Hunter Conditions

[jimmypete]

A February miracle Clairs was open, no Zephyr lift but you could ski Clairs and then go over to North Lift back up for a long way around to the Flyer, almost everything open except the naturals on the East Side and of course West Way and Annapura, which are sort of ghost trails, Lower K-27 closed but was being poached, skiable hard pack with some powder, oh yeah Twilight with tons of giant whales was still closed looks like they were leaving it for the weekend, but also looks like more rain than snow coming so who knows? Anyway Feb 1 was almost perfect day for Cats skiing, cold not brutal , blue bird and not too crowded

Claires Open again today, soft wet, don't have much hope for the weekend when it stiffens up , description is the better part of valor for doing Claires.

someone ask Hunter why Twighlight is still closed???? Big whales all over the run, everything covered in snow.

someone ask Hunter why Twighlight is still closed????

No way bro. Colorado is a long distance call. I’m not made of money you know

Twilight is now open, wow first time all year. Claires is closed, come on Vail, learn Hunta, you gotta make snow when the sun don't shine,

Claires open and groomed , was getting too gnarly to leave it ungroomed, Zephyr still closed, Vail should learn you are better off telling the truth than remaining silent, rumors abound, if it's a help problem fine let us know, if a safety issue or parts issue, even better, and pay your damn employees, Ikon is going to kick your butt next season if you don't smarten up

Claire was great, but its such a pain to get there without the Zephyr, especially with the crowd at the Flyer. Can't really lap it, maybe feasable as a passageway to get to the North. Twilight has these rollers on the left that forces skiers to head even more rightward of its double fall line, toward the trees. At least its open.

Zephyr has finally been consistently open and there has been some decent snow blowing too. Has Vail got the message??

Some wind blown powder turns today. They actually made a bunch of snow too

They told me Saturday that they were going to fire up the guns again, too bad may rain on Thursday, hope they get enough to do a pond skim
