Date(s) Skied: 04-03-2004
Resort or Ski Area: Hunter Mountain
Conditions: Wet granular/wet powder - Temp in the low to mid 30's - partly cloudy
Trip Report: I Couldn't walk my usual route to the mountain. The water was about 3 feet above the board we use to get across the small stream at the edge of the parking lot. So I drove right up to the first row of the parking lot and was walking up to the Quad("A" chair) about 11:15. Right about that time the rain (that flooded part of the town last night) turned to heavey snow. I walked right up the "the quad" and strapped in. There were MAYBE 50 people skiing..
Did not see all that much damage from the storm.
Racers Edge
Eisenhower - Still wall to wall snow.
Looking over at Race City - Park in the background
Belt Parkway - through the trees..
Further up the Quad there was a big blowout of dirt and ice around the old deck and "middle station"
Hellgate - deep snow, We'll be skiing this until July!!!
Upper Claires
Lower Claires - this spot was the only real bare spot
Westway looks bad - I doubt they'll reopen it but it IS still skiable.
Not sure about Anna Purna.. Pretty much rode Claires over and over agin.. The sun came out for a few runs!!! It was amazing. Absolutey nobody out and the sun shining..
After I hit Claires I rode down to look a Lower K27.. It was closed - the runout is in bad shape but I bet they can groom out the bare spots if they want.
Second best run was the Cliff/Racers Edge combo. The bumps had nice spacing so I could cruise fast..
Great day! With a little fresh mixed in between the bumps..
Next weekend is the last weekend of chairs
There's still tons of snow...
