    Hunter Mountain is an all season mountain resort which spins to life as the snowflakes begin to fall over upstate New York. Our mate Michael made the most of the early opening and found himself surfing the coast in the morning and then made the 2 hour drive inland to hit the skis. This was his first time back on the skis this season and the conditions did not disappoint. It’s still super early in the season and Hunter Mountain is pumping the snow guns when ever they have the chance.
