Any body know anything about Hunter???

Today was a beautiful partly sunny day. About 30 of us enjoyed the Belt, Mainline and Milky. The groomers did a fantastic job patching it up.

Mentioned on the VAIL SUCKS thread - they are tearing down the Tubing Park and putting up a parking lot. More spaces to charge for in 2024 $$$. I bet they find the help for paid parking.

Massive snowmaking upgrades coming. Klink automated guns going in all around the mountain.

That's exciting. Like I just said in the Vail Sucks thread, if anyone can afford to "go the extra mile" it is Vail Resorts.

Was this announced yet? I haven't heard, but that would be awesome!

mgt has said that they have major snow making imporvements this summer to include fixing the racers and hellgate issues from this season.

Why is Russ's car still in the parking lot, if he is supposed to be gone??

 

[180]

Russ is not gone from the latest I hear.

 

[catskillman]

yeah, it does not seem like it. Shame, he does not respect his employees, except his daughter (who Vail made leave, but got her a job at Okemo), and does a horrible job running the mountain. Heard he has/had another job so not sure why he is still her. Just shows how desperate Vail is for GM's.

Not a Hunter skier but are you guys really stalking cars in the parking lot?

Wait, Hunter used to open early and close late before Vail took over. The previous management seemed to be able to make tons of snow with existing system

Why all of a sudden the big fanfare that Hunter will get new snowmaking "upgrade"? What about actually using the system that's in place?

Automation upgrade will increase output with less labor and provide the ability to make more snow in optimal weather windows.

Holiday Valley's automation shows the potential...

 

[Kingslug20]

Some of the systems in place are old and past their lifetime. Racers edge auto system for one.

As for charging for parking not sure the logistics of this but Hunter has one way into the parking lot. All the cars waiting to pay to park will cause a traffic nightmare back onto main street.

My understanding is that Vail doesn't charge you as you enter. They expect you to pay with an app and then simply walk around the lot checking license plates to see which plates paid and which didn't.

Do you have to pay if your a pass holder?
