Hunter January 30

Hello Hunter fans,

All I can say is the best part of today was the sun because it sure wasn’t the skiing. Looks can be very deceiving. The temps started out at 9 but climbed to 32 now with a strong cloudless and windless sun / sky.

After all the snow making, which was very inconsistent as was the skiing, only 2 trails from the top were groomed flat with a frozen granular surface: the main line and East Side. The west side, north side and Belt Parkway were all CLOSED today due to very inconsistent whale humps from the snow making. Skiing once again was noisy with some guns still blasting away. There was a wet one near the top of Racer’s with inconsistent terrain below. Ike had nice powder but that was it.

All other trails required some defensive and focused skiing / riding. The crowds were light with minimal lines – no D or F. 

It is forecast to cloud up at some point tomorrow and last through the weekend with a mix of precipitation.

Disappointingly,

Jon
