We, the long term skiers and mid-week/season ticket holders of Hunter Mountain are requesting the mountain to run the D lift during the week. This would provide us the opportunity to ski a variety of trails without going to the top. We would have access to Drop off, Lower Racers, Ike and Gun Hill along with the trails that provide us with the B Lift. This is the sunny side of the mountain and much more enjoyable. High winds at the top make it very dangerous with blown away snow and icy conditions. High winds also trigger the sensors causing the lifts to stop and make for a very uncomfortable ride.
We recognize that running the D lift every day would not be economically sound. However, we do ask that you consider running the D Lift on high volume days such as Wednesdays and Fridays.
D lift services wonderful terrain. if necessary conserve by stopping redundant F allowing some of us to skip the upper slopes or use the flyer for the top. it's safer and friendlier.
