Still a seeded line at mid-station.

Bumps were being skied in on Eisenhower too...steep and very tight.

Plenty of bumps as of the end of last week.

Hope the rain today didn't kill too much.

It got ugly today... Lots of flooding.. Upper mountain closed.. Water streaming over bare spots...

Sounds like some serious snowmaking needed starting Tuesday night!

DMC, Our ski club ( 20 members ) is scheduled to make its annual trip to Hunter next Tuesday. Our coordinater is having issues with Hunter management regarding lodge/food/tickets accomodations. Now we read your comments concerning conditions. I would appreciate your comments about recovery efforts with snowmaking, and whether conditions at other mountains, ( Windham, Greek, Bellayre ) are in the same shape as Hunter.

From what I'm hearing - grooming will smooth things out as far as bare spots... Probably need the snow to dry out a bit first.. And snowmaking is going into full gear... I'd say next Tuesday should be good... In fact it's snowing and sticking now.. !!!
I'm going to head out later today - and I'll let you know..

Sorry your having issues with Hunter management...

Expect a full out assault of the mountain with a recovery like no other mountian can. I Expect great conditions this weekend with plenty of powder bumps where snowmaking is going on. There is a USSA B mogul event on IKE Saturday and Sunday so it's mostly closed.

I'm not DMC, but in my limited experience Hunter can recover more quickly from an event like this than any resort I've ever skied, even in my imagination. I was there 48 hours after a major ice storm and virtually every run had been completely resurfaced. They can absolutely crank the snowmaking if the weather permits, which it looks like it will.

Good luck to both of your boys. Take some video.

I'd be there with my daughter, except for the fact that the K A meet is also this weekend.

How's Ice doing? Hunter A's are kicking it this year.

...but is it the most powerful system?

Thanks for all of the Hunter responses. If we weren't getting grief from mgmt., the condition question probably would not have arisen. Hunter's reputation as " the snowmaking capitol of the East" is well earned. I hope they take the opportunity to impress everyone with their capability, and look forward to hearing about it.

If you can't find a place for 20 let me know - I did some checking and may have something but it won't be on the mountain.

Singles, he's slowly working his scores up, kinda low to start. Trying to eliminate little errors that add up..

He dueled Nick Rodriguez and won last weekend at Bristol. Then in the 2nd round he got Thomas Rowley, no chance there. He crashed.

This past weekend at Waterville, 1st round win against another 1st time A, then 2nd round loss to an experienced A. Videos here:

I have no doubts they will.

But the bumps will have to be skied in again, at least on terrain that has to be groomed.

the groomers covered what was needed after the deluge and the guns came on this afternoon ... I'm expecting good things in the morning
