Hunter skiing and powder alert Jan 20

Hi All,
Best day of the week by far - great sun, no wind, temps 18-22 and fabulous grooming on all trails except Claire's & Upper K27. Snow guns were on in many strategic spots and skiing was effortless. Thanks to Bruce & Skip. Best snow: Minya / Lower Cross but everything else was also quite nice including Rt. 80. Predictions for our area are 4 -8" late tonight through noon on Friday so get those powder boards ready! Crowds were minimal. Bundle up for some of the coldest temps of the season this weekend.
On a dining note: Van Winkles (at the Hotel) has a new young chef out of the CIA and the food is greatly improved so try it out but suggest make reservations for the weekend. Also half price drinks & free snacks at happy hour 4 - 6pm every day including weekends.
