Rainy and 40 degrees here at the base of Hunter.

Hopefully they will be able to recover this week. Got to cover all the ice that will develop.

Supposed to be pretty damn cold for the next week at least. Hopefully it will stay this way..

Updated original post. Windham was the only mountain to close some trails today (on their site anyway). Plattekill remains closed .

Plattekill could have opened for Monday but decided not to given the weather. Look for skiing on the triple side and mountain biking on the double side for next weekend.

Hunter was fantastic yesterday despite the rain. The highlights were the Bumps on Ike and Wayout. With the hard freeze coming, they are probably going to have to mow much of them down. There were some thin areas here and there; nothing some resurfacing can't take of. Deep base there - the snow on Hellgate is probably 4+ feet in spots. Looks like round the clock snowmaking for the foreseeable future. They'll whip that mountain back into shape in no time.

Updated. Plattekill is still closed. Hunter and Windham both closed a few trails while Belleayre opened the Superchief lift and two trails.

Anyone have an update on the bumps at Hunter? Iced-up with the cold temperatures since the rain? or still worth a 2 hr. drive on a day off?

It's all good- next week is winter festival week with 10 dollar lift tickets at belleayre.
Cold temps +snow showers+ ski free on b-day+ 10 dollar tickets = great day next week.

Well..based on this pic...

I don't think you're going to see too much ice...

Windham:
From their site: "We made 10"-12" inches last night and still going strong." YAY!

 

[adamti91]

Belleayre has been blowing snow on Yahoo! Should be opening soon...

 

[adamti91]

Windham and Hunter opened a few more trails after a full day of snowblowing. Plattekill is blowing on 6+ trails for a scheduled opening this Friday I believe.

looks like the cold will hang around now!!!:grin: heading to hunter next thursday.

Yeah, I'm going to try to get up to at least Belleayre this weekend, I haven't been up since the 9th of January o), and only about 9 times in total this year. I have a free pass to Windham from Potter Brothers, but I think I'll wait until their terrain is better so that it doesn't go to waste.
