What trail is that they are blowing snow on. I've never been to hunter because of the "crowds" -I choose to go to belleayre normally. However the terrain seems pretty good over there at hunter and I'd like to get over there on like a weekday this winter. How are the crowds then?

AFAIK That's Hellgate in the picture.

I can't speak for the 'crowds' at Hunter since I've only been once so far. That one time was mid-week and there were NO crowds at all...

Same here, once midweek, no crowds.

the first few days will be crowded... I suggest waiting for Bellayre to open...

Doug or Jim can confirm, but I believe they open the "mainline" first. Hellgate>Broadway>Eisenhower. That's how it was on their 2nd day last year iirc. They may have had gunhill open as well.

Hellgate > Broadway > Kennedy to start... then they will move on to Eisenhower..

I stand corrected...Thanks.

No problemo... When you think about it.. They probably only want to open intermediate(ish) terrain at first

Judging from that photo they weren't on for long.

I usually only go to Hunter mid-week when it's pretty much empty, but the West Side and the F lift usually stay fairly uncrowded all the time, from my experience. Hopefully Belt will be open as well next week.

 

[ajl50]

Nice- I'll make sure to get out there one day this winter.

They were on for a while - it was just too warm to make snow lower then they did.. There's proabably a ton of snow at the top now..
