Hunter's 44? Place your bets!

[MarkC]

I guarentee that I will ski 44 before the season is over.

Forget about the season, how about the week. You are going to need a shotgun to keep me off of it with this much snow.

Much of the main mountain is open and all of the West side is also open except West Way (44).

It was awesome today...

Acutally had a few people on towards the end of the day...

But it was just sublime... Untracked... Ribboned it...

Can't wait for to ride today.. But - the plow guy HAS to come or I'm walking..

 

[YardSaleDad]

Okay, I'm done dancing.

 

[YardSaleDad]

And it's still closed.

 

[dmc]

We'll see how today turns out... It may be just reserved...

I'm not saying anything in particular is going to happen, but you might want to check back around 10 or so. We have no idea what will open on the West Side yet, it's way too early and Patrol isn't finished with their report. So...don't get your hopes up, but don't surrender the oh-so-famous AZer enthusiasm!

We reporter 21-24" so far...it is SO AWESOME.

 

[dmc]

It was epic... Absolutly epic..

 

[YardSaleDad]

How much snow do you folks need to open that trail?

Nice! Where are the best bumps setting up?

The whole mountain is bumped right now.... Fluffy power bumps...

Was there today... I'll second that - I have never seen a mountain so replete with bumps.
44 was awesome, I loved that trail especially the top.

going tomorrow. i should be in bed but i'm so pumped for a full menu of bump runs.

Plus, I've never "really" skied the west side. Looking forward to the experience.

 

[dmc]

44 is not skable from the top...
The snow got scoured from the winds...
i'd say it's skiable from half way..

 

[cbcbd]

44 was wind scoured at the top but I just picked my way down and could avoid most rocks by skiing some pretty big drifts.

44 and Taylor's were two of the better trails this weekend. 44 was a little thin on top, but quite skiable. Taylor's was just superb.

I don't know if 44 ever officially opened, but it was open as far as I could tell.
