Great on hill shots!

Enjoy these nice shots from our customer Ben. He was kind enough to email them to me after what I'm sure was a fun time.

A FOOT of snow in October?!

We were just blessed with what could be a foot or more of snow between yesterday and today! These photos were snapped this morning. The weather is now clearing up, and the sun is starting to shine. Enjoy the pictures and visit us soon!

A few more to close out the evening...

How much snow do we have? My car = snowbank. Taken minutes ago in Tannersville. At LEAST 10 inches since early this morning, and still coming down!! We'll post some more photos tomorrow!

5 to 10 inches later...

Sorry about the delay folks, we had a lot of power and internet outages today, and it was hard to find enough time to post photos!! Here are a few I snapped on my way out around 4:30pm -- stay tuned for more photos & news tomorrow!

POWDER ALERT! 2" so far in Hunter & Tannersville!

Good morning everyone! It's 7:10am in Hunter, still dark outside, but there are about 2 inches of snow on the ground!

Keep up with the forecast at NOAA...here's an updated forecast:

For those of you who wondered about the giant tree that suddenly sprouted atop the summit, it is now in operation!! For the many customers, guests and even locals who have struggled with Verizon service in the past, your fears are no more! Verizon service is available in Tannersville, Haines Falls and elsewhere. Happy chatting!

Got Snow!? We do!

Residents of the area received a special surprise last night: the first flurries of the season! Heading to work today we noticed a fair amount of snow on the ridges. We snapped some photos for your viewing pleasure. The season is officially upon us!

New Park Features!

Our park manager Mike Velez has been hard at work building new features for our jibbing pleasure. In the making is a 32 foot flat box, which you can check out below. Also, a sick wall ride is already completed! Both look like they will be loads of fun! Stay tuned as more features are soon to come!

As an added BONUS here is a shot of one of the 22 new snow guns going up in the park right now!
