I've got a season pass at Hunter, kind of pissed off at this winter for obvious reasons. Been up there a few times, weren't TOO terrible, going again tomorrow, will try to pop back on and report some conditions.

I was at camelback as well today. The nile mile was actually pretty good early in the morning until more people start showing up. Some other trails werent in as good of a shape. Some trails I can even see patches of grass in the middle of the trail, nothing CB can do due to the 50 degree weather. But overall, it was pleasant.

Thanks for the report! How was the coverage? Any rocks, etc? Not looking to turn my new board into a rock board just yet...

Thanks and have fun at Mt. Creek tomorrow!

if you will ride in camelback on the main green trails, it will be packed, but if you will ride on blues and black less people, but you have slushy moguls. Its warm and feels like spring riding

Cool; thanks! I don't mind spring like conditions (though I would prefer seasonal conditions..) and I'll take your advice and stick with the blues and blacks.

please elaborate? thinking bout going up to camelbak myself some time this week (shortest drive other than camelback), need to save some $$ on lift tickets since i will be paying gas / tolls myself.

So hunter was pretty bad today. Nothing but ice in the shade and slush in the sunshine. Barely any people there though, which was something at least. They're definitely struggling to keep up with this weather.

Hunter was the same for me 2 weeks ago. Ice and rocks. Magnetraction was def put to the test and it passed. But if u fell, boy did it hurt.

camelback yesterday was the same, a lot of ground spots on the trails, if camel won't get any new snow made or fall, and temperatures won't go down they should be closed by the next weekend.
