Hunter Feb 18

Hello all,
The last 2 days have tied a season record for midweek sunny days. Today brought a brilliant blue sky, loads of sun and exceptional powdered corduroy grooming on all trails including Claire’s. Temps were up from an early morning low of –5 to 23 now which feels like a heat wave. There was no wind, minimal lines for a holiday week Wednesday, and the “F” was running. It was ego snow top to bottom on virtually all trails. 44 was closed this am and it looked very slick.
Easily a top 5 day in anyone’s opinion. According to the forecast, that is the end of nice weather for a while. Some snow tonight then into the deep freeze again with below zero nights and single digit days for Friday and the weekend with more snow: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Hunter&state=NY&site=ALY&lat=42.2112&lon=-74.2157#.VOTrbi6wFBI  February is poised to set a multi decade record for cold here in Hunter.
Happy hour at VW’s will resume on Monday Feb 23. The Copper Tree re-opens on Friday for the weekend and you may want to try that steaming hot bowl of Japanese noodles.
Wishing all 150 or so of the NJ Ski Council people headed out to Telluride this weekend for a week a great trip! Hope you get some much needed snow – it’s all here this year!
Keep those extra layers handy and don’t put the snow shovels away yet. Hunter announced a closing date of Sunday April 12.
Jon
