Hi All,
Remember the words whispered to Caesar "Beware the
ides of March" - well today there was nothing to beware of - yesterday's brutal
arctic dark cold windy weather is gone. The sun was out early and strong with
just a light breeze and temps were 20 overnight but 30 by the time the lift
opened. The grooming was excellent and the surface conditions were hard, fast,
flat, easy & enjoyable. Cliff/Racer's or Ike - great as was HBK and the
Eside trails. There was no ice although Claire's had a bit of a shine to it and
Wayout was in great shape. Where it wasn't groomed looked like moonscape. Not
much coverage left on 44 or Apurna which were closed. The sun disappeared around
11:30 and it is snowing lightly now at 33. Looks like cold weather will preserve
the snow for the weekend but you need good edges. Forecasts: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Hunter&state=NY&site=ALY&lat=42.2112&lon=-74.2157

Sunday - St. Patty's day, looks to be the sunnier of the two.
Last weekend for Bear Creek - reservations
recommended.
Watch out for that green beer and local law
enforcement but stay thirsty my friends,
Jon
