Hi All,

As most of you know last Sat pond skimming was postponed early Sat morning due bad weather (as predicted) and held on Sun afternoon to a small but enthusiastic crowd. It was a sunny but cool, breezy day. The pond liner held up for the first time in 3 years to the delight of most who took 1 or 2 very cold dunks in the granular ice covered water. It looks like the mtn will open for Fri & Sat with a planned closing party and Easter egg hunt for Sat even tho the weather looks very "iffy". Skiing will be for advanced skiers only and those who like the risk of the heavy granular mush based on a visual look at the slopes - certainly rock skis would be advisable and bring a camera for bear pictures. FYI both Windham and Belleayre already closed for the season.

I will attach below the official Hunter news:

Hello from Hunter Mountain! The end of the season is nearer than ever, but we've got two days of skiing & riding left! Friday is Family Day here at Hunter...buy a full price ($35) adult ticket and get a young adult or junior lift ticket for free! On Saturday, all lift tickets cost only $19.59!!

We're having a massive Easter egg hunt all over the mountain on Saturday ... every egg has a great prize! Win discounts in the Expedition Center; lodging at the Kaatskill Mountain Club & Liftside Village or Mountain Club Spa; Group & Private Lessons; 09/10 lift ticket vouchers & 09/10 Big Lift Cards... there will even be two golden eggs...one with a mid-week season pass and one spotted golden egg holding a 09/10 season pass!

Hunt for the golden egg starts as soon as the lifts open on Saturday - so be ready. End the day with DJ FrankieOkie & The Solid Smoke Band playing the best of Motown...get your dancing shoes on for our last day of the season!
