Hunter skiing Jan 21

Hi All,
What a bonus day - I would give it a rare 9.5. I don't know if it is coincidence or not with my yesterday's report but they blew much needed nice dry snow last night on the main line and e-side trails in addition to great grooming. The sun, brilliant blue sky, no wind and temps from early high teens to 30 made for a picture perfect day with all the trees frosted and glistening. PM deck temps were well into the 60's. It was another ski on / ski off the quad day i.e. no crowds. All front side trails were very nice except Racer's which was not groomed and the little amount of new snow they blew on it didn't hold well on the ice underneath. Claire's and Wayout were groomed to perfection - top to bottom - and are being set up for snow making tonight. Apurna was a no go - ice bumps and rocks. Friday and Sat look to be just as nice for the first string of 2 to 3 sunny days in a row in a very long time. Sunday is not looking good (see below Albany forecast) with clouds & cold wet weather coming in the pm and into Monday.
Ski ya,
Jon

First Warning Forecast ALBANY - WNYT
High pressure will dominate our weather into the weekend bringing plenty of sunshine and pleasant temperatures, with highs in the middle 30's today and tomorrow and lower 30's on Saturday.

On Sunday, a storm will head our way from the Ohio Valley. Right now it looks warm enough to produce mainly rain across our area from late Sunday into Monday morning. There is a chance that precipitation could begin as light snow or a mix but a change to rain is likely before long. Highs on Sunday will be in the upper 30's and into the lower 40's on Monday.

Readings will get colder on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week behind the storm.
