Hunter March 22

Hi all,
Worst conditions I have skied all year. Ski patrol told me to say on the groomed trails but even they were treacherous with nothing but broken up ice clumps, cookies and frozen granular / cat tracks. West was closed. The weather also sucked - cold damp breeze, low clouds, poor visibility and temps around 33. Needless to say, even though I waited until late morning, I did not stay out for long and neither did anyone else who had any common sense. There were no good trails. Should have stayed in Sun Valley! The weather does not look good for the rest of the week even with the 3 to 5" of wet snow expected (per RIP97) late tomorrow into Thursday but, hey - this is Hunter in March and anything can happen.
Ski ya, http://hunterskiscene.blogspot.com/
