Thinking about heading to Hunter tomorrow (Sunday 3/15/09) - Conditions?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

I have a giftcard I got for xmas from my wife. I am not sure but I think it needs to be used this season. Since I have a free day tomorrow (sunday) I was thinking of hitting hunter.

The conditions are:

SURFACE CONDITIONS
PRIMARY SURFACE: Frozen Granular, Loose Granular
SECONDARY SURFACE: Hard Packed


Is that safe to assume this means icy/slushy with the very warm NY weather? I am about 1.5 hours from hunter & its been very warm & snow free for a while.

Thanks,
Rich

Kingslug was there last weekend with similar temps:

I'm guessing it will be pretty similar, with a little less snow/coverage. I'm thinking of going as well. Should be slushy spring goodness (at least once it warms up)...

Icy in the morning...gets better as the day goes on...follow the sun and wait for mid afternoon to hit the westside.

Hunter was awesome today -- sweet spring bumps on upper Xover and lower K27, rest of mtn softened up nicely by 11ish, but not slushy soft like last weekend, still firm beneath -- 5 minute liftlines, tops, too!
