Hunter Mountain Avis et notations

Il y a eu quelques améliorations depuis le rachat initial par Vail, mais la production de neige, le damage et le nombre de pistes ouvertes ont tous diminué. Leur stratégie semble être de donner moins, de faire croire que c'est mieux et d'espérer que les skieurs oublieront ce qu'ils avaient avant. Des sources internes m'indiquent que Hunter est la station la plus rentable de Vail sur la côte est (je ne sais pas exactement comment ils sont arrivés à cette conclusion, mais la station attire certainement énormément de skieurs). Quoi qu'il en soit, Vail fait des profits considérables avec Hunter, tandis que l'expérience se dégrade. Ce n'est plus la capitale de la production de neige de l'Est.

• Terrain exigeant pour experts lorsqu'il est ouvert
• Sous la direction de Vail, la production de neige, le damage et l'ouverture des pistes ont tous diminué, malgré une légère amélioration ces deux dernières années – le niveau d'antan reste toutefois inférieur à celui d'avant.

Station vraiment sympa ! Idéale pour les débutants avec de bons terrains intermédiaires. Les pistes pour skieurs confirmés sont bien aussi, mais à 12 ans, je pouvais skier partout, même sur les pistes noires de Hunter West. Donc, si vous cherchez un vrai défi, cette station n'est peut-être pas faite pour vous. Personnel agréable, bonne neige de culture et, dans l'ensemble, une station vraiment super !

• Terrain très diversifié
• Tellement cher

C'est un véritable fiasco depuis le rachat par Vail Corp. Le pourcentage de pistes ouvertes cette saison a été le plus bas jamais enregistré. Il semblerait que les nouveaux propriétaires ne cherchent qu'à exploiter la montagne au maximum et n'investissent rien dans son fonctionnement ni dans son amélioration. Une pure opération immobilière !

• est le meilleur défi à moins de 2 heures de New York
• Le rachat par Vail a eu un impact 100 % négatif sur Hunter. L'enneigement artificiel et le damage des pistes, qui étaient les meilleurs à proximité de New York, sont désormais inexistants ; il semblerait que Vail soit uniquement intéressé par l'encaissement des forfaits de ski et n'investisse absolument rien dans le domaine skiable.

While I had lots of fun, I was in tremendous pain during and after skiing. It wasn’t until after I visited another resort and was given proper instruction & guidance in regards to my rentals, that I realized this place really let me down. I paid a fortune to rent skis, all they did was pick a pair from the shelf after stating my shoe size and had me put them on. No one told me how to put them on properly, how tight/loose to make them, how they are supposed to feel, how to take them off. Employees were chatting while i was struggling to take off my boots, no one offered to show me how. After visiting Okemo, someone measured my foot, and informed me that my rentals at Hunter were an entire size too big causing weight shifts in my feet while skiing, resulting in my extreme pain (which caused a slight meniscus tear). Apparently an extreme no no in the ski world. As a beginner, this needs to change and staff needs to do better. I am lucky that i didnt further injure myself due to the lack of care and education by the Hunter mountain team.

The snow was decent though suffering from a heat wave but I wont hold that against them. My only real issue is the price. I nearly went to another mountain but that was the same price for half the mountain. Meanwhile you are charging nearly the same rates as Zermatt for 18% of the mountain. You have employees doing unnecessary work further wasting money. One person is physically scanning passes when most places use a RFID turnstyle while another employee is holding the chair to steady it. That is on top of having someone sit in the booth for emergency which makes sense. Terrain park was decent, food was overpriced. Staff was cheerful. You're numbered gate for rentals is annoying as well, making me move to multiple stalls is dumb when you could have one person getting me squared away.

• It was close with a decent amount of trails.
• Owned by Vail jacking up prices Especially for how small the mountian is.

Disappointed, wanted to get a gift card, order it over the phone but charge a fee of $4.95 to do that. Seems wrong. We all know it doesn't cost that to mail a gift card.

• My son enjoys going here
• Can't order a gift card over phone without a $4.95 charge? !

1. Lifts are open at 8 but you can’t pickup you on line purchased tickets before 8. 2. Lodge is closed before 8. 3. Many lifts and runs are not open 4not enough snow is made and runs becoicy very quickly ( even after snow storm) 5 cup of hot water is 3.5$ really !!!

• None
• Everything. Overpriced

Skiing and snowboarding here for 40 years. Vail just isn't making the snow that the previous owners did. Sold a ton of season passes and not opening lifts and terrain. Very disappointed.

• It is open
• Now that it is cold still only making limited snow. Very crowded, 1/2 the mountain open

Horrible parking situation and they are the cheapest people you’ll meet. They don’t groom any trails and the parking lot is a disaster. They didn’t even plow or salt on a holiday weekend. It was laughable how bad this place was
