Hunter January 22

Hello all,

Come on up and enjoy some of the best skiing of the young season.

Today easily was a top 2 day with great sun, no wind and fresh powder from lots of snow making on groomed corduroy. It was very cold with summit temps in single digits and  22 at the base.

Guns were blasting fresh powder in many areas especially the entire mid-station section. The Cliff and Huega were not groomed (probably tonight). Huega was full of soft whale humps which were fun to ski since there was no ice for a change. There is massive snow making now on Apurna which may officially open tomorrow for the first time in 3 years.  Claire’s is in very good shape.  The depth of the snow base is now quite substantial on most trails especially Hgate which I would estimate at 7 ft.

They were running “F” today but it really was not needed. All of you from downstate, LI & NJ better get on the road tonight if you plan to make it up here. We are not expected to get any more than an inch or two if any out of the storm. IT will however be cloudy and windy.

Winter has arrived!! Enjoy the weekend.

Jon
