Hunter Mountain in mid December
 

With Hunter Mtn it is easy to predict .... frozen granular on hardpack all
year round 'till spring. Then you can through some rocks in the mix.

Enjoy!

I'm going to be in NYC in mid December so I might shoot over to Hunter for
a few hours. What sort of conditions should I expect? Do they usually have
any intermediate stuff open that early in the season?

Sounds like most of the skiing in the East!

Not sure where you've been skiing in the east. I've skied some fantastic
conditions the past few years.

Ditto. I think some people are just biased against east coast skiing.
Last year the snow conditions in the east were as good as you'd get
anywhere.

You talk about last year and "some" fantastic conditions the past few years,
there's more history than just last year and a few times per year. I'm not
complaining about the icy conditions we have here on the East coast. As
long as the ice isn't rock hard, I like it provide my edges are sharp.

Again, where have you been skiing? I think I've had maybe 10 bad days
(i.e. icy) out of about 150+ days over the past 6 years. Where do you
see this ice? Maybe you should choose different ski areas.

My guess is that you're spending too much time at Hunter, Windham, Mt.
Creek, Killington and in the Poconos.

You named a few of the places you may add Stratton, Mt. Snow, Sunday River,
Attitash Bear and Wild Cat. So where do you ski that you get all this great
skiing conditions?

Stratton has had excellent conditions almost every time I visited. Same
for Mt Snow. I do much of my skiing at Plattekill though.

I have never skied there as of yet, heard plenty of good things about the
place though. My last two trips to Mt Snow last year had areas that were
ok, slushy and icy. Stratton was great the times that skied there last year
but the year before found areas that were icy. Keep in mind that I don't
mind hard pack snow...

Yes! I've had some good days too ... only not at Hunter. I ski mostly Mt.
Snow and Okemo plus couple of days at Stratton and Killington plus a long
weekend in Breck, CO plus 5-6 days in Europe. East coast ranks the lowest on
my scale, Europe ranks the highest. One time I actually went sliding at
Wintergreen, WV (what a joke). I used to ski a lot more while I was racing
(FIS), but now I have bills to pay and I don't ski as much as I would like
to.
