Hunter Mtn=EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all fine and well drjeff, but I can see why folks are upset when Jimminy is open.

Hunter could be open right now. People aren't claiming to be weather experts. They're just upset their mountain didn't go for it like Jimminy did.

Don't count me in on that... I could care less about Jimminy... I just want Hunter to open... haha.. December 1st...

It would be a great day to ride today... gorgeous outside!!

My biggest gripe is the LACK of Communication coming from Hunter! the word soon does not cut it!

I could care less about Jimminy...

Should be - I couldn't care less... :wink: Saying you could care less implies that you care some what.

<<slow clap>>

Lets get back on Topic folks!

 

[JimG.]

I don't really care about Jiminy other than I might have to ski there on Sunday because Hunter decided to not open. Jiminy took a chance, Hunter didn't.

That's all I'm saying.

From looking at the weather, I am gonna go out on a limb and say they start making snow Saturday/Saturday Night. Lets hope I am right!

 

[JimG.]

Let's not be too negative...I'm sure they will try to make up for it with a snowmaking blitz when possible.

Today it was warm...didn't need a jacket.

That's pretty much the answer though. The lowest it's gone at the base in the past 2 weeks is 21F. It's been humid, and if they had an inversion up top, you're talking very marginal snowmaking.

There are 10-20F nighttime lows coming up, with cold day temps too, I expect the cloud will be here soon.

Is this the great plan, to be ordinary? To be like little ski areas Hunter used to blow out of the water? That's not the Hunter I remember! Letting Jiminy open without so much as a whimper? Outrageous!

How the mighty have fallen! Disgusting! Shameful!

sounds like what many of us were saying about killington under nyberg the past 5 years. this season under a new president the boos have turned to cheers. hopefully at some point hunter will get back to being hunter.

The only way they get back to being Hunter, is to be bought. The current ownership does not have it in them, sorry to say!

Yes the forecast is looking pretty good.

My son was poking around on the web cams this morning. Much to my surprise it looks like Windham has the jump on Hunter. It looked to me like they were blowing and had some down while Hunter looked quiet. Could it be that one side of the ridge has snowmaking temps while the other does not? Not sure how much it matters cause it looks like the window is gonna open for a little while and everyone (including the pokes) is going to get going. Just surprised me and I had to comment.

From Windham's Snow Conditions Page:

November 24, 2012

Ready...Set...Snow! Our snowmaking crew cranked up the guns at 7am this morning, and will keep them on every minute that temps allow. We will be focusing on Upper and Lower Whistler, Upper and Lower Wolverine, What's Next, Upper White Way, Wooly Bear and the Base Area just to get us started. We've stacked these trails with more than 170 snow guns to open with the best conditions possible - as soon as possible. We'll keep you posted with the latest updates.
