Those automatic guns on Way Out and Clair's could be a game changer, if it means they blow enough snow to open the West side early in the season and keep it open consistently. Actually crossing my fingers.
Hellgate, Broadway, Kennedy...a pretty common first route they try to cover and open...
Also the perfect, non-stop, midweek, top to bottom super g route of choice.
That now has a lift tower you have to go around to get to Kennedy. I just looked at the webcam and realized this! Also there is now a fence by the unload area of the new B lift. And there is no padding around the lift towers yet, so they won't be opening to quickly. Besides it is 50 degrees today, and the next 5 days and then rain. Seems like a wasteAlso the perfect, non-stop, midweek, top to bottom super g route of choice.
I always look at these early season marginal temp snowmaking efforts in the following way, even if it all melts out before some decent cold gets here and allows a full push to opening, the snowmaking crews, of which I am guessing there are likley a few newbies on them, got some real time training working in the dark on the hill with each other, and that is always a good thing when it comes to the safety of the crewsThat now has a lift tower you have to go around to get to Kennedy.

Since Broadway no longer exists on the trail map you may need to come up with a new acronym instead of HBK
But I suspect locals will still continue to call that route HBK...
So why are you here then?Personally I don't need to do anything as I haven't even skied Hunter in years.
How can you accurately comment on something you know absolutely nothing about is all I'm saying!
North always closes at 3:30. I don't understand why they do things that way if they ever want to get people to park over there on the regular, but it's always like that. If it's spinning, they'll have to have a trail leading to the bottom - probably Overlook?
Right but they specifically list its opening day hours which sounds like they expect to open tomorrow. I expect Way Out as they planned to install automated snowmaking on that trail last summer
Is that when they close the lift or when they rope off the trail? I like to park down there, but don't want to deal with rope ducking if I'm running late. Thanks!
