Snowboarding at Hunter Ski Resort - (Season 5, Day 70)

This was my first day snowboarding in New York and it was sick! The ski resorts are way bigger than I thought they would be.

Glad you meet David, as a fellow Hunter employee whose skied here my whole life(19 years) hunter is def the best skiing around you just have to know where to ski to avoid the crowds. Come back sometime and I would love to show you around the mountain some more if you can spend more time here!

[@MrMasterNorris]

As a local, hunter is more busy than bellayre because a) it’s closer to nyc b) it has the biggest name recognition (it’s been this way since before the vail purchase) c) it has the biggest vertical drop in the area d) it has the best diamonds around

[@seph13x]

Yes, Belleayre sucks, you're totally right. Actually I recommend no one reading this ever comes to Belleayre......stay far away.....Hunter 40 min lift lines are totally worth it....... it's not even worth coming to Belleayre to verify........ I'll even do my part and ski in Belleayre to give you guys an extra opening at Hunter. Nothing to see at Belleayre, move along....... 😄

Hunter is also more accessible from NYC, it is close to the highway compared to Belleayre.

[@jiovaniloncarevic]

Agreed, Belleayre is pretty far into the middle of nowhere. I was low on gas out there recently and was almost stranded 15 miles from the nearest open gas pump with no cell service.

Grew up skiing/wrking at Hunter Mountain . Now living in NC so hit up Sugar & Snowshoe but still get back to VT, NY every yr . My favorites are Whiteface, Sugarbush & Okimo . Killington solid too . Made it to your neck of the woods last yr, Vail ....

[@quademather206]

Go to a small resort and shread it that would be sick like plattakill its ten mins away from there and it actually steep

[@laxmanusa1]

The problem with Hunter is all that the lifts to get up the mountian are located in the same place. Belleayre has 2 lodges that help with crowd control

Can't wait to see the Jiminy video...I love ripping that place at night...lots of fast hot laps.

[@danielmaloney1050]

You are 100% correct on the epic pass stuff, I personally got the pass that includes (gore,whiteface,bellarye) not bad lines and I got the pass for $450 dollars since I’m a teenager.

[@rolansereny9922]

Ya lol, a pass that includes a handful of hills. A $450 rip off. The $650 Epic Local includes Whistler/Blackcomb, Breckenridge, Vail, Stowe, Okemo, not tiny NY and PA hills.

[@danielmaloney1050]

@@rolansereny9922 since when is the highest vertical drop in the east considered a tiny hill? Plus I live close to gore and whiteface and I don’t have to wait 50 hours to get on a lift at vail.

[@rolansereny9922]

@@danielmaloney1050 just making a point, which is that you can’t compare the mountains out west to east coast resorts. For example the highest in Vermont is Killington at under 5k feet. In CO and Utah mountain elevation is wayyyy higher. Quality of snow is wayyyy better. The frequency of snow is far more often. The runs are longer. The resorts have features you don’t find out East such as cornices, massive bowls, above tree line terrain, insane coulairs and gully’s and drops. Impressive tree skiing and also amazing Apres Ski. You really need to respect resorts like Vail, Breck, Snowbird, Park City, etc. The mountains you are speaking of are small in comparison. And if people are smart they hit the slopes Monday through Friday, not on weekends, and then guess what? No lines. And, it’s not as if there aren’t long lines on weekends out East. I grew up in CT, spent 15 years skiing Vermont mountains. Snowboarding out West is on an entirely different level. Far more challenging. Far more exciting. Simply better by any metric.

[@danielmaloney1050]

@@rolansereny9922 I’m 16 and will most likely move out west later in my life, but I thought you were comparing other east coast passes to the one I use.

[@EndlesslyNikkiSaid]

The crowding is also probably due to bus trips from NYC. Hunter is one of the mountains the buses all go to as a day trip. I assume the one 30 mins down the road you're talking about is Belleayre? For some reason the NYC buses don't go to that mountain. But yeah, I grew up going to Belleayre and when I went to Hunter for the first time last year I wasn't too impressed for all the hype it gets.

Presidents day is one of the biggest ski vacation holidays.

[@useyourbrain-vm8li]

So hyped to see you hit Killington

[@hartmatt]

Pumped to see you on the east coast, but a few comments... You missed the glades at Belleayre (the best part!), and Hunter is always crowded (nothing to do with Vail). Whiteface and Gore are both NY State owned resorts, so don’t expect crazy parks, but make sure to hit the double blacks at Gore (Rumor and Lies) and the glades in Burnt Ridge Mountain! Great videos!!!

[@danielmaloney1050]

I think he will like the whiteface parks

[@wagerja]

I commented on the Belle Vid about missing the glades... shame

[@thejerseyshred7597]

Absolutely right about the epic pass resorts on the east. Thing is.... When I go out west its just more cost effective to get the epic/ikon and deal with the lines here in the mean time. If you can head up to new Hampshire... Wildcat mountain is sick. Went for the first time this passed weekend. Its on the epic.

So stoked you’re on the East Coast buddy! NY is one of our spots we like to hit a lot and I would totally come ride with you if it wasn’t for the pandemic my dude!

Great video!!!!!

[@jonnyunitus7166]

Yeah out here in the north East weekends are terrible! But yeah unless you're able to travel mid week epic pass out here aint really worth it everything is spread out and our season is usually shorter, icier and crowded. A local season pass with a triple ticket to somewhere special is usually money well spent though

I feel like my area has been consistently more busy than normal. I figured it was due to people working from home more and having more time or something of that nature but conditions have also been great too.

[@parker5323]

Seriously recommend coming out to Maine. Take a 3 day trip and hit up Sunday river, Sugarloaf, and Saddleback. Like 3 of the top 5 largest east coast resorts. Sunday river is rated as the 5th best east coast park. And Sunday river has 8 peaks. Saddleback is large and has no lines( best trees) Also gets the most snow. Sugarloaf has only above tree line skiing, great parks, lines aren’t bad, it has CAT skiing, and has the best glades( basically a whole peak of just cliffs, pow, and sick trees.

Hey you should go to camelback resort its very goid

[@lauralyn8785]

I can't believe you were at Hunter the one weekend we were in Vermont! Not to mention, Killington while we were at Stowe 😔. The best advice to avoid the lines at Hunter is hit the 2 man on the far right, and then the 3 man that's halfway up the mountain to get to the top! Never waited longer than 5 minutes on busy Saturdays that way! Vail does oversell tho, you should see the way they pack the PA mountains

[@robprokop9515]

Grew up riding there! Looks like some of the footage was shot on Belt parkway! Get a chance to ride k27 on the backside of the mountain.. the toughest run there.

[@rolansereny9922]

Actually camelback isn’t a ‘nice place’. I wrote a review about it on Google. The staff doesn’t care about the mountain. On a perfect powder day hundreds of people were screwed over when they decided to only open one lift, and then the next day only two lifts. People paid good money and drove from hours away and they didn’t give a hoot.

[@OnkyoGrady]

Hunter had the best local marketing long before vail, also long lines. Gary on the radio shooting hunters praises in nyc was a common thing back in the FM days. Bellayre had gone through dire times in the past (state owned mtn) so it might have a backlog of mediocre visits keeping people away.

You are 100% right. My local mountain Mt. Snow which was also bought over by vail has been horrible. The lift lines are insane on the weekends and holidays. At the time there a reservation system in place because of COVID and the crowds are still insane. Which makes me wonder what this place would be without the reservations? wait time on the lines take up to 30 min and 40 min. Vail has just given up on Carinthia the terrain park. They started building the half-pipe and just gave up so there a half built pipe. They don’t even build the big jumps on inferno like they normally do. I have just had a horrible experience with Vail. Anyone else have the same experience?
