Hunter in the Catskills Ground hog day Feb. 2 2014

[JimG.]

A lot of folks who couldn't ski on Sat showed up for the West Side skiing yesterday. There were a lot of bodies on 44.

Lower K, Racers, Clairs all excellent. Upper Xover was winched! Perhaps the third or fourth groom in the past 25 years.

Too much grooming IMO.

It was cool watching the clouds move across the mountain, skied through a few so thick I could barely see 4 ft in front of me.

I had the same situation at K when it snowed all day. I couldn't ski down Superstar because I literally couldn't see it! The clouds were amazing though when you got high up.

My favorite route of the day was Colonel's Alternate and to Way Out.

When I was at Hunter those two were pretty skied out by the time I got there so I stuck to Hellgate where conditions were perfect.

Ha, I see you're good at taking pictures of your fingers too Scotty. I took a real nice pic of my Son fishing on a dock when he was about 5, the rubber band from the disposable camera was hanging right in front of the lens. I should see if I can Photoshop it out.

I was shocked to see Upper Xover groomed. 44 was a neighborhood yard sale. I didn't ski it, but some of the crashes I saw were cringe-worthy, hope no one was seriously injured.
