Any body know anything about Hunter???

Well, this technically is employee housing.

and most likely will be empty most of the time! How often do you think executives are going to be visiting Hunter?

The dump Vail rented last season for foreign workers has been sold. Not sure what they are going to use now if they can't rent it again...

Wow. Maybe I am underestimating how much money they put into it, but whoever bought the property in 2019 for $410k turned a nice profit…

I was gifted the program for the NY/PA Expo for mountain management that was held at Hunter in late September. Vail helped sponser the event which included golf and a big bash with a live band. Typical convention type stuff. The hotel and condo's were full.

Russ wrote a welcome letter, so he is still there....

Impressed with the schedule, speakers and program. There was also a trade show which included snowcats. (saw them in the lot, but none stayed at Hunter)

The active shooter and terrorism awareness classes are kind of worrisome in that they are needed unfortunatly.

Speakers included NYS counter terrorism intelligence head, homeland secutity & office of counter terrorism, pres of national ski area association and PSIA East, sherrifs from several counties, and a lot of software and equipment vendors.

went yesterday. not crowded really. Noone watching indoor band, although they were good. outside the picnic tables were full, noone dancing, weather was cool but nice, it never did rain.

Beers were $9.25 ! they add 18% tip to everything. Crazy thing is if they do not make any $ they won't do them again next year.

$20 for a skyride ticket.........

as a comparison Mountain Creek in North NJ had a Octoberfest that I thought went pretty well. Decent Music and prices I guess. I brought in a backpack of hidden beers and bought 1 BEER inside plus some food.

$20 entrance fee with free unlimited lift SKY RIDES(6 person standing cabriolet) and fun games.
Beers were $8 pint and $8 or $16 for a stein refill
Canned Seltzers were $7
Canned cocktails were $12

Oktoberfest

This isn’t the New Jersey you think you know.
