Hi All,
Brrrrrr! Temp was minus 10 this am but now a heat wave at +8. It is very sunny with no wind making for some good cold weather skiing.
Sorry but I cannot give you first hand trail reports for a while as I broke a toe on my right foot Saturday - stubbed on a kitchen chair leg - tried it but can't wear a ski boot - ouch! Guns are on many trails (keep it dry Bruce!) and the reports from others are hard and fast surface conditions. Localmotion race # 3 is today with the post race party at Villa Vosilla. Other than a lot of racers there were not many on the hill today. Cold temps and some snow are forecast for the rest of the week with an eye on a possible big storm for Wednesday.
Congrats to all you Packer & Steeler fans!
Anxious to ski.......... http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/

Hunter skiing and powder alert Jan 20
Hi All,
Best day of the week by far - great sun, no wind, temps 18-22 and fabulous grooming on all trails except Claire's & Upper K27. Snow guns were on in many strategic spots and skiing was effortless. Thanks to Bruce & Skip. Best snow: Minya / Lower Cross but everything else was also quite nice including Rt. 80. Predictions for our area are 4 -8" late tonight through noon on Friday so get those powder boards ready! Crowds were minimal. Bundle up for some of the coldest temps of the season this weekend.
On a dining note: Van Winkles (at the Hotel) has a new young chef out of the CIA and the food is greatly improved so try it out but suggest make reservations for the weekend. Also half price drinks & free snacks at happy hour 4 - 6pm every day including weekends.

Hunter skiing & weather Jan 19
Hi All,
Managed to ski for a few hrs this am in spite of dense fog on top and light to moderate wet snow all morning. Visibility was very poor on top until you dropped down about 100 vertical ft but was still compromised by snow and flat light. Groomers could only get out this am due to the soft wet snow last night so one could only ski that which was groomed. White Cloud and Upper K were in fact closed today. The mountain was pretty empty as you can imagine after the weather we had yesterday - heavy bursts of rain late in the day. The surface conditions were very consistent on all groomed trails with a coating I can only describe as thick soft icing on a cake over spongy popcorn. Early runs were nice as one could carve up the icing but it soon became clumpy and a bit sticky making for some very cautious skiing. Wayout was nice but one had to drop down about 50 vertical ft to get out of the west side fog. Claire's was open but certainly not worth the risk of snow covered ice bumps which were not easily visible. The overnight temp was about 29 but up to 35 now and still snowing big wet flakes. The roads are slowly becoming manageable but slick. Starting tonight and going through the weekend we will be going into a deep freeze with highs only in single digits to low teens so everything is going to freeze up. The good news is that snow making will commence later today and into the days ahead.

Hunter skiing & weather Jan 18
Hi All,
I got excited when I awoke to 4" of fresh powder and blinding snow but that feeling quickly dissipated as the weather changed over to sleet by 8:30 am and then freezing rain by 10 am which quickly turned the surface into a compressed heavy sugar sludge. I must admit I did not attempt to ski it after getting to the mountain on very slick roads. The sleet felt like needles hitting your face and visibility was very poor. Shoveling the walk & driveway was real work. The temps climbed from 24 overnight to 30 now. Everything is expected to freeze tonight. The mountain looks like a ghost town with very few riding the lift. Let's hope tomorrow brings better weather for skiing / riding.
Until then............ http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/

Hunter powder skiing Jan 13
Hi All,
Another great day to ski here in winter wonderland with some fresh lake effect powder from last night on top of well groomed surfaces but a very cold 16 and high winds making wind chills close to zero. There were mostly high clouds with flurries and some bright spots but visibility was anyway okay. Best run was Rt. 80. Claire's which was not groomed was not a good choice today with lots of slick surfaces and hard bumps. Most of the front side trails were quite nice and the lifts were running normally. There was more of a crowd today than usual for a Thursday (There were a half a dozen bus groups up today) creating a slight line at the Flyer but none on the west side. There was no snow making today but we didn't need it. It is going to be cold and windy right through the weekend with flurries. Reminder: Saturday night there will be a torchlight parade and fireworks for MLK weekend so expect good size crowds.
No Friday report as usual.

Hunter powder skiing Jan 12
Hi all,
Mother nature provided some 10"- 12" of very sweet dry powder this am just in time for an early mid-week opening at 8:45. The scenery again was nothing less than a picture postcard with everything coated by a pristine white snow. The temp went from 16 to 22 now and although it is still snowing lightly it is much brighter as the sun tries to come out. The winds fortunately never really became a factor as predicted. The crowds were well spread out and lift lines were minimal. The roads still need alot of work but they are quite passable. With good grooming tonight, tomorrow could be a sensational day to ski or ride. Skiing was sweet for about 45 mins before the hounds chopped it all up and then it became quite bumpy / clumpy but still light powder. There were no bad or even marginal trails today - it was all good!
Ski ya soon, http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/

Hunter skiing and powder alert Jan 11
Hello powder hounds,
Here we go again: 10-14" forecast for tonight into tomorrow - see details below.
Another spectacular morning of skiing today. The fog lifted early leaving a stunning frosted landscape with breath taking views of the mountains rising above the fog shrouded valleys. For once Hunter was in the sun and the rest of the local world was fogged in! Claire's and Wayout were groomed top to bottom and provided for some great skiing. New snow on Ike, Bleeker and great grooming on the rest of the front side made for easy ego skiing. The temps were steady between 19 & 22 with no wind and all lifts were running smoothly with minimal crowds. Clouds rolled in shortly after noon time. The winds are expected to strengthen in the morning and it could affect lift ops.
Saturday there will be a torchlight parade and fireworks for MLK weekend.

At this time, it appears snow will reach much of our viewing area between 12 am and 3 am Wednesday morning. There will be 2-4 inches of snow on the ground on average across the area by the morning drive.
