Hunter to start snowmaking tomorrow!

[andrec10]

Are they turning over a new leaf!? Maybe next weekend won't be a WROD!

Makes sense to take advantage of this weather. Cold enough to make snow even at the base for almost the whole of the next week, never gets above 36F.

Could be a great start.

New improvements to the snowmaking infrastructure. A few new snow guns. Night skiing.

Maybe; just maybe I'll use the discount that comes with my friends Big Lift Card one day. I doubt it though.

Great to hear I had a lot of fun here this past spring and looking forward to more days here this winter.

Hunter 1...nah, Ill pass, but maybe it will move to other parts of the mtn!

Guns are going on the upper mt.Help me out here.I can't find a snow report anywhere on their site.

Wow, the CAMS show the guns going up on Hellgate. Surprised they were able to get going last night. Given the weather over the next 10 days I'll bet they have a lot open by 22nd - including a run down to west side.

What? Seriously? It would be great for school groups or maybe have a night racing program, but I am shocked about this.

Won't be one until near opening. Look at Facebook for pictures.

Here's one: https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net...0_10152848117420903_7468312192031434937_o.jpg

Adding night skiing a good move for Hunter.

I know I would ski and stay more if I could ski until 6pm on Sat.

Opening date set for Friday the 21st.

Maybe if it was the main mountain. If it's just Hunter One, I can't see that being much of a draw at all. That said, I've heard nothing about this at all, was there an announcement?

Hey, it's a start. If they stick with it and expand I would assume they will at least run D-lift and we might ski from mid-station down in the future if it pays off.

I believe it if 180 says it's going to happen.

The lights were a purchase for Mountain Jam Camping area(Hunter One)...
They just happen to be lights that can be used for night skiing... Nice..

I doubt they will expand this..

There doesn't seem to be any Guns running this morning. Accuweather indicates temps still in the mid 20's.
