From the Hunter "grapevine"...
A new motor is on it's way - it should arrive later today - It should be retrofitted and installed by Saturday - if all goes well.. Doesn't bode well for our Friday excursion... But what are ya gonna do...

Employees are not psyched about another quadless weekend...

Yup. B to F lift. It would be nice to have D lift for Friday at least.

There's a chance of running D on Friday. I usually push pretty hard to run that lift, D is awesome and makes an easier trip to F. If we make snow and the weather works out, there's a chance of it opening.

I'll get more quad/motor info later today. I try to bother lift maintenance as little as possible. We're also probably going to start snowmaking again tonight.

Good news, both on the chance of running D and the snowmaking! Thanks for the update. :daffy:

Thanks Jessica! Yes, please run D lift on Friday if possible. Looks like at least 4" is a safe bet for Friday.

Good news (Maybe)

The motor is in and they're testing the quad tonight. Keep your fingers crossed that we have it for Friday.

Also, the storm track shifted a bit north putting Hunter in the 3-6"+ range by Friday morning.

But my ride is about 1 hr 15 each way.
