Hunter Mountain

Hunter’s Two Peak Mountain Is a Popular Scene for Our Young Professionals Looking for Challenging Terrain and Après Slope-Side Fun

Just two and a half hours on one of our Urban Sherpa coaches from NYC places us on Hunter’s varied terrain. The mountain at Hunter includes steep vertical, multiple parks, access to moguls, speed run-outs for experts, and gradual lines for beginners. Hunter has been a mainstay for New Yorkers for years and is our old-school property with its traditional Adirondack-style lodge. But Hunter has the Kaatskill Mountain Club a hotel on hill that rivals any slope-side accommodations in comfort and service.

Official Burton Learn-to-Ride (LTR) Center

With Hunter One, an independent training mountain enhanced by its own user-friendly lifts and specially designed terrain within the larger resort, beginners at Hunter easily master a sequential series of skills, gaining confidence at each level. Hunter’s new, state-of-the-art Learning Center streamlines the learning process by combining cutting-edge equipment, unique teaching methods, and a dedicated beginner mountain with a new facility designed to make getting from the parking area to the slopes as effortless as possible.

Hunter has inspired Burton to designate the hill as an official Learn-to-Ride center. What’s that? Burton engineers have innovated Learn-to-Ride (LTR) products specifically designed to accelerate learning. Developed in conjunction with the American Association of Snowboard Instructors (AASI) and major resorts around North America, the LTR methodology assists people to link turns—actually feel what it’s like to snowboard—in the first lesson. Coupled with the LTR learner-specific products, it’s a methodology that makes learning to snowboard fun, easy and painless. OK, not painless.

Hunter Mountain has recently been recognized by the National Ski Areas Association for its dedication to the growth of snowsports, earning the industry award for having the Best Program to Grow the Sport to New Participants.

Lastly Hunter has performance camps and workshops all winter long: Women Learn to Ride, Mogul Workshops, Slalom Workshops, and Park and Pipe Seminars.

There are many more reasons to ride Hunter, but the best way is to discover them for yourself—ride its perfectly groomed slopes, drink in one of the many popular pubs and eat from the area’s many restaurants.

Permissions Slip for Minors

A parent or legal guardian must complete and bring along a Minor Permissions Slip for each child age sixteen (16) and under.

How do I select the correct snowboard stance?

Your bindings settings usually follow your batting stance. If you are right-handed and bat right-handed, then you will probably feel most comfortable with your left foot forward (regular). If you are left-handed or bat “lefty,” then you will likely feel right foot forward is more natural (goofy).

These are just guidelines to start. We can help you find the right fit for your ride.

What type of skier are you?

Determining your ski ability is your responsibility!

Your ski ability, height, weight, age, and boot-sole length are used by the shop to determine the visual indicator settings of your ski bindings. Be sure to provide accurate information, as any error may increase your risk of injury. Consult the skier type descriptions to select your classification. These descriptions are compatible with ASTM and ISO documents.
