Can anyone give me some decent trails close to Hunter Mountain??

My group is already planning next years excursion out West. Most are good skiers or boarders, but a few are getting up there and more comfortable with groomers. The younger guys are pushing for Jackson Hole, the groomer lovers are not adverse to some powder or bumps but prefer not to be in them...

Global Warming ? Not political, but is this year's lousy snow and warm an anomaly or trend, what do you think.

By now everyone knows it's a super crappy year, temps up and down, rain snow drought. But I keep seeing relatively cold nights, and yet no effort in many days to make snow. Is this simply a business decision or is it because the conditions aren't right? Hunter is my home mountain but I notice...

Some friends are trying to get me into a season rental at Hunter. I ski Hunter often during the week but have studiously stayed away from weekends after numerous bad experiences some 15 years ago. They are telling me things have changed and the new Lifts will make the experience even better. I'd...

Anyone know how the SnowFlex system is working out at Liberty University or in EuropeHas anyone skied SnowFlex? Is it realistic for a place like Mountain Creek or the Poconos with a great population base nearby. I see much interest in Xanadu but that is so small I can't believe it will attract...

back from three days at Stratton Monday-Thurs. Conditions ok not too bad, Everything groomed, Hard pack, by late afternoon slick and icy spots. Night time temps below zero. No guns going any nights , just groomers running. Now I understand that snowmaking is expensive, but during a holiday week...

I have a topic that may be dangerous to raise. Should New York State be in the Ski Business. Where do I come in . I don't know. I really like Belleayre, Gore and Whiteface. Have skied and enjoyed all three and must say my recent trip to Gore was great. Also pretty much a Liberal politically, so...

Good good morning, Man made on Clair's and Racer's Edge, Crowded for a week day. I think Google had a company trip. Many buses . By 1pm the West side was ICY and there were falling bodies everywhere. Rest of mountain iced up soon after. They better start blowing snow in earnest or the weekend...

Heard they got hit with R on Sunday, Now Windham is saying got some Fresh this week, PKill too, Hunter doesn't report any new snow nor does Belleayre. Generally we prefer Hunter anybody been to the Catskills this week what's the Story, planning a quick day trip Friday . Thanks.:daffy:

Since all Catskill areas are having such a good year, I've tried to talk my friends into going to Plattekill on a Saturday or Sunday. They are pretty much intermediate skiers . Tried it about 4 years ago and it wasn't pretty for them and just ok for me, But I've heard their snow making and...

I'm 64 year's old and came to Skiing relatively late, Sorry guys but I like groomed trails and love to Ski. Friends of mine love bumps and I will venture on occasion, but why oh why not let both the bumpers and the cruisers know what is groomed and what is bumped up. Just put it up on a black...

Thinking about going up, Looking for some decent skiing closer to North Jersey than Vt. I like Gore but even that can be a schlep. Too old for bumps and woods, and my grandkids are too young. How's Jiminy. weekends, weekdays?

Decent conditions, HARD pack but with edges decent skiing. No wind nice temps, many college kids taking advantage of discounts. The new 6man lift is fast and comfy. Hunter is definitely the place for a mid-week hookey day. I hope they can the channel they were playing in the lodge Sirius Pulse...

looking for suggestions as to Pocono skiing. I do some Western and Vt. skiing and can play hooky some days during the week. live in North Jersey close to 80. I like Hunter during the week, Belleayre on weekend for a day trip but sometimes the two hour drive gets alittle tough. Don't like...
