Yeah that’s what I was wondering. Given holiday weekend probably an easier score to grab a room down near the thruway, but just wanted to make sure I could make it up 23

Check out the sunview motel..its right down the road..

Pretty steep curvy narrow drive up 23 to Hunter. With a big storm expected I'd spend a bit more to stay in Hunter or Tannersville, though I usually use the HoJo just off exit 21.

Capital improvement like cut some easier trails on the west side (and turn westway into 2 trails so they can better make snow), so that half of the mountain would be better utilized. I mean I love it when the North and West lifts are literally empty, but that becomes their justification of not opening them. I remember when Windham opened their East Peak and only had black trails and a lift that the massive crowd can't directly reach. I would ski only that on weekends, going down to the base only if I use the lodge or decided to ride the wheelchair double from mid-station. Anyway, they cut some easier trails on the East Peak and turned the quad into a detachable. Now they have a legitimate 2nd mountain that could offload the crowd, although detrimental for skiers like me, it is better for the whole mountain.

I don't care so much about their ancient lodge. Hunter was never about the apres or amenities.

Hunter was never about the apris or amenities.

I'd say Hunter is well known for the apres.

But Hunter was never about the easy trails.

Just a thought... Look to the west of hunter. When I day tripped I would come in from the west because of where I live. 23a from that side is a nice road. Not sure about lodging as I've never needed it. Granted you'd have to drive past hunter and backtrack in the morning.

You know when Belleayre has more open by percentage then hunter on a no snow yr. Hunter skiers got fucked

 

[Kingslug20]

Its a shame..

do not believe Sunview is open to the public any longer. Purchased by a religious group.

try the Hunter Mountain Resort Motel, the one Vail is suing for trademark infringement. It is past the mountain on 23A. Or the old Roseberry's just opened again afer being redone. Called the Americina or something similiar.

Ike and bleeker were closed yesterday for a Master's race. Next Wednesday & Thursday it is the East Coast Police Races so some trail will be closed on both days. There are several other races scheduled as they are supposedly having the local league but there is no info on the website, imagine that...

I think the Americana Mountain Lodge use to be the Mountain View Lodge. They basically refurnished what was already a motel that was in pretty good condition and increased the price by 150%. Seems like many of the lodging changed hand during this past year, from Washington Irving, Mountain View to Hunter Inn, not sure if Villa Vosilla changed hand, but it got renamed. Was it time to cash out?

I've noticed almost every place has raised their price by 30-40% this year. I can understand the increased labor cost of lodging where they require staffing, but I don't see why B&B's that's run part time by the homeowner also increase by similar amount.
