Weekend: Fireworks, Pipe Jam & More!

Howdy folks! I thought I'd give you a heads up on some of the cool stuff going down this weekend here at Hunter...we hope to see you all soon, and enjoy your Presidents' Holiday period! After two awesome powder days, we're looking forward to this weekend....some awesome conditions, comfortable temperatures and sunny skies are coming our way!

Saturday, February 17 - stop by to check out our fireworks on Saturday night at 6pm! There is plenty to celebrate, namely mother nature's latest gift to us, 26" of fresh snow! NASTAR will be running on Saturday, and snowtubing will be open from 9am to 9pm.

Sunday, February 18 - join us in the terrain park for our Presidents' Weekend Pipe Jam, kicking off at 4pm. Anyone can participate (you need to sign a release, and wear a helmet). The event ends at 7. If you're lucky, your photo may even make the website! Pizza will be available for purchase and the Main Bar will be open. Sunday also brings the Mini World Cup to Hunter Mountain!

We know we're a little late with our Video of the Week and Podcast, but our web issues have been resolved! The Podcast will be available later today, and the Video of the Week will be available tomorrow morning/afternoon...we apologize for the lateness, but we have plenty of pow' footage, so keep checking back! Enjoy your weekend!

Pics, info, and powder, of course!

Ok, so here's the scoop...

Pretty much nothing is groomed. Some of Hunter One and smaller areas, but for the most part, every slope has been left untouched. Minya and East Side have enormous mounds of snow that will blow your minds! It is sunny and cold out, with a lot of wind on trails like Heuga, but it is unbelievable...so break out your twin tips and hit the slopes! Official count....26"!!!!

Here are some photos I took this morning...



Wind-created snow drift at the top of Heuga...well over a foot and a half!


Pretty much every slope is covered with numerous inches of powder...this is an understatement!

More pics coming soon I hope...enjoy!
