    Hunter reality show Winter Break to air in Feb on MTV

    My Daughter went to High School with Snookie from the original. She was from Marlboro, NY. We get to Blame Jersey for her, if they don't look to deep. They didn't get along, we used to love watching the Bar scene where she gets in some guys face and he clocks her. The guy that hit her was a...

    Ticket Sale Limit - how many is too many for a Hunter Mtn Size mountain ???????

    It was a small kidney shaped one. I started to ski there in the early 80's, after I got out of the service. By then it was boarded over and the space was the original Nursery before the West Wing was built. It would now be behind the Coffee Stand outside the Board Room. I've seen pictures of it...

    Ticket Sale Limit - how many is too many for a Hunter Mtn Size mountain ???????

    6 - 8 K is about as busy as it gets anymore and if all the lifts are running, it's OK. Long ago, passholders used to have to trade the pass for a lift ticket, so they knew how many were there that day. Used to hear the stories of 12 K, with people parking in town. Back when the main lift was a...

    Ten new lifts for gore and whiteface?

    Every 20 years, New Yorkers get to vote on whether to have a Constitutional Convention. It failed again this year. The Citizens know that Money will get a bigger seat at the table than they will. So the situation remains unchanged. They can go under and close. Any sale would require passage in...

    It gets real wordy being a Gov. Document but: https://www.dos.ny.gov/info/constitution.htm then search for: ARTICLE XIV and you get to stuff like: all of the aforesaid taking not to exceed a total of three hundred acres of state forest preserve land, nor from constructing and maintaining...

    Snowboard death sparks lawsuit

    That caught my eye also. When evaluating a trail for opening, being able to get a sled down it is an issue in making the decision. If you can't, then it stays closed. If you're not sure, you call for a second opinion. Someone thought they could.

    Looking at the Webcams, the weather is either real crappy just 50 mi away or they have the Guns on.

    Hunter Mtn Expansion Details

    Injured People from the West Side get taken to First Aid by Bus down that road. I don't recall it being Paved. Clear a new path and add some rock Ballast and you have a new Service Road linking to the new parking Lot.

    Hunter Mtn Expansion Details

    You have the Belt and White Cloud, I don't think the Summit can handle off loading the 6 Pack, West Side Quad, F Triple and a new Quad. Just not enough room ford all those People.

    Shanty Hollow Corporation. I think the name comes from an actual place or part of the Mountain.

    Hunter Mtn Expansion Details

    The reason for the Wayout regrade to intermediate was due to Westside Condo's, they'll want more than just a trail to get them home. I don't see the lift as going to the Summit as it is already too crowded up there and it will just dump too many people on Belt/ White Cloud. It will prob. land at...

    Has ski building technology essentially peaked?

    Graphene will eventually replace Carbon Fiber. Still real expensive. There was a Guy at work playing with it, he retired. I kept telling him I wanted a Race Chassie that weighed 30 LBS but could handle a 1000 Hp Motor and to keep working. Unfortunately, his goals were more in line with...

    Belleayre New Gondola "Catskill Thunder" Construction Photos

    I haven't been to Belleayre in years, I liked how the Beginner area was segregated to the lower Mountain. People could learn without having to dodge quicker skiers. Now they're just inviting people to Cruise through for a novelty lift. A lot of hassle taking skis off for a 5 minute ride.

    Stowe Gondola Incident

    Bernoulli Principle will cause the pressure to lower across the top, providing lift. Most newer EZ-ups have flaps that allow the high pressure underneath to vent to the top. Time to buy a new one.

    Also think Florida Lift. It's usually sheltered from the predominately Westerly Wind.

    Hunter's "F" lift

    I only live an hour away and the lines on the Webcam kept me away last week. I see where the Lift Issue was acknowledged by Hunter on Facebook, but they didn't address the prognosis. Any idea if it is down for the season? It may not be a big deal the last few weekends, but the only other...
