Hunter Conditions

[professor]

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.

Hunter was pretty good yesterday. Sun kept the snow soft except on Way Out, which is now a permanent icy ruin. Even Hunter North is now getting sun mid-Feb and those fun little runs are staying pretty good and not over-skied. Plus Sayville Steve and I now park at Hunter North which is good for drinking beer.

Does the North lot fill up? Never been there. How far is the walk vs. the regular lot? Thinking about checking it out Wednesday.

Way Out should probably get a black. Folks who have been skiing Belt Parkway, White Cloud, Sleepy Hollow, Broadway, Kennedy would be a hazard to themselves and others if they turned on Way Out thinking it.was in the same ballpark. It is at least as challenging as Huega.

It was a lot worse before they widened it a few years ago

North lot is great. Unless you need food/drink/indoor bathroom.

Unfortunate that per signs they won't even let you ski back down there after 330 - is that accurate or just no lifts up after that?

We didn’t wait around to find out. We were down there by around 3:10 or so. I can’t imagine they would stop people from getting to their cars!

This morning was nice. A little bit of untracked here and there. Definitely firm underneath. Dipped into the woods and was surprised how deep it still is. There is a semi crust about 5” down. I found it fun though.
