Today at Hunter Mountain, we surprised guests by opening the Otis Quad and associated terrain at Hunter East with a banner break to celebrate the last major milestone being open as part of our Epic Lift Upgrades, designed to elevate the skiing and riding experience this winter season.
Otis Quad: The existing 4-person fixed-grip Broadway Lift replaced the 2-person fixed-grip E lift, increasing uphill capacity and ensuring guests have more time to learn new skills and explore the terrain.
Broadway Express: Opened on Dec. 1st, this new high-speed, 6-person chair replaced the existing 4-person fixed-grip Broadway Lift and reduces wait times at one of the mountain’s most popular lifts while increasing uphill capacity by 55%, making it even easier for guests to access the terrain they love.
Together, these enhancements are a pivotal move that aligns with our commitment to providing a progressive learning experience for our visitors of all ski and ride levels, from beginners to seasoned pros. Our summer snowmaking upgrades also have been a game-changer, allowing our snow teams to crank out incredible coverage across the slopes this season. With over 54% of our terrain open currently, close to 218 skiable acres, there’s plenty of space for guests to carve out some unforgettable memories.
