The History of Hunter Mountain

[Benny Profane]

This is pretty cool, even though I don't like the place much at all these days. Check out the slide show at the bottom.

Cool... Boy, If they were ever to expand, there is such potential... Probably not in my life time.

I grew up at Windham and skied Hunter like twice. Hated it, way to crowded. Good read though

[icelanticskier]

Yeah, that mountainside to your left as you ride the main chair from the bottom (isn't it a six pack now?) looks pretty sweet. I hear that a state legislator from Brooklyn, of all places, has blocked that expansion for years.

interesting enough;need way more pics though.Hunter is hella fun;just wear your helmet & elbow pads ....new yorkers dont stop ,unless its for a corner hot dog. & how about that bunker at the top there too?...gotta be some stories in that. My buddy blew his engine drivin up there once;the 14'' of snow is all we remember that day

[bmg97]

My condolences.

HAHAH !! It served it's purpose and was way cooler back in the early 80's.

That mountainside to your left does look pretty sweet.



(Sixpack = yes).

annapurna woods? yeah. shits fun for what it is.
sister and bro in law coach at windham nowadays after leaving hunter. would rather hit plattekill–but hunter can be fun.

always wished mt. beacon was open when i was growing up but if dreams were pennies i'd be rich.

I remember doing YMCA trips to Huntah from Jersey in the mid-70's. They used to make you demonstrate your skills before they'd let you ride the upper mountain lifts. Not a bad practice IMO.

Weekends=teh suck, but could be fun for a mid-week powder day or late season corn.

There was a huge cougar migration from Huntah to Killington in the early 2000's. Aparently their hunting grounds had been depleted.

[TomCrac]

Ha! I thought you were referring to the other cougars that left Hunter after most of the bars burned to the ground... Accurate statement either way

[systemoverblow'd]

Hunter is hella fun

Did you hit your head or something? You stopped using the spacebar and you sound like a california fag. Hella?

[BrianH]

With a name like "Slutsky" it's hard to see how anyone could go wrong.

[mtskier]

when I was at Skidmore we skied Hunter weekday nights. super fun.

[Benny Profane]

I think you're thinking of West Mountain. Hunter has no lights.

[TomCrac]

I think they did have night skiing for a short while ( doubt if it was top to bottom) .... Not unless mtskier is thinking night tubing...

[Benny Profane]

No, he's thinking of either West or Willard, both within easy driving distance from Skidmore. Hunter is about two hours.

Hunter had night skiing from 1964 through '72. Don't know if it was T2B.
