How To Build a Base Terminal by Hunter Mountain

If you've been keeping up with the progress of our 6-pack construction project, then you know, things are moving fast! We are amazed at the precision and speed that our staff is showing in this massive project. Below are a pictures of the base terminal as it stands now. I can tell you that it didn't look like this just a week ago!

Below are the pedestals and cross arms up and ready!


The following two pictures show the placing of the detach mechanisms.

All major parts of the base terminal are in place! Workers are now moving on to the roofing of the terminal. Stay tuned for more updates!

Lift Construction Still Going Strong!

Here is another lift construction update for you winter junkies! As you've seen in previous posts, towers have been going up everywhere, and summit terminal construction was efficient. We are now on to the base terminal. The hole was dug, the concrete was poured, and the pillars have gone up. Check out the pics!


That was fast! --->

Terminal parts are arriving almost daily. As you can see by the pic below, the Kaatskill Flyer is in the house!


Things are moving quickly! Stay tuned for some "high-flying" action coming up next week!

Tour of the Catskills

Hunter Mountain was a proud sponsor of the Tour of the Catskills 3 Stage race over this past weekend. Over 600 competitors attended including over 100 professional cyclists! Day Three started at the base lodge, and included a grueling climb up Platte Clove, which tested even the strongest of riders! Hunter also offered a pace car for the Masters/JR Class. Enjoy the pics! Make sure not to miss it next year!
