Hunter Monday?

[Greg]

Might be interested in hitting Hunter Monday. Especially if they get big snow this weekend and the weekend crowds ski in some nice bumps. Interested in stuff like this:

Anyone?

I'm not opposed to remaining flexible and going where the snow is. But Hunter and Mount Snow is about my day trip limit these days.

Hi Ben - welcome! Yeah those are pics of Claire's, but note that's from last March a few days after the epic multi-day dump.

def give a shout if u head over to Bel, i have to give em credit this year on bumps, seems like they are giving it a little more focus early in the season, as example have let onteora go ungroomed all the way down. looks like relabeled the blue part as black so may be new strategy. also, seems like intend to let belleayre run go as well. both of those earlier than i recall in prior years. nothing spectacular but keeps the mountain interesting

Calling DMC

I just got a call from a friend of mine who will be DJing at Slopes tomorow night. As part of the deal he get's a room. He's not a skier, but he needs a ride (thats where I come in) I'm not much of a bumper but don't mind doing a little recon... I haven't been to Hunter in 20yrs, any advice on the hotel or what I'm in store for would be apprecaited. Also DMC had layed out his stratagey for avoiding weeekend crowds in another thread, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be cool. Thanx, Planx Oh, I'd hate to pay full price for lift tix so any pointers in that department would be geratley apprecatied as well

I've always wondered how they can predict snow accumulation amounts...cause I don't think its possible...as long as they get something..its better than nothing.

 

[powhunter]

Hunters is reporting 10 inches

I'm still in for Hunter tomorrow. I'll call you later.

 

[twinplanx]

idk if it was 10" but there was a good pile of fresh fluff on top of that hardpack. Lets call it a variable surface(more like sugar on ice) w/ that fluff accumulating along trail edges & bumps all over the place...
