News Flash!

NEWSFLASH! We're making SNOW! The guns have started up on Claire's Way! Who knows where next!? What did you expect from the Snowmaking Capitol of the World?! Who's heading up?!

Pictured is one of our many high powered guns! *Not currently operating at base.

Snow is on the horizon!

We're getting 6+ inches of snow starting tonight and ending tomorrow night! Keep an eye on Accuweather and others as we are seeing varying totals of over a foot... we'll keep you posted!

eBlast 1/11/11 + new map from Accuweather!! A foot of snow? We hope so!

Hello skiers and riders!

We've got another huge storm rolling in, thanks to Mother Nature. We hope to see snow totals of a foot or more, beginning late tonight and ending sometime during the day tomorrow.

We will keep you posted! We've got three new videos up today, and we will have one up tomorrow to show you what we get in terms of fresh powder!

We could not have asked for a better time for another foot of snow -- right before the MLK holiday weekend! We've got live entertainment and DJs through the weekend, plus a rail jam, torchlight parade and fireworks on Saturday! The 2nd annual "I Have A Dream" rail jam kicks off at 4pm. Registration is at 2pm at the top of the main stairs... you can also RSVP on Facebook! Fireworks & Torchlight Parade begin at 7:30pm... we hope to see you there! Swing by for another weekend filled with events, music and, of course, awesome snow conditions!

Another big storm rolling in Tuesday night!!

Well folks, the plow trucks are preparing for another onslaught of snow in Hunter set to drop tomorrow evening! Read some details on Accuweather on the huge storm rolling up the coast... and it could drop up to a foot of snow on the NY metro area on Tuesday evening. What does that mean for the Catskills? Well, we hope that our altitude gives us even more!!

Right now a foot or more could drop Tuesday night into Wednesday. There will be some strong winds, making this storm similar to one of the early season storms we've had here at Hunter. The temperatures will be low... making for surface conditions of utter perfection when this storm rolls through, leaving fresh powder in its wake.

We'll keep you posted as we receive updated forecasts. With multiple drops this season of 10" or more at a time, we're looking forward to one right before the MLK holiday weekend!! Keep checking back!!

Change is good!

I'm changing some stuff and adding some features to the Hunterblog... so if there is some funky stuff going on, hold up! I'm working on it!

Thanks for another killer weekend... stay tuned for weather updates as more snow rolls in on Tuesday!

Winter Wonderland today: 10 inches of snow + sunshine!

I am elated to tell you all that THE SUN IS OUT today! We received 10 inches of super ultra uber fluffy snow last night... it's so light and fluffy, it is almost enjoyable to shovel! What could possibly make this better? Two things:

1. The sun is out! We were expecting a cloudy day today, and rightfully so after a snowstorm... nay, my friends, we have received sunshine! and...
2. Another storm is afoot. According to some forecasts we could get a foot or more of snow Tuesday into Wednesday. Of course, it is a bit too soon to be even remotely sure... but there is another storm heading our way.

That's all for this morning! Snow, sun and 27 degrees... perfect right? Tomorrow will be another awesome day here at Hunter Mountain. Stay tuned and we'll keep you informed about the next storm... be sure to sign up for powder alerts at HunterMtn.com!
