Hunter - Friday, 12/15/2006

madskier6 · Dec 13, 2006

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it on 12/15. Sorry for the delay in posting but my business trip to Norway last week threw off my schedule. It looks like you weren't counting on me anyway so my failure to post probably caused no harm.

I'll have to hit Hunter on another day later in the season. Have fun you all! I'm jealous. It looks like it will be a good group.

Bummer madskier. There will be other trips this season I'm sure.

Can you now get to Hunter from exit 20 or is the road work still not finished?

I used the directions from Hunter's site last Friday. They say to take exit 20. I think the road you are talking about is 23A. If so, it was open. I'm sure Jim G. or DMC can confirm.

23a is open..was up there at keiths "pro ski and ride" on tuesday

andyzee · Dec 14, 2006

Thanks for the info.

Greg · Dec 14, 2006

Yup. I believe the mountain road opened around Thanksgiving. I took it back to the Thruway last Friday.

Greg · Dec 14, 2006

Cool! Looks like they held on to Ike, Lower Crosserover, Upper East Side and Minya so we have two advanced top to bottom runs with a few variations + Belt:

With the inevitable spring conditions, I wonder if any bump lines will be setting up...

2knees · Dec 14, 2006

hmmm spring conditions. i'm torn. looks like a gametime decision.

bvibert · Dec 14, 2006

I was hoping it was going to be cold enough to blow snow tonight to freshen things up, but it doesn't look like it...

Should be a fun time tomorrow regardless!

Greg · Dec 14, 2006

I'm not concered about the surface. I'm more worried about them holding on to Minya/East Side/Crossover/Ike. Gonna be warm and sunny today. HBK and Belt have plenty of snow. Today must be nice up there...

23A is fully operational. Use exit 20.

They actually did a very nice job on that hairpin. That is such a cool road.

Last Friday was my first trip to Hunter and driving that stretch of road. I was also impressed by the scenery. Its one of those roads that is dangerous to drive on and take in the scenery, especially going the first time. It must be much better as a passenger.

Greg · Dec 14, 2006

All I know is that agitation is starting to set in! Can't wait for tomorrow. Hero snow, baby!

Grassi21 · Dec 14, 2006

Yeah, it hit me last night that we will be skiing this Friday! Great way to start the weekend.

Greg · Dec 14, 2006

I see bumps on Ike!!!

andyzee · Dec 14, 2006

Down boy!
