Uphill Travel Policy: Posted: 12/31/15
ALL UPHILL TRAVEL IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
ACCESS TO THE MOUNTAIN IS PERMITTED THREE (3) HOURS PRIOR TO OPERATING HOURS.
Hunter Mountain Ski Bowl, Inc. allows uphill access via skinning and snowshoeing during the winter operating season two hours prior to operating hours. For the safety of everyone on the mountain, anyone participating in these activities must adhere to the following guidelines:
You must sign in at the "Up-Hill Use Station at the Kaaterskill Lift Sign at the bottom of the Kaaterskill Flyer. If you intend to ride a lift at any point during the morning of your trip, you must purchase an Uphill Access day ticket for $20, available at the Skier Services Desk at the Main Ticket window.
The routes of uphill travel to the Summit are from Mossy Brook to Off Broadway to East Side Drive. The Battery to Belt Parkway. Paste link to Up-Hill trail map Stay to the side of the trail and constantly be aware of what is happening around you.
If you descend prior to operating hours, you must travel down along the same route you traveled up.
All trails and terrain parks are closed outside of operational hours, with the exception of the authorized uphill routes two hours prior to opening.
You must be visible to all traffic at all times, and you should know and follow ‘Your Responsibility Code’ at all times.
No dogs are allowed on the mountain, Please see HMSB Dog Policy.
Overnight stays on the mountain are not permitted.
Ski Patrol reserves the right to close the mountain at any time. If the mountain is closed to uphill traffic, a sign will be placed at the base of each authorized uphill route.
NO SLEDDING ON ANY PART OF HUNTER MOUNTAIN SKI BOWL, INC. AT ANY TIME.
The mountain is closed and cleared of all guests and staff at the end of each operating day.
If you access the mountain prior to operating hours, you do so at your own risk. Conditions may be variable, due to weather, ungroomed surfaces and limited visibility. Uphill users are warned that snowmobiles, snowmaking, snow grooming, winch cables and other equipment may be encountered at any time and that you are responsible to stay clear of such equipment. Use extra caution and always remain aware of what is happening around you.
Bright Clothing, Reflective Materials & Headlamps: It is strongly recommended that all uphill users wear brightly-colored clothing and have reflective material on clothing, poles or packs to heighten visibility. Flashing lights, such as those commonly used by bicycle riders, make it easy for other users and ski area personnel to see you. Use extra caution if you are descending in the dark or in low light conditions.
Uphill Travel Routes: Be aware of other skiers, riders and vehicles approaching you. Stay to the side of the authorized uphill routes and avoid spots where you may not be visible. When descending, please be aware and considerate of other users and ski area personnel.
Winch Cat Operations: Avoid all grooming operations and especially winch cats. The cable between the anchor and the cat can be difficult to see and may be under the snow. These cables can stretch for thousands of feet and can move very quickly.
Rescue Response: Be aware that there are no patrol services outside of operating hours, and ski area buildings are closed. In case of emergency, call 911 and know that response times could be extended. Be aware that mobile phone service can be unreliable on the mountain.

Hunter is holding up pretty well. East side melting fast. Claire's has a small bare patch.
