Let's Play Catch Up!

Happy Monday everyone! It's a beautiful day here at Hunter! We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out this weekend, Hunter was jammin'! The bar scene was super fun, and the conditions were great. Expect a new weekend video tomorrow, as well as our weekly e-blast!




We are also expecting some snow this week! Stay tuned as more information develops!

Possibly Some Snow?!

We are looking at possibly 3-6 inches of snow Friday into Saturday! Keep your fingers crossed! Who's coming up this weekend?!

Stay tuned as more information develops!

More Snow! Again!

That's right skiers and riders! A major snow storm is coming our way! Looks like we are in the "heavy accumulation range for Tuesday into Wednesday. No snow total estimations as of yet, but we will keep you posted as more news develops!

Winter Weather Heading Our Way!

There is a winter storm warning in effect for our area from midnight tonight, until 7AM Wednesday morning. The storm could bring anywhere from 3-8 inches of snow mixed with sleet. Be careful if you are heading up! Since we are in the higher elevations, we are hoping for more snow than ice! Keep your fingers crossed.

Stay tuned as more information unravels!

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!!

Crazy Snow RIght Here, Right Now... more to come!

We've been watching the weather for the past few days, and we've got some serious snow coming. The data coming in on our Accuweather Pro service is telling us 3-5 FEET of snow in the upper elevations of the Catskills and the Adirondacks. NYC could get 1-2 feet, as well as the Poconos and outlying areas. There is not one storm coming, but two or three... our buddy and weather guru Joe Bastardi is FREAKING OUT!

NOAA indicates 4-8 inches tonight, and 3-5 inches tomorrow (Wednesday), with more snow and lower temps rolling in on Thursday. There's also a map of predicted snowfall through Wednesday night (the first two of the handful of storms) available here.

What does this mean? Outrageous amounts of fresh powder, obviously!! We'll keep you updated on the snow totals as the snow comes in -- check back here and our Twitter feed for additional info blips. We've got a new video from this past weekend, as well, up on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/huntermountain!
