A better option than Wyndham at the moment. Snow was velvety sticky and I loved it, some areas were wind swept. Only complaint was having Hunter West stop its lift close to closing time (I took Way Out as my last run). Some people were stuck on lift :cry:, while those on ground (50+) had to green bus shuttle out:sadwalk:.

I did get a $20 discount for my next lift, lesson, etc. :beer:

Anyone on this forum one of those unfortunate ones stuck on the lift near closing time?
I heard it was going to take 2hrs to get it going again.

Did you get a FREE lift ticket?

How come the new 2011-12 trail map still shows the old Z double chairlift in addition to the Zephyr Express? Is it still there or is that a mistake?

Edit: from Hunter's blog: "Z Lift will be used as a backup lift to provide extended capacity." Why couldn't they have used the Z lift to bring the people stuck on the west side back to the top?

Yeah, only ZExpress lift was running most of the day I think, Z was shut down all day, or probably since it was closing time.
It was kind of luckily weird as I did not see many people stuck on lift.
