Hunter January 10

Hello Hunter fans,

It was a fabulous Wednesday to ski – the second Wednesday in a row that equaled the best of the season. It was cold very early at 9 but quickly warmed up under brilliant sun to 36 now. There was no wind.

The grooming was exceptional with corduroy on every front side trail (did not go west) and no snow guns blowing to mess things up. Milky Way & Dropoff were closed but the rest offered very consistent ego snow without humps, ice or cat tracks. There was no F or D as is normal for a non-holiday midweek day. By late morning there was a line to the back of the Flyer corral.

I’m afraid that the rest of the week into the MLK weekend will not be so nice weather-wise as forecast below. Very warm & wet with rain and mixed precipitation Thursday through Saturday then a freeze on Sunday.

Happy trails,

Jon
