Hi All,

What an ugly day of skiing. It was back to winter.....very cold, windy, cloudy with very flat light at least until noon time when some sun broke through. The temp never got above 28 at the base or 10 at the summit and the wind was steady and strong. Surface conditions were hard and fast with loose frozen granules on top of a frozen granular base i.e. bullet proof! The grooming was as good as it could be considering the frozen mess they had to work with and what wasn't groomed was closed like Racer's. I didn't bother to check out the west side. There is no way it was going to soften up much today and by noon it was all scrapped off by the meager crowd that was there. Snow farming was evident at the quad load and discharge areas. Fortunately, Fri thru Sun still looking good weather-wise for you weekend skiers but you better have sharp edges and wax. I am glad to see that some more of you are checking out the blog site and leaving comments: http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/

You may notice that the old lift chairs on the sun deck received a fresh coat of blue paint and some new padding this week just in time for a spring deck party.

Ski on........
