Hunter skiing & weather Feb 1

Hi Snow-lovers,
Mother nature gave us 4 to 5" of fresh powder (tho a bit damp) from early this am until about an hour ago. GM reported freshies on well groomed trails including Claire's & Apurna. Racer's was however a bit wind blown and scratchy as was the Cliff but the balance of the face was excellent. The snow was falling very heavily at times impairing visibility but speed was not a real option today. The temp was around 17 earlier but now 22 and it feels damp. There were no power outages yet that I know of. The crowd was very light and only a handful of chairs were full when the mountain opened. The FDNY races were held but the snow caused the East Coast Firefighters race to be postponed and re-scheduled for March 8th. Much more snow is expected overnight and thru the day tomorrow and I only hope we are north of the rain / sleet line otherwise all this nice snow will be compressed into "you know what" - see below forecast. Roads are still being cleared and all area schools were closed today and most likely tomorrow too.

The Groundhog will be lucky to dig out of his hole let alone see his shadow tomorrow!
