So.....learn me about Windham

Interesting....not the skiing...the other part.

You mean the nice bar with the mountain view and couches?

Well, everyone had the trails, lighting, conditions, etc. covered so I thought that another area to cover would be interesting. Ski Magazine said it was the "land of stock brokers, cell phones, suv's and all the black trails are blue.", to paraphrase the article. I heard the rest from locals that I know. And the double blacks are really for ego boosters, from personal experience. I was doing 360's down one of them a while back. I wouldn't try it at a double black at Hunter. Hellgate all day though. Hellgate is great on a Saturday on the right side after the gomers have scraped the middle. I'm talking too much now!

Sounds more interesting than the runs. I was always bored there, except for the time 14 years ago when they got hit with over 3 feet. I had no idea how to ski then and just kept falling all over the place. They even sent the groomers out.....cause everyone else was doing the same.
Now about these lonely women....................................

I have minimal use for lonely women on the couch in the mountain-view bar at an intermediate mountain. Sounds extremely high maintenance.

But you only have to maintain it for the night!

There's a new trail (can't remember what it's called) on the east mountain that has the narrow NE trail feel. Their lodge is pretty massive and I think they are expanding it this year. The only problem I have with their lodge is there are way too many people there who think they have exclusive rights to the table they are sitting at but there are ways around that also

I've always enjoyed the hill. Nice lodge, not quite as rat-packed as Hunter. Of course, I've never gone on a weekend. I like the trail layout better than Hunter. The BIGGEST thing I like about it is the aspect of the hill. When the main face goes into shade in the afternoon, the second peak is still getting full sun.

Try and find a place to sit and eat lunch on a weekend, and you will find that Hunter is LESS Crowded. Also, Hunter is not full of Bumpers and Singles like it used to be. Old stereotypes never die!

Where did the bumpers and singles go??

That seems to be a big challenge for Hunter's marketing department -- reversing those perceptions. Based on these threads, they're not succeeding.

huh? Totally untrue... These threads are peppered with people that would never like or support Hunter... There's nothing anyone can say to sway them. So I just battle the misinformation.

Hunter have successfully courted the family market... the learning center was a big move in that direction... the hotel and the liftside condos are full of families...

Hunter is not the party spot of yore...
Most bars are boarded up or burnt down...

Is there still a party scene... Sure... But not like the way i remember it back in the day..
