Ski lift
Kimberly A.

Do your research before the Fall foliage ski lift! Even if you buy reserved tickets online you must print your ticket at the ticket desk. With that being said you could buy advanced tickets and they can still shut down the ticket booth which you need to go to print. This depends on the crowd size for the day because the line can get very long. When I called at 3pm they said the line was 2 hours but it ended up being only an hour wait. The experience was worth $20 in my opinion. We visited during Fall festival weekend and it was very crowded and food prices were stadium prices (that was only the disappointment really). Parking was free and theres a ton of trails on and surrounding the resort. Great place for photo opportunities and the drive up was breathtaking. I'd love to return to hit the ski slopes!

Came here Saturday to ski with family. Always crowded but it is one of the easiest mountain (for beginners) and closest to nyc. Lift tickets get pricer and pricer each year for all mountains unless you buy a season pass. Better to have your own equipment than wait on the long rentals lines.

2.5 hours from New York, Hunter Mountain was perfect for a day ski trip. I gathered my friends and we left NYC at 8am for our trek there. We pre purchased our tickets online and our ski passes were mailed to us. Once we got there getting our equipment was quick and easy. The staff were very kind and helpful, there were free granola bars upon check in. I do have one complaint that was shared by my friends and I, their ski boots are extremely uncomfortable. I got my usual size 8 and she got size 7, both sizes were extremely tight around the shins. The skis themselves were great and I had a fun time whizzing down the mountain with them. Ski poles were a free for all and they did not look well maintained. I had to find matching ones because it was a hot mess pile of random heights. Bunny hill isn't so bad except the line for the magic lift is awful, there were entitled people who would fit in front of you with no remorse. The green slopes were decent, I got a few practice runs in. Bathrooms were nasty and did not look like anyone cleaned them. Overall, my experience was alright and I think I would rather go to Poconos for my next ski trip instead.

If you ask anyone in the east coast where is a good place to carve it up they'll tell you this spot is a good spot to go. About 2-3 hrs away from North Jersey,, depending on the traffic of course. It's not such a bad drive specially if your have someone to switch with. Anyways, let's talk about the resort. It's definitely sizable,, the runs are pretty and lengthy. Enough runs and variety to entertain us for the whole day. Green to blue to diamonds to double diamons,, there's definitely enough variety for a days worth of shredding. We also came with beginners and their bunny hills are pretty good as well. They said that the rentals and the process for getting all that done was really pleasant. Plus their instructors were really nice. Their bar and food area is really large too. Enough to accommodate everybody who came out for the day. Luckily, we came on a weekday, which means not a lot of kids or weekenders. That only means, less people and more carving for us. Anyways, I enjoyed our visit here at Hunter Mountain. It definitely was very pleasant and I would come back again if given the chance. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

Nice mountain.

Since the Blizzacolypse* (or whatever the hell we're calling this thing) is headed our way tonight, it only seems fitting to review a place that only improves in such conditions. Hunter Mountain was the ideal spot to end my decade-long, self-imposed exile from the world of snowboarding. However, that was mostly because it was only a 20 minute drive from where I was staying. The Good. -The most efficient of systems for check-in/rentals. Seriously impressive. -I think this is the only instance when the question, "Do you know that you're goofy?" is inoffensive. The Bad. -I haven't encountered this many sullen teenagers since I was a sullen teenager. -Most of the food in the lodges is pretty awful. I'll never eat your ramen, Hunter. -The trails and fresh snow are both a bit limited, although it's tough to blame that on anything but the region we're in. The Ugly. -The awful stench of used snowboard boots. -The inhuman aches and pains that I now get because I'm an old man. _____________ *http://gothamist.com/attachments/nyc_arts_john/bdbgot2.jpg

Great driving distance place to go for snowboarding/skiing if you live in NYC. It takes approx. 2 hrs of driving +/- traffic. I like this mountain because the trails are more advanced compared to ones found at Blue Mountain, Camelback, and Windham. You can get a good run out of the Black and Double Black Diamonds. The Belt Parkway trail is good when you are still learning and want to improve for higher level trails because the trail is long, has good degree of ups and downs, some curves, and there are some places where you can pick up some speed to conquer your fears of wiping out. The only problem with the Belt Parkway is that it can get somehow crowded and you have to become aware and slow down for safety purposes. Overall, this is a great place to go if you are not planning on going to the "Awesome" places in Vermont.

I like Hunter, but I prefer Belleayre. It my opinion, the trails are every bit as good at Belleayre and you will have far less people. The lines still aren't too bad though! Hunter is very easy to get to, just a few hours up the Thruway from NYC. There's a good selection of Greens and Blues for the beginners/novices to work, and the trails aren't too crowded. I did a private lesson when I went to Hunter a few weeks ago and it was excellent. I gentleman I was paired up with had been teaching for over 20 years. He was incredibly helpful and gave me more confidence to continue learning on my own.

Skiing ain't really my thang, but rolling green meadows, fresh air and live music most certainly are. Because of that, find me at Hunter Mt during the summer months and not, I repeat not when it's frigid outside. If my friends drag me there during ski season I'll be the gal in the lodge with her face in a spiked hot cocoa. Anyhow, I've come up to Hunter a few times over the years for their annual Mountain Jam festival. Most recently, I went this past week and had myself quite the time. I've been to a bunch of fests and Mountain Jam is probably one of the best, and a large part of that is due to the atmosphere. There's nothing better then laying out a blanket on the hill and relaxing while singing along to music and sipping on a cold brew. When you look in front of you, you'll see the large main stage. Because you're on an incline the view is always great. Look behind you and you'll see massive pine tree coated mountains, ski lifts, blue skies and sunshine. This makes for an incredible fest experience. I'll heed you one warning, brace yourself for some cold temps at night! It normally drops below 40 degrees. Because the festival involves camping and early June nights are notorious for being cold in the region, I think that this fest should be moved to July or August, and I'm sure many would agree. Regardless of a change in date, I'm sure I'll be making an appearance at Mountain Jam time and time again.

Very cool distillery and restaurant in the Hudson Valley. I can't really speak to the service…read morebecause I was there with a large group of college alumni (nearly one hundred folks). But the food was so well prepared that it should be recognized. We started with a very tasty pork belly bao with hoisin sauce. Their house salad was a very well presented and interesting salad. But they knocked it out of the park with their entrees: roasted branzino with asparagus in a beurre blanc sauce and a strip steak served on a bed of caramelized onions and mushrooms in a bordelaise sauce. In particular, the steak, ordered medium rare, came out tender and perfectly cooked, and was of very high quality. Finally the sticky toffee pudding cake was served warm and was delicious. I would highly recommend the food here. Kudos to the chef!

Title: Exceptional Tour and Truly World-Class Spirits…read more My visit to the Hudson House Distillery was an outstanding experience, elevated by a personal tour with the founder, Charles. The location itself is breathtaking, set in a beautifully restored historic mansion right on the Hudson River. However, the real highlight was getting a behind-the-scenes look at their distillation process. Charles was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate as he walked us through their production of rye, bourbon, gin, and vodka. A must-try is their vodka, which Charles proudly explained is distilled a remarkable 12 times. I can confidently say it is the best vodka I have ever sampled--exceptionally smooth. I was also impressed by their other spirits: Northwest Passage Gin: This gin stands out because it uses naturally soft water sourced directly from their artesian wells. Black Creek Bourbon: I was fortunate enough to sample a limited Founder's Batch of this bourbon. It is truly hand-crafted, made using limestone-softened natural artesian well water. The depth of care and quality put into every bottle is evident, and the personal details shared by the founder made the spirits taste even better. If you have the chance, I highly recommend asking for the tour--it provides an incredible appreciation for the craftsmanship at Hudson House Distillery.

Deb and Steve were so welcoming and helpful in answering all of our questions, and their property is absolutely gorgeous. You can see the years of love and care that have gone into maintaining their house and its surrounding land over generations. One of their adorable cats even hopped along with us on our tour! While we ended up going with a different event space, closer to our ceremony site, I would recommend Stonehouse Gardens to anyone looking for a unique and rustic place to host an event, particularly if you are looking to be in the natural beauty of the outdoors. There were so many areas of the property that would have been lovely for photos, it would have been almost impossible to choose!
