Who actually has the Most Powerful Snowmaking System?

[manhattanskier]

My vote is for Vernon Valley/Great Gorge!

I wouldn't call that a pump house. That's where all the compressors are located.

Even if there are no water pumps it's still considered a pump house in the industry. You're pumping air up the hill too.

Yes but we were talking about mid mountain pump houses, boosters. Snowshed is the main base facility.

Hunter did some upgrades I heard... new compressor and more automated snowmaking...

That is the rational behind the upgrades.

Is it?
I was talking to Russ in the bagel shop the other morning... He was going on about all of it.. I was really beat and really just wanted coffee...

I told him it was an end of an era..
I abandoned my season locker and didn't buy a season pass for the first time in like 25 years..

Taking on a job thats going to get me traveling again.. Lots of west coast...

This I what I heard. I also abandoned my locker of 25 years and bought a 3 in 1 pass for the NYS areas.

But I also have a 6 day season pass (weekdays and Sundays no Saturdays or holidays) at Hunter.

Wow...I hope Hunter is paying attention to what the diehard regulars are doing.

ULLR

Nice skis, huh?

Seriously? If we're relying on this guy ^ We're all in trouble. He looks like a total incompetent.

They do.. Russ runs the place..

Jim and I really aren't like most Hunter die hards..

I live a mile away - I'm ok with using my car for a while as a locker.

You'll see me more at Plattekill and maybe further up north this winter..

I got a Big Lift Super Saver Card .... And I can supplement a day here and there with the kindness of friends that work there...
I've never called in favors... i may this year.. haha

Thought about Big Lift card but I will ski Hunter enough to more than pay for 6 day pass.

I need to move around more and ski a lot of areas. Did more of that last season and liked it.

Hey Funky, What are "usual" Hunter diehards like?

All Russ thinks about is the almighty dollar and padding his retirement.

Not even really sure...

Thats why I put a smiley face...

FunkyC ... would like to get a chance to ride with you at Plattekill. Tradition is I buy beers on my birthday Jan 8... show up then, or maybe we'll see each other some other time. Regardless, have a great season where ever you end up.

I think thats a firm possibility..
I hope to ride a lot more this winter.. And not having a Season pass this year opens things up a bit..

Tough to pass up..
