Hunter March 9

Hi All,
Well we didn't get a repeat of yesterday. Today was dominated by clouds, very flat light and a wind out of the east with temps from low 20's to 34 now. It was a damp penetrating cold morning. The surface conditions were very nice since the snow softened up a bit and the grooming once again was excellent. Cliff / Racer's was sweet but visibility was an issue. The east side trails and Hgate greeted you with a stiff wind for most of the way down. I did not head west today so really can't comment on it. The weather will be a major issue for the next few days and local streams could cause some flooding. Ice has been falling off the cliffs on Rt 23A so be careful when driving up the mountain road.
Bring your wet weather gear and prepare for spring conditions.
