Hunter Mountain is known as ‘The Snowmaking Capital of the Word’ and they mean it. They pump over 500 million gallons of water to make sure their slopes are covered. Hunter has the highest vertical drop in the Catskills and is the closest large ski area to New York City. Dependable snow and a wide variety of terrain, a great combination.
When your day of skiing is done, relax at The Sedgwick House. We are located only a short walk from the main entrance to Hunter Mountan
