Any body know anything about Hunter???

They did start to make snow last night. HBK, Belt and Wayout....long way to go, but cold temps for the next several days...but rain, finally, in the forecast for next week.

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.

HBK?

HBK?

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 waste

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 crews

The top looks like they had good production I bet that won't all melt out. I also agree with DrJeff. Practice makes perfect!

Since Broadway no longer exists on the trail map you may need to come up with a new acronym instead of HBK

Personally I don't need to do anything as I haven't even skied Hunter in years. But I suspect locals will still continue to call that route HBK...

So why are you here then?

I had no idea you were only allowed to comment on a post if you regularly ski at said area. That's going to eliminate an awful lot of posts from people on this forum...

at least 3 dumpsters & 2 work vans with huge ladders sitting by the lodge . . . roof finally getting repaired or replaced?

 

[catskillman]

hopefully both....tried to get inside a few days ago - curious if the "indoor gutters" that ran through the kitchen were still there, or at least emptied.........
