i dont know how you guys work that shift. my wife does the same thing. 7p-7a 3x a week. I give you lots of credit for doing that.

Its not bad...just need to catch up on sleep when you can..lots of naps. Been doing it 20 yrs next month..its getting harder though. When my kids get older i may move back to the day shift. I like the solitude at night though. The day shift in a hospital is crazy, especially working in pediatrics..kids are EVERYWHERE!!

TWO weeks, baby! If these forecasts hold, I see several days in there with round-the-clock snowmaking opportunities:

I can easily see most of the front being covered, as well as Wayout and possibly Claire's by the 14th. If we're really really lucky, maybe 'Purna? That would rule.

You're definitely one of the more optimistic guys I know.

Always.

Okay, 'Purna may be a bit beyond the scope of reality, but those forecasts are pretty effin cold. Claire's wouldn't surprise. Even without the West Side, I think Ike, Upper Crossover, and K27 are safe bets.

Dude, I like it. Greg gets me pumped.

I didn't say I didn't like it.

Gets me pumped too, the only problem is sometimes that leads to disappointment in the early season...

Bah!

We're going to be waaaay ahead of where we were for last year's Hunter gathering.

I agree, but if you get me thinking that the west side will be open and then it's not.... That's where some disappointment comes in...

Still really psyched, time of is scheduled and I'm ready to go!!!

Well, I'm not a big Claire's fan unless it's bumped and the snowmaking is fresh. If/when that trail gets groomed the potential for the slide of death increases exponentially. I would love to see them concentrate on 'Purna first. Being much narrower and more wind-protected, I would think it would be easier to cover.

bvibert · Nov 30, 2007

I've never been on Claire's. Both times I was there and it was open it looked pretty death slide prone so I stayed off. Still dying to hit 'Pruna too... :spin:

Took the day off so I'm in.

Just gotta sharpen those edges. When they can cut paper, you're good to go!

Generally I tune my skis once in the beginning of the season and then maybe one more time later on. I'm not really big on the tuning frequently thing...

At Hunter having skis in good tune is a must. At Mt.Tremblant we had a local shop sharpen our edges until they could cut you, needed it due to the slickest ice we had ever seen. There is nothing like a hands on tune compared to a machine tune.

That could probably be said for most NE ski areas. I've never had any problems at Hunter with my generally un-tuned skis, other than my perceived issues with Claire's..

I remember during the first AZ day at Hunter, waiting at the bottom of Claire's, and watching a human hockey puck zipping down the slope and then off into the tree line.

Clair was in a bitchy mood, as she often is. It's a self clearing run.
