Hunter March 9

Hello Hunter Fans

Hunter is contemplating making snow again in order to recover from the recent warmth & rain. This would be unprecedented but necessary in order to make it through March. The mountain is not in good shape.

This weekend will be sponsored by Moet Hennessy with a host of events including a torchlight parade and fireworks Saturday night. Their premier spirit Belvedere Vodka will be the focus of the event.

FYI - They sold the Grand Marnier brand to Campari.

The event schedule is below.

The weekend weather will be bitter cold & windy with little or no snow accumulation. Lift operations could be affected by the wind. There is a winter storm watch for next Tuesday.

For those of you who have asked, my rotator cuff surgery last Friday was successful and I await the start of PT in a few weeks – ugh & ouch!

Bundle up and have sharp edges!

Jon
