Wow last 2 days at Hunter really good. Lots of snowmaking Cliff bumps were awesome all day today. Thinking Lower Crossover may be the bump run tomorrow. Peaks gets kudos for the great snowmaking effort since Thursday amazing amounts of snow pumped out.

Getting to 40 days after Monday then planning Quebec trips to get past 50. Canada will bail out the end of my winter season for the second year in a row. Then on to Spring!

Today was day 25 all at Killington. This weekend was far better than I thought it would be!

No Big Sky trip report, Jcb? I would have liked to have seen some pics and heard some more about it. That is one of the mtns on the Maxx pass that I am really interested in.

I'm sorry, I suck! I didn't do a trip report for Big Sky or Copper - slacking big time. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Let me see... maybe I'll have some time tonight or this week to type up trip reports for both mountains.
