It's hard to argue with this level of snowmaking:

When was this? I'm impressed.

That's the first photo of the place I have ever seen. That is a weird layout. How do you get any sustained vertical out of that place? It looks like a bunch of little learning hills stacked on top of each other.

What mountain is that in your picture?

Hunter! At least that's what Google said. Is it not Hunter?

Oh no idea. I thought you may have been posting a picture of another Peak Resorts ski area to show their snowmaking capabilities... It probably is Hunter. I just looked at their trail map it looks similar...

 

[VTKilarney]

I posted it to show that whatever system is in place is pretty darned impressive. It may need some preventative maintenance but it clearly packs a punch.

At one time they where trying to expand into that bowl on the left in that picture. They were trying to do a land swap with the state for some of their land on the west side, but the state would not play ball.
Your looking at 1600' vert as it is now. If they could expand into that bowl, Hunter would rival any other resort in the east.

I know several people who have them. Seems to be an issue with every sale like this.

He's it be awesome. Learn from hiking that Catskills mountain s are much more bigger then their trails at various hills.

It would be really cool, but lets not get all cray-cray. The vert would be much better, but they'd realistically likely be pretty limited with what they could do even if they had access. It is too bad that the Eco-extremists have the politicians by the purse-strings through.

Hunter owns into the what we call the "ravine"...
There has been some log clearing from lately.. Some of the dying tree from some insect..

the also own the property next to Anna Purna..

it could be done..

If that were to happen they would be in a totally different ballpark skiing wise. Would make the place awesome imo

Do they own anything above where the current lifts summit? I've never been to Hunter, but my understanding is there is a fair bit of unused vertical yes?

How much of the physical mountain lies within the "Forever Wild" region of the Catskills?

 

[Mapnut]

Actually the 1500-foot vertical of the two or three runs on either side of the high-speed 6-pack (you can probably figure out on the photo where that goes) is pretty good sustained vertical too. Not exactly fall-line, but no flats. It's actually steeper toward the bottom. 1300' fall-line vertical on the west side.
(The 1600' vertical has to be measured to the bottom of the bunny slopes in the foreground.)

They do..
We live in the Catskill Forest Preserve. But i think Forever wild is only for land owned by the state..

I personally love the base lodge..
I'm a big fan of Mid Century Modern..

There's a guy on the wall of fame with the same name as me:grin:

Gore and Whiteface food is handled by the same vendor, Centerplate, and has been for many years.

They run Cannons also.

BG - the solution is simple. NY users a miles-based system, right? They just need to clear cut some sections of the existing footprint to buy more mileage...

 

[Funky_Catskills]

There's been a thinning of trees on town owned land adjacent to the ski area due to weevils or some shti...
