Hunter Mountain Ski Bowl, Inc. Reviews

Great Mountain anytime of the year, this was my first time going to Hunter in the Fall, Very Beautiful, Ski Shop is great to and helpful

First time there was a great experience. Lovely staff and all lifts are working:)

They're just as crowded as ever. No real reduction in passes so yeah kinda lame to have to wait 45min

Beautiful ski resort, nestled right in the Catskills, great trails and lodges to accommodate, very steep but with good blue trails. Highly recommend!

It was Octoberfest.
Nice place to relax.
I think it will be good place for ski.

Was nice. Lora of slopes. However when I went it was very icey and was an insane amount of people. If conditions were better though I'm sure it would have been even better

Went there for the skiing. Great conditions and great staff

I haven't been to hunter in over 20 years. I forgot how much i liked this mountain. They have diverse terrain, well managed lift lines.

Vale buying Hunter Mountain Resort was a big disaster. Mountain has been closed the last few days despite prime snow conditions. If you have tickets or season pass, you are out of luck. And that is just the latest in a series of problems with their website, passes, reimbursements, etc.

Nice day at the slopes, good time at the bar allways friendly people to meet for a good conversation, been going to hunter mountain for over 35 years in my opinion one of the best place near the metropolitan area.

This is a decent mountain but it tends to get crowded, with many people on trails above their ability, so you need to be careful. The potential for an accident is high.

Outstanding place for skiing, fall colors(Octoberfest), also summer for the events they host. The lodging gets full early so book early. Food options aplenty in the lodge and outside. Location is great. Price is right since there are many lodging options as well.

Great facilities and a nice mix of beginner and more advanced runs. The make their own snow to work to keep as many runs open as possible. The mountain is not lit so the lifts stop running at 4pm and no night skiing is available. Overall a quiet mountain during the week days.

I had a great time at hunter mountain skiing and enjoying the amenities. The staff was very friendly and the service was great! The best part is it's so close to NYC. I would definately recommend it.

Excellent snow making in the face of poor natural conditions! Mountain is diverse with many interesting trails. Convenient lodge with many amenities. This was my first time back in over 20 years and it's an exciting place to ski.

Great time Zip Lining. The guides were patient and nice.

Mehhh, feels like skiing in central park. Over crowded, forget finding a table to actually eat lunch, staff is mostly annoyed probably from dealing with rude and inconsiderate city folk. Just be nice everyone, it's skiing

Great mountain for skiing and has great off season events

An excellent spot for 1 day trip from New York. Only two hours of drive and you have mountain, dew fast slopes and feeling of getting out for ski or snowboard. Good infrastructure, for not so big money you pay

Snow conditions were fine and service was easy. Wildly expensive for the quality of the mountain ($80). Be sure to buy a ticket before getting to the mountain.

Bang up job getting open early great snow making and grooming staff.

After a day of 45 degrees and rain, i was shocked to find beautiful conditions!

Love the festival's they host off season. Breath-taking views on the ski lift. Nice facility.

We slept in hunter overnight just so we can enjoy the snow tubing next day with the little kids. We drove down to resort all hyped for the trip, it was such a letdown to see the tubing was closed. It was a regular Monday, there was no reason to suspect that there is no tubing today. As the biggest ski resort in NY no one in our group suspected they'd be closed, and we were all shocked. Furthermore, all the locals in the area told us they're open today. And their website itself is very misleading! There is almost no indication on that page that it's open for the weekends ONLY (besides for presidents week which hours they proudly post on their website). Very disappointed with this place! It's a shame I can't do zero star, because this is how I feel right now about this wretched place.

Mountain was in great shape. Good day on the slopes.

The priority of the staff on this mountain is strictly ski school, meaning you may stand in a lift line for almost 20+ minutes with no alternating lane merge. I understand that ski schools have a certain level of priority on the lanes, but holding lift lines completely still for that long is not fair to other patrons. When I approached the staff to ask politely as to why the line was not run fairly between all lanes I was threatened by the staff member that I would be removed from the park with my life ticket voided for the day. The mountain has a few good runs, but overall management needs improvement.

Hunter Mountain is a great Ski Resort and also host tons of events. I come up once or twice a year and every year it gets better. Awesome view if you get to the very top of the mountain. Staff is cool. Food is great. Make sure you bring a camera.

Mountain Jam! What a time - went for Tom Petty & Heart breakers - incredible show - plenty of room to house loads of people! Food vendor pricing on the upper end with a lot of variety of food types.

Always icy but always a great time. Been coming here since I was 5 and I still love it :)

Visited this summer to do the zip line but we neglected to buy tickets early so it was booked for the day. Go on their website to reserve your time and tickets. We ended up taking the chairlift to the top. Beautiful! There was so much to do on the top. Bring a picnic and wine. Plan to spend time up there. Don t miss the Rip Van Winkle sculpture that took the artist 5 years to carve. Try to find the hidden animals in the carving. The staff was very helpful and friendly everywhere we turned. **The man in the picture almost convinced me he was the sculptor**

Weekend rush is a bit of a long wait. Come during the week and it's a blast. Every trail I have been on was nicely groomed.

Nice, fun getaway during any season for all ages! Went snowboarding in the winter and zip-lining in the summer :)

Been skiing here and other places for many years. Something has changed. Not as laid back, free spirited and fun anymore. Yesterday with a group on ladies day, one was nastily chastised by a mean guy in the base area because of "off color" language. Really? Why are you listening in on a private conversation? And who are you to tell her how to talk? She wasn't talking to you! And then today when I went to the shop to buy a pair of skis I demo'd I was yelled at by a lady there because I brought my dog. "No dogs allowed. GET OUT. OUT." OK OK - Don't have to be so cranky. What ski mountain doesn't like dogs as long as they are quiet, leashed, and not around food or a lot of people? For less than 5 minutes? Hunter seems staffed by a bunch of judgemental disciplinarians. Lifties are still smiling, laid back and fun. And my friends say the instructors are still great. But with few exceptions the rest of staff seems to have a stick up their you know what. Just plain crabby. Very sad. I will go to other mountains that still have the welcoming, free spirit and fun social atmosphere that captures all that skiing can be. Sadly seems that is not Hunter anymore.

Tracks for all tastes. Beginners to professionals. Ski or snowboard.

Excellent medium sized mountain with well-groomed trails, clearly marked obstacles and friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more.

to all the dumb hippies who hate on the fast skiiers & boarders @hunter..

welcome to NY. get out of the way.

Was there just recently for October festival not at all what I expected. Walked past men's bathroom smelled so bad

Zipline Tours was terrific. Had a blast. Guides were great, getting a group together to go again.

Good is you're a traditional downhill skiier. But otherwise the terrain is very limited - hard packed groomed runs. Basically no tree runs (the 'Glades' are not that great). The lifts are very old and very slow. The rental gear is crap, so far as snowboards go.
Best part about this mountain is the pub. Great fun.

Love it here. The absolute best Octoberfest anywhere

Nice ski resort. We went there for Octoberfest and to see fall colors.

Skyride was a good experience. Beautiful trails around the peak.

Updated: went to Hunter mountain today and it was snowing. It was busier than usual weekday. Went up to the Belt parkway and got into an accident. I felt and had to stop for a little bit cuz few snowboarders were riding pretty fast and, I tried to avoid them. Unluckly,one guy couldn't control his speed and bump rushed me. I got hit on my head and could not get up for a few minutes. Thank God that I had my helmet on. Very bad experience and don't want to come here for next time.
Life ticket was bit expensive and the slopes were not good as expected. I might come back to Hunter if they offer the big life card but I am done for this season. Bye bye Hunter!

Love going to the Hunter Mountain for snowboarding. They used to have the hunter big lift card until 2014/2015 season if I remember correctly. I bought my lift tickets from the Hunter mountain website ahead of time and saved some money with two consecutive days. It's always better to go there during the weekdays because there is no waiting for the lift.
Their foods in the cafeteria is much better than the other ski resorts. Especially, the chilli is one of the best! Yum yum!
I'll definitely go back to the Hunter mountain this year for snowboarding.

We did the skyrider with Marty Mae and puma. They were absolutley awsome and fun guides. We had a blast. Deffently will be going again!

The management needs to stop those ICE cars from parking in EV charging station

Even though season had very little natural snow they make the best of it. Always a good time here.

Great place to hang in the winter. Ski, snowboard, sled, snowball fight! In the winter there is place better in upstate NY.

Backpacking and Camping was fun!
John-Robb lean-to is fabulous, well protected with an amazing view!

Covienient NY mountain with some decent runs. Good snow making operations. They have improved rental processing over time. Food is pretty horrible even for a ski mountain.

Dont wait on line to buy tickets over there, they will tell you that they are SOLD OUT, and you just spended an half an hour waiting for nothing, instead buy a tickets online it will save you a time. Also dont try to rent it takes forever they are closing at 4PM.

The summer skyride to the summit of the mountain is a great way to relax, and escape both the heat and the humidity at lower altitudes. They have chairs in shaded areas that just invite sitting, reading, and napping. Worth the drive!

Excellent mountain. Well groomed. Could have used some more grooming in late afternoon.

Go during the week. The weekend is nuts way to many buses. They ship them out from the city...

Checked out the zipline attraction but didn't have time to try them.

NYZipLining Adventure was fantastic. What a great time we had the sky rider rocks.

Not big enough and facilities are ok. Town is pretty boring.

As agood as you can get for a day trip from NYC area.

Condition were rough for me. The snow makers always runnuning made some of the runs less enjoyable. But i understand why they did, not a lot of fresh snow recently.
