Hunter Snowmaking Success!!!

[millerm277]

Highlands/E lift is open.

Using the "normal" trail count for Hunter, they've only got three trails left to open to be 100% for a usual season....White Cloud, Upper Crossover, and either 44 or Annapurna.

Can't wait for Mon/tues...should have the place all to myself!!!

Bell is falling behind big time.

Bell is falling behind big time.

Bell does not have anywhere near the fire power that Hunter has and never did. Nothing new here. Hunter is the Hair and Bell it the Turtle. Bell will get there, it just takes them awhile longer.

I know...not ragging on bell...learned to ski there...they do what they can and I appreciate it. But damn...Hunter is really pulling all the stops out...

Late Saturday evening snowmaking report from Bruce...

If you missed skiing today, it's to bad... let's not miss days like this again! Skiing was awesome, with new trails opening all day... Today we opened Clair's, White Cloud, Upper Xover and Colonel's Alternate.

The future for snowmaking, looking into that crystal snowball, will bring either Annapurna or 44 maybe Sunday or Monday... so look out! Along with those we will be hitting more in the beginners' area, up E-Lift.

So for your Christmas present, I expect to have at least 90-99% of the mountain opened, not only opened but with GREAT SNOW an Conditions.

Well, to be fair, there were some ugly ice sheets in the middle of Lower K.

But that left side was nice carvable snow and was just a ton of fun to ski.
