Hunter Jan 6

Hi All,

Didn't ski yesterday due to a cold or today due to the funeral for Ethel - extraordinary turnout & tribute to a "Woman of Substance". It was cold, a high of 22 today with wind and little sun. The mtn was in very good shape. Apurna was groomed again last night and Claire's will get the top to bottom grooming tonight. The lifts were running normally. Hunter is seriously considering replacing the quad with a detachable high speed six-pack which would involve an investment of between $6 & 7 million. Your written comments to their web/blog site could help support such a decision.

The following was from their official newsletter concerning this coming weekend:

It is ON at Hunter this weekend... our 50th Anniversary finale party kicks off on Saturday, after the groundbreaking for our new zipline project. The zipline groundbreaking starts at 2:30pm , followed by the Hall of Fame induction, followed by ESPN giveaways (including in the ESPN suite for multiple events!), bar promos, a DJ, live entertainment and Main Bar shenanigans. This includes fireworks!!

This weekend will again be bitterly cold with snow showers & flurries. Hunter remains a frozen tundra - nothing has melted.

Ski ya,

Jon
