Next 10 days do not look too promising. A few good nights with marginal days.

So the question is... Will it be worth it for me to make the 2hr and change trek come Friday? Burning a vacation day I can't carry forward so day is cleared
Just keep checking if they fire up the guns..they can cover that area in a night...

Thier post on Facebook says that they are going for Madison Ave as well. Temps look good for tonight and it is possible with a boat load of snowmax in the mix to stay on through tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night (maybe).

I was at Hunter today and had a good day. But if you pulled those pics off of their Facebook page they should be ashamed of themselves. Those are not even remotely accurately pics. The ONLY snow that was on the Mtn was on the HBK line. There was just enough snow at the base to make it back to the lift. The picture of the full mtn has snow on nearly every trail. There was none on any of those trails.

I am sure they will make quite a bit of snow but decieving there customers on what the current conditions are is wrong.

Thought they looked like old pics. Not real fond of this new communications manager. The TRUTH shall set you free! :)
