Hunter Feb 16

Hi All,

Just thought I would give you an update on the lift situation.

The Flyer has been down since Wednesday with a fried circuit board. A replacement was flown in from Breckinridge and is supposedly being installed today. It will have to be inspected and tested before loading passengers.

The motor on the “F” lift which was recently overhauled has blown and there is no timetable for fixing it that I am aware of.

Hunter is running with Z, D & B on the main hill and they are running a shuttle bus to/from the west side.

The weather has been very warm and rainy. Temps Wed 45, yesterday 57 and 48 today. The snow has been receding from the sides and there are numerous brown patches showing. I was told that the east side trails are littered with pebbles.

The weather is supposed to turn colder tonight with some snow on Saturday night maybe 1-3 inches but warmer again next week. I am not aware of any plans to make snow in the near future but that could change considering Presidents week is around the corner.

Van Winkles in the KMC is suspending happy hour starting tonight and through all of next week.

Get ready for some variable conditions,

Jon
