Damn Quad was a train wreck today. Died once early right after 10, and then I skied by it couple of hours later to see two chairs almost on top of one another near the top with people on them! One word can sum up a fix for the quad....DOPPLEMAYER!!!

Nah, a NEW poma quad would be fine too. There's a ton of them. Hunter just has an older "model", aka the first ones Poma ever made. Kind of like buying tech stuff the instant it comes out....if you wait to buy it till it's "matured", you get a much better product in the end.

Actually the Quad is one abomoination after another. The snowmaking has been great!

Thats what I tell the Hunter management types...

Everyone's talking about the damn quad and not the great snowmaking and the fact that almost the whole place is open..

Good point DMC. The snowmaking has been awesome. With K and Clairs coming online next. That only leaves 3 trails left.

Bummer, K poach is awesome, but I guess it should be open by Friday. At least i had Racers and Gun Hill on Saturday. Our redcoat friends won't dare do Racers.

Sorry - got the date wrong!!!!!!!! Will be back tomorrow (Friday) can't wait to see what happens and what the crowds are like.

& I can be backed up on the hunterskiscene blogspot.

I just found out about this - daily reports & weather by "Jon". Wish I had that kind of time, but you got to love him.

Had a good 2/3 day Sunday until it just got too hairy...sideways rain. Tne snowstorm before was cool though as it left a few inches to slide around on. Avoided the quad all day and din't really miss it. Since I'll be there mostly Mondays I won't care..as long as I can get to the top.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

NO mountain can outdo Hunter in the snowmaking department.

The fact they'll basically get the whole mountain open in about 2 weeks proves it.

I love my home hill.

Purna now receiving snow...open by week's end.

They blew on Clair's and Crossover all weekend.

Snowmaking frenzy. Skiing this past weekend was spectacular.
