Hunter A-Frame

Pretty sure that is a BS story to generate buzz to try and sell that overpriced house.

100% true was a bar a long time ago..
In my time it was the Triple A-Frame or AAAFrame for a looong time.. We used to rage the F out of that place every New Years - there's still a tight crew of people that were part of that whole scene - 180 knows...

I almost bought it - was a bit pricey..

Absolutely not. Was one of the most popular bars back in late 60s /early 70s.
Slutzky’s arch enemies lol.

Guys would put Wanderlust stickers on big windows at hunter’s lodge bar.
They had their own torchlight parade with road flares.

How do I know?
My mom bartender at the wanderlust.
And my dad was banned for life from hunter. Atleast once a winter...

So when you say a bar, are you talking an unofficial bar or an actual business with a parking lot, sign out front, etc. It seems like an odd place to have a bar in a residential neighborhood

People knew about it... People walked to it.. It was a thing..

Back in those days things just happened and people didn't get all upset about stuff. There was more fun and shenanigans back then. People knew how to party. And weren't all stuffy about it..
There was ski house races and parties - people skied all day a drank all night.
Hunter got it's reputation from these times.. Now everyone is old and the bars are closed... It's so sad.

People don’t get waisted at Hunter? I felt like a lot of people were skiing waisted there when I was there 2 years ago.

For real - people now have no idea how much ski areas threw down back in the day. Now people complain about the partying - everyone is so stiff. Do people still party? - SURE. But do they throw down - old school - all night.. Not really..

Heck, even up tight Stowe used to go hard back in the day. There were a couple of out of the way bars in town that would stay open until 3-4AM when the law was 2AM. Even the mountain was laid back. There was a locals party every spring called the End of Prohibition Party. They'd close the Chin Clip trail off, but if you ducked the rope, half way down you'd find a dozen kegs of Shed Mountain Ale a few hundred locals partying.

Those days are long gone.
