I was standing right behind you on the lift...couldn't miss those pants.

Why didn't you say hello? Powder is your thing. Maybe you could have showed us how to ski it! :lol:

 

[2knees]

The rule of the day was slow and steady and keep the damn tips up...just picked up my powder boards and its back to plattekille and hunter sun and mon.....

Another one of those had to be there things. I'll just say that we did have to piss a few times while stopped on the highway (I, for one, had spent the previous day keeping hydrated in preparation for a full day of skiing hard) . There might have been a bit of a piss hole competition at some point..

 

[bvibert]

Here it is... You had to be there for 4 hrs to really appreciate this. Might still be processing...

Great video grassi, I laughed almost as much watching it this time as I did when you played back the audio just after shooting it. :lol:

Totally a "had to be there" moment but I laughed at that vid. :lol: It was only moments later that we saw the man boob trucker. :lol: Thanks for keeping me laughing and not insane during that highway closure guys.

At least we were able to keep each other entertained, even if it was as the expense of the rest of the people on the highway. It really made the time pass that much quicker.

As much as we laugh at the ice scraper brigade; it did get the guy ahead of us to get moving. That got us to the next blockage as soon as they were clearing the way themselves, so the timing was perfect. It was such a good feeling to get moving and off that damn highway at that point!

 

[bvibert]

It needs another hour or so:

Nice job on the video. I'm glad you caught the few turns where I looked like I had half a clue as to what I was doing, instead of the gaper I felt like the rest of the time. I wish I had thought to add some commentary while I was videoing...

I had a great time yesterday, and it was nice to get to those west side trails finally.

What trail is 44 on Hunter?

Is that Westway? Why do you guys call it 44?

 

[bvibert]

Is that Westway? Why do you guys call it 44?

Yes, 44 and Westway are the same. I don't know remember exactly why it's called both names, but somewhere around the top of the west side there's a sign for it that says Trail "44", so I assume it was the 44th trail?? Maybe one of the Hunter regulars will chime in with the real answer.

Welcome to the forums.

 

[catskillman]

Westway was Hunter's 44th trail. You are correct.

 

[skiadikt]

isn't claire's 35?

Welcome to the forums.

Back in the day - Hunter's trails had numbers associated with them..
Westway 44
Clairs 35

Rt80 is Whitecloud to Wayout - because the numbers add up to 80...

What a weekend!

My whole body aches.

Skied the entire F liftline...something I thought I would never do.

Every woods area was skiable. I've never spent so much time in the woods at Hunter. At least part of every run was in the woods. Incredible.

The snow seemed to dry out as the weekend went on and got fluffier. I guess the water just kind of percolated out to the bottom of the 70 or so inches.

I've never experienced this kind of skiing in the east, let alone at Hunter. Nothing but powder and trees and steeps.

WOW!

 

[kingslug]

I'm totaly shot....Platt and Hunter just kicked my ass....non stop moguls.too tired to load the pics.

 

[Greg]

It's official. Going back for more West side moguls tomorrow. 'Purna and 44 have to mogul heaven by now...
