So you're Scottski63, thats me the professor, nice photos, Annapurna was amazing!

Thought Friday was excellent. Racers opened without grooming which made it pretty challenging and fun. I'll be very impressed if they get Clairs open by Sunday. Pretty sure all of Hunter east has snow making.

If your judging Hunter's snow making this year based on that base web cam I can see why you might think Vail has been slacking. If you have actually skied there you would know they have several trails open from the top with good coverage. Temps have been pretty marginal for snow making in the...

Skied Hunter first 7 days they were open (only skied mornings over Thanksgiving).Skied last two days also....seems less crowded than early season last year. Being able to run lifts at full capacity helps ... taking that into account still seems less busy.

Who's making snow?

West and North sides stayed pretty firm all day Wednesday . Anything in more direct sun softened up nice . Upper and lower K-27 were excellent. Cloudy ,25degrees, with snow flurries at the moment. Probably won't soften up again until next Monday

Shush .... it's terrible at Hunter. Too busy and conditions suck. Everyone should go to Gore. You have to drink and put your boots on in the parking lot like a bunce of heathens at Hunter.
