Any body know anything about Hunter???

Official word was that 6 pack was down through the morning because of the wind. Seemed legit from what I saw and felt taking the B-F route to the top (and then swiftly over to the north, which was fairly sheltered from the wind.)

no - friend was stuck on it for 15 minutes and they were working on tower 13. two guys this time. It is always tower 13 this season...

F broke yesterday afternoon, today loading only every other chair.....busy busy day, and a lot of ski patrol action. Just heard the chopper coming in

someone was seriously injured which is why the choper was called !

Head and neck injury and not alert I am told. Young woman in her 20's - hit from behingd by a snowboarder from what I understand. Sad and not to be made light of. could have been anyone, this person was just very very unlucky

Someone also fell off a lift on, I believe Hunter One.

Unfortunately, you're correct.

Was that before or after she was "hit from behingd by a snowboarder" as previously mentioned

Not the same person. I don't know anything about the snowboarder, but was relatively close to the lift-faller.

2 seperate accidents. Woman fell off C lift at Hunter 1, right before you get off/on the ramp.

soo - today, monday, the website says that the north lift is open, but all the trails over there and the west side i closed.

i guess they are just running that lift for people parking at the OASIS so they can get to the front. Guess they have to download or walk back.

it also says B is closed but it is running....

What is so difficult about giving people accurate information?

So this was just posted a few minutes ago on the 'gram. I can't decide if it's some kind of sick joke given the conditions right now, the most unbelievably unexpected thing I've seen all year, or both.

Power was out - just getting restored. And it's pouring rain.

and currently Hunter is reporting 49F. It is 75F here in NNJ.

And that's accurate, according to my car's thermometer. I was running a few errands nearby, so I just scarfed my lunch down in the parking lot there. As of 2 pm-ish, C, B, and the Flyer were spinning and not a single person was to be seen on a chair or on the slopes.

My thermo reads 56 in the valley by the Northside.

I saw this - maybe they got hacked and it is a joke. I would be happy if they got the April 1st. who is going to run the place, the foreign workers will all be gone by then! And if you check the site they are not selling tickets for past the 2nd.

saw similar for Mt Snow and Vail is now saying May 1st. Now forever Vail always said they had to close early because of some animal migration. Guess they worked out a deal with the herd......

I just filled out another survey they sent me..................I know they don't read them, shit they asked about the food service of restaurants that haven't been open in two years! Total formatted survey junk, just like the EpicMix!

Went on Wed, West was closed, and when Overlook eventually opened in the North, they had markers signifying to ski in 20 ft wide area between them. I wondered why, and when I skied past those markers, it was rock hard ice under that thin layer of snow. They seem to be doing minimal grooming to get a trail opened. I was wondering why all the trails that looks like its covered by powder are not open, I guess this is why.

I was looking at Vail's capital improvement for the northeast, and it includes replacement of lifts in both Okemo and Mt Snow (after already doing extensive upgrades this year). Either Hunter already has the latest snowmaking/lifts/trails that it doesn't need improvement, or it is not considered important enough to spend money on, or that the new yawkers will always come no matter what.

Hunter North including Hunters second six-pack opened 3 seasons ago. Suspect it will be awhile before we see any additional upgrades from Vail. What would you like to see ? D, E, F and H lifts are pretty old.
