And the big lungers people were spitting up off the chairs onto him. Now I need to clean the coffee off my monitor again. | |

Hah. This actually makes me want to go to Hunter. So is Hunter like class of the stereotypes or what? I just want to go and sit on the edge of Belt Parkway on an icy saturday during Christmas vacation. So DMC you must break out the Jets Starter Jacket, the 220cm GS skis, and some sweet rear-entry boots atleast once a year, right?

I met my boss and his 2 sons at Hunter one weekend. Solid intermediates at best. We stayed over on B lift for most of the day, but they begged to go to the top. I warned them! We got about halfway down Belt and stopped on the edge of the trail. I had my back to the traffic and my boss and his sons were tucked up against the edge. I was trying to protect them. They simply didn't understand. A person (sliding tool of choice unidentified to protect the innocent) somehow managed to barge between me and my group. They were travelling at least Mach 2. After they had cleared our area, I saw my boss and his oldest son. But all that was left of his younger son were his skis! This idiot had hit my bosses son so hard he took him right out of his bindings! The skis were still there, sitting parallel in the snow. My bosses son was crying and his attacker was moaning in pain and holding their shoulder. I brought the poor boy his skis and talked him down off of his fear. He was OK and there was no permanent damage. He was skiing and laughing again soon after. I left the criminal in a heap. That crap disgusts me. | |

So maybe they do judge a mountain by one trail stuffed with beginners and cranky intermediates...

In hindsight, I should have been more insistent and stayed on B lift. You know, the B lift/D lift served part of the mountain has some of the BEST beginner and intermediate terrain anywhere. PSIA did a teaching/learning study at Hunter for that very reason. But those facts don't ever make it into any ratings articles because most people just want to go to the top of the mountain. BTW, I've seen collisions just like this one at just about every mountain I've visited. | |
