Hunter isn't going anywhere. It's a cash cow.

AND a great mountain to ride/ski...

AND a great mountain to ride/ski...

If there's snow (man made or natural), that is.

I think all anyone is trying to say...is Vail is fucking up the place...
An unfortunate situation. They have no idea what they bought..and do not care.

is it true the 6 pack is still down?
I saw on facebook a couple of days ago they mentioned it AFTER they had a tribute to the groomers for excellant conditions and said there were still lift tickets available.

Insane...

I think only weekends, skied Clair's today. To do that, you take 6 pack to top, hike up to top of Clair's ski down (which is very good snow there), speed over to the Northern lift, down the Belt to 6 pack and repeat. Takes about an hour! What a stupid way of doing things..............Not worth it, hardly anyone doing it to, each time I went down Clair's it was just me.

This is why I'm done with hunter. Remember lapping clairs, taylors, and Annapurna off the zephyr lift. Ever since that changed (just pre vail) I've been disappointed. A side effect of the north expansion I guess.

The only time I went to Clair's was as on my way to the North. I did that a few times on my change from the main to north side. The snow on the west and north held up the best on the quite warm wednesday.

I did hear that the Zephyr was running today, and they cut the grass on one side of Westway. Did they have a though of opening that this year? Purely relying on natural snowfall?

No one seemed to know the exact reason the 6,b and D went down. I went there around 2 pm, people were in front of the ticket windows, not sure if they were looking for refunds, or wanted to get a ticket to ski today,.. and the lift lines were still crazy long.

Quite chilly, but nice to see some people out on the deck. No bar service on the deck ..

 

[catskillman]

now today, Sunday, North side 6 pack came to a screeching and jerking hault.....WTF - dangerous.....where is the VAIL Safety BS they constantly talk about???

 

[catskillman]

today was freezing - 6 pack did not open until 9:30, and then the parkway was closed for snowmaking - so of course the north and west were also closed.

They need a ton of snow on the parkway to make it safe again - they waited too too long probably.....

The craziness continues. What will be next ??

 

[Kingslug20]

Dogs and cats sleeping with each other...we...are doomed

 

[catskillman]

tiday - noth and west closed. Ike & race trail closed for races, Racers closed due to conditions. Bottom of the parkway from drop off down without a doubt the worst conditions on the mtn. tracks, ice 6 inch blocks of solid ice....some intermediate trail...

think the cold kept folks away. Planning on going tomorrow, can;t wait to see what surprises are in store.

so done by 11 today after being stuck on flyer 2X. Again - it was a tower 13 issue ! They went right to that tower. I lost count of how many times this season I have been stuck on that chair, and have seen them work on tower 13. Very cold today, and no hot chocolate or cookie - at least 15 minutes each time. I left , the flyer was down, they were not running F, but they were still selling tickets.!

North was open. Took a run on overlok, slick as can be been. Then tried wayout thinking it had to be better well was worse. The Sleepy Hollow - it should not have been open......

What a disaster today was. And Ike & park ave were closed for high school races. So if you rode your only choices were drop off, gun hill, kennedy, madison. I think Mossy is still closed due to iceing. There were also at least 5 PSIA groups there again today. Guess they won't be coming back next year either!!

I spoke to an instructor at Gore who attended one of those PSIA events. Her only comment was "Wow, what is wrong with Hunter lately".
