Hunter March 7

Hi All,
Crazy March weather! After raining all day yesterday it turned to sleet and snow around 6 last night and dumped about 4-6" of heavy crusty sugar on top of about a 1/4" of ice making for a rough start to the day. The Flyer opened around 9:40 and "B" around 10:20 due to de-icing operations. Roads were a mess and schools were closed again. The top of the mtn was colder and dry so there was more of a powdery mix of snow - up to 8" in spots but very windy and cold at 20. The sun broke thru around 2 pm and temps now around 32. I did not venture out but reports were from "just okay" on the front to "very nice" on the west side which opened near 11:30. No steeps were groomed - not even Cliff or Hgate. There was Localmotion # 5 on Madison but I heard there were not alot of racers. The post race party is at Bear Creek. Tomorrow and Wed should be great ski days.
Ski ya,
Jon
