Hunter opening on Wednesday

**inhalexhale** · Nov 19, 2007, 9:19 AM

Hunter Mountain will be opening on Wednesday, 11/21/2007. Upper mountain only, F-lift servicing and Hellgate / 7th Ave to F-Lift will be available. Quad (A) will be used for the ride up and back down to base.

These trails are open to advanced skiers only, until we open summit-to-base.

Sweet! Looks like a brief warm-up Wed/T-Day and then a nice cool down for the weekend. Sunday should be good. T2B by then, I'd imagine. Maybe Ike too?

That's a fair assumption. As guessed, we're blowing a lot on the top and waiting for the weather to cool for good. We've been watching the forecast teeter around Thanksgiving but it has remained warm, so we are just going to wait to blow to base.

Certainly a smart move. Everyone knows you can get it done once the time is right. Thinking cold for you!

Hellgate and Broadway look buried and I see you're inching your way down Kennedy:

Hoping the warm-up is brief and you can blast the hill after T-Day. How are the webcams coming along?

**inhalexhale** · Nov 19, 2007, 12:28 PM

We ordered the webcams. They just haven't shown up yet....so for the time being, its out of our hands. We've already paid for their set-up and everything, so as soon as they show up, they'll be set up.

With Hunter not top to bottom..and most likely not for the weekend...I'm thinking of hitting Belleayre on Saturday and then going to Killington for Sunday and Monday...

That's for 1,807' which is basically the base. They'll get Kennedy and maybe even Ike open by Sunday, I'd imagine. I'm there even if they're still downloading.

If the temps get that cold, we will definitely move down. Anything below 18 and dry is really good snowmaking weather. We just have to get past that rain and warmth, then we're set.
