    Any body know anything about Hunter???

    I miss eating stuffed baked potatoes on the deck in the sun. Skied Hunter since 1975. Got engaged on the mountain. Orville and his wife tooks us out to dinner after getting engaged. Haven't been back in the past two years due to Epic. Hope they sell it off at some point so I can return.

    Does "Park" skiing bother you?

    I wish park skiing existed back in the 70's when I was a teen. We just skied the mountain looking for little jumps to try and do a Daffy, Backscratcher or the occasional failed Helicopter. Eventually we'd get yelled at by ski patrol to stop before someone got hurt.

    Any body know anything about Hunter???

    Coming from the South Google says Hunter is 3 minutes faster. Seems about right when I drive. Leaving central NJ at 6:30 am gets me to either at 9 if I don't stop. And if there's powder, the extra 20 to continue to Platty blows everything away.

    Any body know anything about Hunter???

    I just clicked on both Hunter's and Windham's webcams. I don't understand how Windham has no lines.

    Winter storm Landon has shifted favorably incoming to VT and NY with Major foot plus snow totals and a small mixed in little sleet/Ice line possible.

    The crowds were heading north last night. I was heading back to NJ after skiing Gore. Amazing day. I couldn't believe how much traffic was heading up on NYS Thruway.

    Room booked and tickets loaded for the next two days. Let's hope this storm delivers.

    Any body know anything about Hunter???

    This pretty much sums up how much Vail cares about Hunter. No care for the skiers. I guess a powder day has no effect on share price, so it's not on their radar.

    And Hunter reports nothing since Vail can't be bothered to update their Snow Report.

    FIFY. That bathroom has been the same for as long as I've skied there.

    Well they didn't get my Fox Remote radar detector since that was well hidden.

    Any body know anything about Hunter???

    I used to skate there and at Laces in Herricks. My most memorable night at Hotskates was when someone broke into my Datsun B210 and stole my Audiovox equalizer after I had carefully installed it where the ashtray used to be.

    VAIL SUCKS

    How do they not offer refunds to local Epic pass holders of this place?

    VAIL SUCKS

    Just wanted to give a shout out to Vail for paying for my day on the slopes of Belleayre yesterday. As an Ex Epic pass holder I filled out a questionnaire last year and must have been entered into a contest to win a $200 Amex gift card. Since I can spend this anywhere it will all go to...

    I guess we'll see what happens this week. With lower temps and Xmas week coming, it's now or never.

    Any body know anything about Hunter???

    Epic probably can't afford to blow more.:rolleyes: The Slutsky's would have had the mountain blasting like a blizzard.

    VAIL SUCKS

    I honestly think if the lodges and bar were open the lift lines would have been fine. All the people had nothing to do but ski. Normally I think half these people ski for an hour then hang out.

    VAIL SUCKS

    I only ski Hunter on Wednesdays. For the past 2o years I never had a lift line more than a few minutes. This year was like flash backs to the 70's with 15-20 minute waits to get on the 6 pack. I thought the $479 pass would make that tolerable, but I just couldn't do it. Only used it 3 days.

    But they get to make it up on volume. And people like myself will probably never ski Stowe again. It's too bad.
