Huntah sold to Peak Resorts

[catskills]

Will the new owner raise the price of a ticket ? Obvious question

 

[SKI-3PO]

Yes. Obvious answer.

 

[deadheadskier]

Prices have gone up at Wildcat, but are still a great value. The Granite pass is still the best multi mountain pass deal in New England IMO.

 

[gmcunni]

where/when do prices go down?

 

[deadheadskier]

ASC is the only example that comes to mind

• Grooming, can’t be much worse and I think we’ll see some new “mogul” area. At least we’ll have someone new to complain to.

This! Seems like it would be so easy to fix. Hunter has horrible grooming (death cookie and dangerous ditches/irregularities galore), but they insist on grooming everything except that tiny Crossover trail. Leave more trails alone to bump up - or at least parts of the trails - and do a better job on what's left. Better for everyone.

I see this change in ownership as a potential really positive move. They were at the forefront of snow making in the 80s, but haven't done much since.

+1 I remember skiing powder snow then from their guns. I thought they just got cheaper about making snow as prices of everything went up.

I just wish they'd f'ing open...

Me too. I almost thought of driving to Mt Snow tomorrow, but then it passed...

Seriously, wth? There is not a single mistake in that sentence. It's perfect.

The first sentence could use some work..

But for Scotty that is an A+

Smart move, and not just to decrease my liftlines - I somehow managed to make 19 runs today on mainly just Cascade to Canyon or Long John/Deer run/Little John with 3 runs down The Gulch today, mainly to hold off going to the bar to
o soon!! When I got too bored to the point where I crossed my tips and fell on Deer Run, I knew it was time to quit after 19 runs and 27.2k vertical feet and go drink some beer!! :beer:

We NEED cold air and some natural snow ASAP!!!

They've started on River Run and Freefall on the Northface as well as Ridge on the main mountain and Nitro at Carinthia and unless they NEED to make snow on any currently open trails to keep them open plan on making getting those trails open as soon as possible priority #1 - the forecast may make that tough though for the next week plus :-(

 

[andrec10]

So Hunter made snow last night and the other night! Windham...nothing. Also looks like they started Jimmy Heuga. Maybe this IS a good thing! This is with marginal temps. Maybe tonight will be enough to open up.

 

[JimG.]

Going to get my Hunter pass this week and hit Mt. Snow since I can ski there for free.

Lucky enjoy. If in only I knew Peaks was going to buy Hunter last spring. Oh well I know what my plan is for this spring.

After a little bump after their announcement of the purchase of Hunter Peak stock is heading back down the toilet.
