Looking for a pleasurable place to stay in the Catskills Mountains region in New York? Then Hunter Mountain should be one of your prime choices. It offers one of the best terrains in the area. Hunter Mountain is also very convenient since it is just a couple of hours away from the Big Apple. It is also popular for its usual snow conditions making it a skier’s mountain. It also appeals to those who want to party during weekends. Indeed Hunter Mountain is an ideal place to stay both for nature lovers and party goers.

For those who want to run during the morning try the Heuga Express, then go to the Racer’s Edge, and the Quad as their opening runs, before hitting the Upper and Lower K-27. In the afternoon, going to the east side would be more recommended. Try the Minya Konka then proceed to Lower Crossover. Those who are bold enough can try the tough side of the mountain such as the Claire’s Way and the Outer Limits. Then close the day by going to the Heuga Express and Drop Off before going back to your hotel. Both courses offer good skiing speeds as well as hairpin turns that have fast but relaxing rollers.

However make sure you don’t stay in the high noon, and stay away from the major quad until the afternoon. Take instead the triple, the F-lift to the summit, or mix both courses. Read the rest of this entry »
