Any body know anything about Hunter???

[Kingslug20]

Far be it for me to tell anyone what to do...but..
Why do you keep going? Its like going to the same restaurant and eating dog shit every time.
You would be far better off at Belleayre and Gore

Yeah I wonder about this as well.

The definition of insanity is doing the same exact thing over and over and expecting (?) different results.

I get wanting to be loyal to a place...but Hunter just seems doomed at this point.

I would guess these people keep going because they bought an Epic pass and don't want to spend money to ski elsewhere. They may have property at/near Hunter so have their hands forced a bit.

Some people could have given them a pass on poor operations last year due to COVID and figured they would get their act together this year. That's understandable as well. People that renew for next year though have no excuses and should fully know what to expect.

Especially if they have property there.

What can they do? Sell their house and move some place else?

I suppose if their properties are not exactly AT Hunter, they could go ski Bell/Platty/Windham etc. Gore is quite a bit further from the Cats.

I drove 5 hours to ski at Stowe for years.before we bought up here..because thats where the snow was. To ski a mountain that is a "disaster" because your close to it...???
Doesnt sound too good to me.

But I bet you drove 5 hrs from your main home to Stowe?

It's different if you bought a second home specifically to ski a good mountain. Now that the mountain is a disaster. Do you drive to your second home first, and then drive some more to ski some places else?

Or even if they are. Windham's barely over 15min away.

I and my friends & family can/do walk to the mountain. We live here! we all thought we had seen everything over the years...each day is a surprise, and not a pleasant one lately....

btw - heard Russ and 3 other mgt types were stuck on 6 pack yesterday. Hope it is true then maybe something will happen. Russ is not a great intermediate

We would drive to stowe from ct...then bought the condo..then bought the house.
Stowe and SB just got a lot more snow than most places...still hit K throughout the season though.
If im going to spend time and money skiing..im going to get the best out of it.

At this point, I’m planning on getting a Windham pass for next year. If Hunter doesn’t care about the West side and its expert terrain, which continues to be the best in the Catskills, why bother?

 

[Kingslug20]

And there ya go...

Stop being so greedy. The CEO needs to keep the share price up to reach her bonuses. Besides, its not fair to open it when so many green and blue skiers never use West.

Some year they'll commit to fully opening the West side, market it heavily as a 30% terrain expansion and pat themselves on the back.


I did see this recent pic showing skier's left of 44 - leaving the well shrubbed liftline to continue filling in. Maybe there's hope.

I like the lift line side just memorize the locations of the pipe flanges....

 

[So Inclined]

Looking forward to several years from now, when the tips of those branches are tickling your skis like they do now on F lift.

so today, place was empty. They had B, D, F , 6 pack open. North opened around 10 with just wayout (not way in), overlook and sleepy hollow.

6 pack stopped and was then closed for maintenacne around 10:15. What a surprise. We left....

OH - rumor has it Russ is leaving... heard it from a lot of people but not any employees. Heard the guy who did that ridiculous video calling the north side an oasis and other unbelievable comments is his replacement.

I hope he's better than Russ....................BUT from what I see (his video "North is the Oasis") i think we're still in big trouble.
