DMC ...looks like Hunter pulled out the heavy artillery this morning and Jess sent me a note saying it's going to be wide open until either the mountain is 100% open, or the temps rise above freezing.

With what you know about Hunter's capabilities... what terrain should be open on Saturday and what should be open on Sunday?

I've got some doubters down here that I am trying to convince to make the trip on Sunday, and I need your help!

I believe Hunter will open full on/top to bottom - Hellgate>Broadway>Kennedy on Sunday with a remote possibility of a late opening on Saturday for whoever's around.. but thats doubtful

It's going to be crazy... :)

I'd say you'll probably only really see HBK for this weekend, edge to edge though, and they'll probably be starting on Belt before the end of Sunday. My guess would be Belt on Tuesday, with a bunch of trails (Ike, Minya, Hunter One) starting snowmaking somewhere around then.

You'll probably see 70% of the main mountain + Way Out by the 10th.
