Which Trails Are Open the Least?

[skiking4]

Is anyone at Hunter to give a report of the natural trails? (Purna, woods, unmarked stuff) How was the base before the storm? Considering on heading to the western Catskills (Bell or Platty) instead of Hunter because I think there might be more snow.

I can't cmment on the other areas... 180 says Platty had 10" an hour or so ago..
Hunter is over the boot deep and still snowing... Hard...

I can tell you after riding a couple hours this morning..
Purna is OPEN and all natural! Didn't hit anything... Only one waterbar to manage..
Rode Taylors all natural too... Didn't hit anything..
Rode the "glades" all really great!

the base before the storm was getting good.. Been snowing every day although not much but still enough to be good for the base..

That was on both facebook pages this morning, just go to your favorite hill tomorrow and Sunday sunny temperatures in the 40s so snow should be awesome were ever you go.

How about Icicles?

I remeber Icicles... There was some old railroad tie chunks dumped on it to fill it in(I know this sounds strange...)
IIRC (and this was many years ago) it was never roped off. I guess they figured no one would really try it...

Lol, that's interesting.... I rememeber the top being that very narrow and almost completely flat section about a ski's width wide leading down to the first ledge. I guess it is really on the map now I just looked. I know for the whole time I was there it wasn't.
