HI All,
Winter continues on the mountain top – no spring here yet. On Monday and
Tuesday mornings we awoke to an inch of new snow that melted by late afternoon.
The night time temps have been in the 20’s and daytime only reaching to upper
30’s however with sun and some wind. Skiing has been excellent with groomed
granular conditions. The steeper west side trails usually open late morning.
The temp right now at 12:50 is 29 at the summit with a real feel of 20 and 40 at
the base. The weather outlook for Thursday is good but it goes downhill from
there on Good Friday and Saturday. Easter Sunday is looking good. We are not
done with snow yet. Hunter will decide tomorrow if the pond and deck party
scheduled for Saturday will be postponed until the following weekend due to
nasty weather predictions. The party was featured in today’s Daily Mail
newspaper: http://www.thedailymail.net/news/article_f82248bc-d803-11e4-a1f4-8f0800d45aad.html

I can finally report that the new Hunter Brewery (ex Fireside) will have a
soft opening tonight with an anticipated grand opening on Saturday. I have seen
it and the décor is very impressive especially for this area with 20 beer taps,
a full wine & liquor bar and great seating areas both inside and outside. I
will check out the menu – pub food – tonight. It will have its own 4 craft beers
in about 3 to 4 months.
None of the above information is an April Fools joke.
Ski ya around,
Jon
