Hunter Feb 16

Hi All,
What a difference a day makes! Lots of new snow blown last night and yesterday - some left ungroomed on Eside but most groomed like on Minya, H-B-K, Cliff /Racer's. In general skiing was very nice. There were patches of groomed powder and loose granular so consistency was a bit of a problem but visibility was excellent. Claire's was groomed top to bottom with nice loose granular as was Wayout. UpperK also nicely groomed with LowerK starting to soften up by noon-time. Thanks GM. The crowds were very light but F was also running today. The temps went from a low of 9 this am to 42 now with lots of early sun. It is cloudy now and we may get some wet stuff within the hour according to the radar picture. Claire's is getting a full grooming again tonight. Fireworks again this Sat nite for President's weekend.
Hunter weekend movies: The King's Speech, Looking for Palladin, Black Swan. Go to: http://www.catskillmtn.org/retail/movie-theater/index.html for times.
Prepare for spring-like variable conditions over the weekend and into next week.
Ski ya,
Jon
