I tried to start a thread about Hunter, but no takers, mostly. So I'm broadening my reach! I'm skiing Hunter, Windham, Belleayre, and Gore this year. Also little Thunder Ridge in Patterson, NY, where there is snow but only on the trails! I might get to Whiteface if things go well!
Tomorrow going to Windham for the first time. We may get a smattering of snow, but nothing substantial. Temp predicted at 25F, but with winds gusting up to 30+ mph! That means, wind chill down to -1F! Yikes! It's been a couple years since I've skied in that kind of cold. I have a super-thick waffley UnderArmor Cold Gear baselayer, that's too hot for me to wear most of the time, skiing or anywhere else. I tossed my old fleece running tights (dang!) but I can layer a few under my insulated (and roomy) ski pants. Heated boots, boot gloves, and heated gloves. But somehow I feel unprepared! I'm meeting the ski club for a clinic - first time out with them. I think it's the fact that it's a new mountain and I have to get there early to meet up with the group that has me frazzled. I do, after all, know how to dress for the cold! But if I also add a down layer, there will be no place to store it if it's too hot.
Hmmm.
