is no wind but a high cloud cover has moved in
to mute the sunshine just a bit.
The grooming was exceptional. Every main trail was coated with
corduroy powder on a flat granular surface. It was an ego ski & ride day.
Cliff / Racers was especially sweet.
The crowd was light for such a beautiful Friday. F lift was
running but not Z which has been down all week for a maintenance
issue.
Claire’s was closed this am but Wayout was open to Northern
Express.
Saturday should be a bright sunny day but Saturday night into
Sunday is another story with a forecast of early snow changing to sleet and then
rain with temps approaching 40. Big sales are on at all the local ski
shops.
Spring is around the corner,
Jon

Ex Hunter skier now manages Vail
A very interesting article that is a must for
all skiers and boarders to read.
Will PEAK be the next addition to Vail’s Epic
or Alterra’s Ikon pass?
Time will tell.

Hunter March 4 - powder day
Hi All,
Finally a sunny powder day at least until late am when clouds
rolled in. We had 4” of relatively light powder with temps holding in the mid
20’s.
The wind was gusty early but has since calmed down as temps
slowly climbed to about 30 now. There were freshies to be had for a
while.
Nothing above the top of B lift was groomed although I did not
go down the Belt. I preferred to stay in the sun. Minya, Eside, Hgate, Cliff,
Mid-station, Racers, Ike & Gunhill were not groomed but were cut up within a
half hour of opening. Huega I heard was badly wind blown by the switch-back with
a massive snow drift and slick ice. Kennedy was groomed and that was it from
what I saw. Except for a crowd waiting for the Flyer to open, it was a
relatively light turnout.
By 10 am it was bumpy clumps of powder with frozen granular in
between i.e. noisy scratchy skiing. Snow making is done so it all depends now on
the grooming and mother nature. We may get some lake effect snow this week but
only a dusting.
The rest of this week will be bitter cold with mid-winter like
conditions.
Hard to believe that we turn the clocks ahead this weekend –
get ready for crazy March weather.
Happy trails,
Jon
