Hunter Conditions

[jimmypete]

Hunter is maybe the most diverse mountain in the country. On any given day you see Hasidic girls, Sikhs, African Americans, bus loads of Asian immigrants from Queens, and you hear German, Ukrainian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Korean on the lift, upstate locals and yuppies from Manhattan and Hoboken, seniors citizen skiers in the morning, with some afternoon beer singing from college kids and younger cops on their day off,Sunday afternoon colorful cursing at the Giants and the Jets , though not as much this year. Weekends of course are a zoo, but there are some really good skiers and boarders and it remains a tough mountain, maybe it is the people's mountain.

I think that’s an accurate description of the place. I wonder if the Vail people are saying it as a backhanded compliment or a dig, though. Like, maybe they’re blaming Hunter for all their epic-lift-lines difficulties. I wonder if the execs at all the fancy Vail resorts out west look out the window, see the lines stretching way back past the lodge and think “Fucking Hunter skiers! We never should have bought that place!”

Sounds like The UpStates needs more walls but it’s hard to define

I thought that was the whole point.

If this keeps up he’ll soon be a dang boarder doing rails, big air & flips and spins. FTW.

It's Scott's Bday sorta. It's Friday, but I felt it was necessary to continue the celebration.

He paid yesterday at Plattekill while i rose on my pass so I paid here today. It was relatively cheap 64$.
