2012/13 Season Opening Weekend Highlights

Check out these highlights from Opening Weekend at Hunter Mountain! On Friday November 30, 2012 we had a special Season Passholder Appreciation Day, followed by the official opening on December 1st. $40 Lift tickets plus discounts for Big Lift Card holders.

Use Your Big Lift Card for Discounts on Already Reduced Ticket Prices During Opening Weekend

We have some great news for our 12/13 Big Lift Card Holders.  Even though we are going to have discounted tickets on opening weekend you can still use your Big Lift Card discount. That's right...as a Big Lift Card Holder you are going to get a discount on a discount! Not something that is normally done, but we are so excited for the start of the season that we figured, why not?  Lift ticket prices are going to be $40 beginning on opening day- Saturday, Dec.1.  Your Big Lift Card will get you a $30 lift ticket.  You can opt to use your free lift ticket as well (although I would recommend saving that for a regular priced ticket day). Lift ticket prices will remain at $40 through the week so Big Lift Card holders get $20 lift tickets. You can't beat that!

We will have top-to-bottom skiing and riding for advanced ability levels for opening weekend, and will continue to work at every opportunity to expand the open terrain as quickly as possible.
If you haven't purchased your Big Lift Card yet, you have until 11:59PM on November 30th to do so and still get that unrestricted lift ticket preloaded on your card.  Purchase your 12/13 Big Lift Card today! As you can see it provides some unbeliveable season-long savings.

The 12/13 season has arrived!

Sunday Sunday Sunday!

Alright folks, here's the deal for tomorrow:
- We'll have top-to-bottom skiing and riding. We are making snow on the Belt, though we do not know if it will be ready for tomorrow yet. The Kaatskill Flyer will be the primary lift, with a possibility of running D-Lift for intermediates (and those of you who need a break from Hellgate!)
- We are priming Hunter One, but it will not be open tomorrow. As stated above, Midstation may be available for intermediates via D-Lift.
- Mike and the park crew put some rails and boxes out, so those will remain for tomorrow.
- Pricing is $36 for adults, $27 with the Big Lift Card.
- Don't forget that if you're skiing and riding today, keep your ticket, and you can get a $26 ticket tomorrow! $10 off a full price ticket when you show your lift ticket from today.
- Shane is shooting our weekly video today and tomorrow, so if you want to tell everyone how awesome we are, look for him. Your face in our weekly video. Sounds good right?

In terms of snowmaking, nighttime temps are looking great tonight, with some tomorrow night and Monday night strong possibilities as well. We're going to open as quickly as mother nature allows. There are some raging parties in town tonight, and Solid Smoke is playing at the Main Bar (see below). Thanks for reading and keep checking back!

Keep Today's Lift Ticket, Save $10 Next Time!

Hey all! We wanted to let you all know to keep your lift tickets if you spent today here at Hunter for our opening day! Present your lift ticket from today, 12/10, on another day in the season (including tomorrow) and get $10 off!!

This is valid only on full price tickets (ie, cannot be combined with other offers EXCEPT for the Big Lift Card discount.... if you have a BLC, you get your Big Lift Card price, THEN get $10 off). So don't throw out your ticket... show it at ticket sales tomorrow or any other day for $10 off!

See you all soon and thanks so much to all of you who came out today!!

Solid Smoke Today 4 - 7:30 pm

Everyone here is really excited about opening day! After you take your turns make sure you stick around to check out Solid Smoke playing in the main lodge from 4 - 7:30 pm. DJ Dave Leonard will also be working the crowd from 2 - 8 pm. It's sure to be a good time with all the positive energy and excitement buzzing around here. Happy winter!

Pricing for Saturday

Saturday pricing will be $28 for adults and $21 for Big Lift Card holders. Stay tuned or call 800-486-8376 for further details. We'll see you tomorrow!

WE ARE OPENING SATURDAY!

Hellooooo campers!
We would like to let you know that due to recent snowfall and decent nighttime temps for snowmaking, we will be opening on Saturday!

At this point it is looking like we will use the Flyer to up/download for F-Lift, so we will at the very least be open mid- to summit. If we get some really good temps and make a lot of snow, we will obviously open top to bottom. We will do whatever Mother Nature allows, so things may change between now and Saturday in terms of open terrain. We are *hoping* to have Hellgate-Broadway-Kennedy (otherwise known as HBK or Mainline) top-to-bottom open for Sunday, and the nighttime temps look good.

We'll have pricing up on our website tomorrow, and we'll have some info from Bruce as snowmaking continues to spread out. We're also planning on getting a trail open around C-Lift so some Hunter One terrain will be available for Sunday.

Again, terrain availability is based on snowmaking and temperatures, but we will be open on Saturday... you can count on that. Stay tuned here and on Facebook for updates. And while you're waiting, you can watch the snowmaking video we shot last week:

More info soon.
