Hunter powder skiing Jan 13

Hi All,
Another great day to ski here in winter wonderland with some fresh lake effect powder from last night on top of well groomed surfaces but a very cold 16 and high winds making wind chills close to zero. There were mostly high clouds with flurries and some bright spots but visibility was anyway okay. Best run was Rt. 80. Claire's which was not groomed was not a good choice today with lots of slick surfaces and hard bumps. Most of the front side trails were quite nice and the lifts were running normally. There was more of a crowd today than usual for a Thursday (There were a half a dozen bus groups up today) creating a slight line at the Flyer but none on the west side. There was no snow making today but we didn't need it. It is going to be cold and windy right through the weekend with flurries. Reminder: Saturday night there will be a torchlight parade and fireworks for MLK weekend so expect good size crowds.
No Friday report as usual.
Bundle up - ski ya, http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/
