The temptation to ski Hunter in 81F/27C sunshine in early April, still with plenty snow on the mountain, and to wear shorts and t-shirt in the process, was too good to turn down. A warm welcome home.

Hunter Mountain, April 7, 2010, 11:51am. Cheers to new ski pal Jamie for
the pic.

The run up top of this picture – Clair’s Way – was, officially, closed. We did it anyway. Apart from the one part we had to take skis off to navigate, It was actually in better condition than it is through most of the winter, when it’s typically an ice field.
