New Hunter Glades on West... naming contest and news

I heard about it about five minutes before the contest closed, didn't even get to fire off a suggestion. I thought we could take some of our own here.

The real question is, where are they cutting? My hope is off Purna, but I bet they are cutting somewhere else, unfortunately.

Anyone have a good suggestion after the fact?

Can't believe I didn't come across this somehow.

me too, what kind of contest only goes for an hour, totally unannounced?

Looks like it was up on Facebook for about 3 hours.  I guess when you have 25000 fans that's all it takes.

A cool thing about Hunter is... We DON'T NAME OUR GLADES!!!  

They are just sections of woods we ski...  

At Gore new glades are named by a noted local.

I hear that. I just hope we get enough snow this year to venture off trail - don't think I did any exploring in your part of the catskills last season. It'd be great to turn the page!
