Hunter skiing Jan 11

Hi All,

Finally back on the slopes just in time to enjoy a perfectly groomed front side where all trails were courderoy powder with no wind , temp mid 20's (up from 10 early thia am) and a diffused sun through high thin clouds making for decent visibility. Best part: skiing right onto the quad which was moving well today. F was also running well. Every trail on the front was excellent and Cliff / Racer's or Ike had a slight edge over the rest. Wayout via White Cloud was groomed and was very sweet. Claire's was flat and edgeable but not groomed last night and Apurna was slick on the top part, flat and fast - really not worth it with all the good snow on the front. Localmotion Race # 2 was held today with the post race party at MacGregor's. No snow making in progress. Forecast for continued cold and some light snow tonight with a slight warming trend for later in the week. The mountain is in great shape and the skiing is really primo now. John Brennan won the trip for 2 to Vail in Sat nights drawing during a great 50th anniv party thrown by the mtn - biggest crowd I have seen at the mtn in many years!

Next weekend's movie: "The Blind Side". http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/

Ski ya,
