A well earned honor. I'm glad, but sorry Izzy died before it was awarded. They've done alot for skiing.

I'll be at Hunter on Saturday for closing day. They've decided to open up for Saturday as a show of appreciation to their customers. I know there will probably be better snow north, and Hunter may not get any, but I'll be at Hunter on Saturday.

It's my home.

There's a chance I will be at Hunter as well, if I can't get to K this weekend.

You didn't hear it from me, but if the weather is ok enough, we may be open Sunday as well. We've decided to open for Friday and Saturday so far. Trails look good, we're pushing some snow around...it shouldn't be too bad!

Pic looks promising, looks like you've got nice cover on all the trails that I can see, and it appears you've got a Winter Storm Warning in effect...pow of any kind sure would be nice there.

Honestly, I'm not sure how correct that forecast is. Or any forecast. They said snow last night, we've honestly received sleet and rain with a thin cover of snow that has turned to useless slush. I'm not sure what's going to happen today but most of us are thinking that we won't get nearly as much as they say we will, nor will it be dry or powdery. So we'll see what happens.

Thanks Jessica...Hunter has done a good job this season.

So have you, in a tough, demanding and usually unappreciated job.

Kudos!

Hunter really pulled through when a lot of other resorts couldn't keep up. I'll be up for TAP on the 29th. One of the best beer fests around. The next morning is brutal though.
