Hi All,

Finally spring skiing returns although early am was still winter conditions. Temps went from 21 to 40 now but still a bit breezy. Temp at the summit ranged from 20 - 24 thru 1:30 pm. The sun was strong again and softened the snow alot more and sooner than yesterday but you still took a risk by skiing ungroomed trails which included Racer's, Gunhill, Milky. Claire's was closed (glare ice) and Wayout wasn't pleasant until after noon time. Best trail today with very sweet corn snow: Eside to Lowercross followed by Minya, HBK & Cliff /Ike. Quad was running slow all day due to occasional gusty winds but really not warranted. The cold nights have really preserved base as only one trail is closed for lack of snow - Apurna. Tomorrow could be the best day of the week before rain arrives Thurs and again on Sunday. Diane reported that Vince's prostate surgery was successful and he is in recovery - good news!! Today Hunter hosted a Windham vs. Hunter employee ski race challenge on Madison - don't know who won (don't care). The crowd today was very light again as expected. http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/

Ski ya,

Jon
