Hunter Feb 13

Hi All,
What a beautiful day to be skiing - too bad I'm not out yet due to a confirmed torn rotator cuff.
Temps dipped into the mid 20's last night but rebounded quickly to 40 now (60 on the deck in the sun).
Loads of sun, no wind and a great base that was well groomed. My sources told me that the East Side trails softened first and were like skiing through icing on a cake. Claire's was scary this am with alot of hard ice - maybe soft enough to enjoy now. Racer's was primo as was the rest of the face of the mtn. For those of you that were here on Sunday you were part of a 10 year record crowd!
There was a decent crowd for a Wednesday with only minor lift lines and no lift problems.
Tomorrow the mtn is hosting a free Valentine's Day "renew your vows" ceremony at the summit wedding deck for those with lift tickets and the ability to ski down.  I understand there will be alot of participants (see below).
There will be fireworks Sat night to start off Presidents week.
The weather will continue with cold nights and warmer days with some mixed precipitaion on Friday night into Sat. http://www.ctweather.com/wrip-weather.php or you can go to:  http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Hunter&state=NY&site=ALY&lat=42.2112&lon=-74.2157
Don't forget your significant other tomorrow or you will join Fido in the dog house!
Ski ya,
Jon
 
Take your love to new heights this Valentine’s Day at Hunter Mountain!  We are arranging for couples to renew their vows at the summit with a special ceremony. The offer is extended to any married couple with lift tickets or season passes who are able to ski or ride from the top of the mountain.  Everyone participating will meet on the summit deck at 10:30am.  Reverend Karen Monk, of the Kaaterskill United Methodist Church will be there to officiate the ceremony. After the “I Do's”, the group will be treated to a small reception at the summit lodge.
 
Not that this has anything to do with skiing but for those of you who drink diet soda, best read this news:
