Hunter January 25

Hello Hunter fans and storm survivors,

All I can say is OMG!  What a day to be on the slopes – best of the season by many accounts. Those of you who stayed up here because of the down state snow conditions had a real treat. Not a single snowflake up here from the storm.

Great sun, NO WIND and temps that went from an overnight low of 25 to 37 now. Every popular front-side trail had consistent excellent groomed (thanks Skip!) powdery conditions (Thanks Bruce!). Apurna & Claire’s were not groomed but softened by late morning. Cliff / Racer’s / Ike / Gunhill magnificent! HBK, Minya, Eside, Huega etc. couldn’t have been much better.

There were no crowds, no lift issues and no snow guns to deal with. Today was the first of the Localmotion races for all the mid and late life wannabe racers. ( I expect some feedback for that comment but hey – I really don’t care)

Even though the grooming report showed Lower K groomed it was only the run out – a bit of misinformation there. They do not groom the headwall.

The weather for the week looks to be okay for the most part with some mixed precip Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Going to be a great week – come play hooky!

Jon
