I’ve been keeping an eye on the Hunter webcam and the lines are not typical. Maybe al the hikers that crowded the trails this summer have taken up skiing.
On a typical Tuesday at 11 am the line at Hunter is about 3 minutes.

Glad I skipped checking out Hunter in person today. Hoping the crowds might ease up after the holidays.
Sucks. I was going to head up on Sunday-Tuesday. Not sure about that anymore. Let us know how the mountain holds up with all the rain coming.
Avalanches in the Catskills. It's 2020 gotta expect it. Watching out for the New Years Eve Tsunami.
Holy shit.
Nuts is right. Wow
If anybody is at killington today, let me know if it’s worth the drive up. My son is really wanting to go.
If a picture is worth a thousand words...
Goddamn. That doesn’t bode well for anything inside 3 hours of here. I assume PA is starting from scratch today?

Superstar and Ovation were all natural so far this horrible season anyway. Never seen Superstar in this state this point in the season. I guess they have no plans on June.I'm sure the trails they kept open will be given a new coat. Bear is supposed to open today. Early morning groomers and sharpened edges are recommended this weekend.

The resorts are in survival mode this year. They can't spend the normal amount on snow making because they can only sell a fraction of the normal tickets, plus no food and beer sales in the lodges. (and if you've ever bought a $11 Sip of Sunshine in the K1 lodge you know how lucrative beverage sales are)

Been at Killington since Saturday night and skied the past 3 days.
We tested on 12/23 and received results (negative) on 12/24 as did the other family we are with. Placed a grocery order online and picked up curbside in Rutland. Parking system has worked well, you scan in/out so you can come and go if needed. Plenty of parking. Only lift lines we've waited in were at K1 and Bubble chair (15 mins), otherwise it's ski right up. Mask wearing is being monitored at lifts and base areas with very high compliance. Didn't really use the lodges other then a quick bathroom break but they have limited assigned tables (45 mins) and grab and go food options. Packed a backpack each day and ate lunches/snacks on chairs and gondolas.
Terrain is very limited as expected but its been fun and kept our mixed experience level group together for the most part.
Here's a toast we did to Ullr and a better '21.
