Mini Hunter, Presidents Week and Upcoming Events

Hello Friends :)

We are lucky to have some crazy, creative, awesome, talented people on our team who come up with things like this glimpse into our "little" world: 

It's hard to believe Presidents Week is already upon us!  Snow-making has resumed here on the hill and there are lots of possibilities for some natural stuff to come our way in the next week or so.  Winter has a firm grip on us, and we're OK with that!  We're not charging holiday rates this week (Tues - Fri).  That means lift tickets are just $60.  If you have a Big Lift Card, you can get a lift ticket for only $30!  We're also extending our snow tubing hours for all the kiddos taking a break from the classroom this week. 
We'll be open Monday - Thursday 11:00am -7:00pm, Friday & Saturday 11:00am - 9:00pm and Sunday 11:00am - 5:00pm. 


Next weekend we have plenty of events going on for you:

Moguls Workshop - Take a full day or two-day workshop developing your skills and tactics to tackle some of the toughest bump fields in the east. Work on technique outside the bumps and then find the appropriate bump terrain to apply those skills.  The workshop includes top-level instruction, your lift ticket and food vouchers. Intermediate to Advanced skiers welcome, groups will be formed based on ability.  Price: $159 (one day), $299 (two days) – 30% off for season pass holders. To register on-line, click here.

On The Road with Windells - There are just a few snowboarder slots left (skiers slots are sold out) for this instruction-based event full of fun activities, park progression, product giveaways, coaching from the pros and much more. Windells is a year round action sports camp located in Mt. Hood, Oregon.  Rooted in the progression of snow sports, it offers programs for snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding and BMX.  In the past 24 years, Windells camp has played a key role in the advancement of many of the world's best athletes, including 18 Olympic Medalists.  The On The Road With Windells Camp aims to bring the state of the art experience Windells offers its guests in Oregon to participants across the country.  Hunter Mountain is one of three participating locations.  The camp will also make stops at Keystone Resort in Colorado and Brighton Resort in Utah.

A Glimpse into our Tuning & Repairs Shop

Hey Skiers & Riders!

Here is a little glimpse into the art of tuning and repairing.  It's always a good idea to tune up your equipment mid season, and we've got just the place for it!  Stop by our tuning and repairs shop, where you can take advantage of the Wintersteiger Tune Jet.  This all-in-one machine will grind your bases to perfection and perfectly bevel your edges to any angle you'd like. 

Thanks to the return of cold temperatures and the hard work and dedication of our trustworthy snow-makers, we have once again overcome a warm spell!  The mountain is in great shape...hope to see you out there enjoying it soon!
