Attention everyone:
Even though it has been very well advertised by Hunter in its e-blasts and on its website I want to alert you to the fact that prices for 2011-2012 season lockers and season passes go up substantially after May 1 and again after Oct 15. For prices please go to the the website link www.huntermtn.com and click on "TICKETS & PASSES".

Hunter April 10
Hi All,
As you may have heard, Hunter has closed for the season after today with coverage and skiing on almost every trail but not enough skiers & riders. Work has already started on placing the quad on the west side. Will keep you updated on the progress. Check out the video (should be posted tomorrow via the Hunter website) from the pond skimming party which by most accounts was the best ever held at the mountain.
Have a great spring & summer.

Hunter April 6 & 7
Hi All,
Spring is definitely here with temps around 50 and strong sun. If soft wet snow and moguls are for you then you will be in ski heaven. There have been very few skiers these past two days. Yesterday there were lift problems with the Flyer which didn't open until noon and "B" / "F" didn't open until 9:30. "Z" has been closed the past two days although there were a few skiing (poaching) the west side today with a car meeting them at the base for a ride back to the front side. "Z" will open tomorrow and for the weekend. There are some serious bare spots on Ike, Racer's, Cliff, White Cloud, Claire,s and brown snow in many areas but the main line is still well covered. The pond was built today. It's approx 70 ft long and 5 ft deep. Saturday looks to be a very warm and nice day for the deck party. All lift tickets are $25 from now until closing day which is still undecided. Windham closed last Sunday and Belleayre may also close this Sunday.

Have a good Friday,
Jon
