Have A Laugh: West Side Name Submission Funnies

It's a beautiful day here in Hunter!!

Though we have yet to choose a final name for our new lift, I did have an opportunity to giggle at the long long (long long long) list of submissions.

I know many of you are eagerly anticipating finding out the West Side quad's new name... in the meantime, here are some sillies that will (sad to say) probably not be winning:

East Coast Ice Glider
Catskill Creeper
Broadway Boogie Woogie
The Neil Diamond Skyway (with attached comment, wah wah wah... so good so good)
The Wicked Witch (of the West)
Catskill Catapult
Empire State Elevator
The Mod Quad
Wide Load
The Back Side Ride

Stay tuned & thanks for your submissions! We'll be letting you know the final decision soon!

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!

Lift Construction Update! Concrete Pouring!

For those of you who are anxiously awaiting winter, progress on our new six pack is moving great! This morning concrete foundations were being poured on our new summit terminal. 12 concrete trucks are making their way up the mountain as I write this!Check out the photos!


The picture below shows a crane unloading the hual rope, somewhere around 27 tons!

Towers go up soon! Stay tuned as we release more information and photos!

Incase You Were Wondering...

The lift construction is going smoothly! I went up D-Lift today, and armed with my IPhone, I snapped a photo of Hellgate, with no lift towers!

The second IPhone shot is of the Quad base terminal, it's just about gone!

Most of the towers are down, the remaining towers will be removed by way of helicopter. Stay tuned for photos of that!

We Are Closed for the Season

After careful assessment of the mountain, we have decided not to re-open for the weekend. We thank everyone who made it a great season, and we look forward to a productive summer. Construction on our new six-pack chairlift will be starting immediately.

We're putting in a brand new six passenger chairlift this summer! Details here!
