Premier Ski Resort

Claiming to have the best ski conditions in the North East, Hunt Hollow features 400 acres of skiing with 80 trails. The resort features state of the art snow-making abilities and they report there are no lift lines or ones that are very short and very bearable. There is an 825-foot vertical drop and more than two miles of cross-country trails. Three chair lifts mean there are three ways to reach the top of the mountain. You can go by T-Bar, triple chair, or surface lift. There is a terrain park, and a mogul trail, adding to the excitement.

The resort was opened in 1967 by Dr. Lovejoy, a skiing enthusiast. He created a private ski club and by June of that year it had 280 members. In 1968, the resort was up and running. Throughout the years, trails were added including Big Dipper, Ragged Edge, and Cascade. In 1985 the Race Center was constructed, and in 1993 Wayne's Way and Bumps Trail were added. The Ski Patrol building was constructed in 1999 and in 2002 and 2003 the resort underwent a million dollar snowmaking expansion.

Parties at Hunt Hollow are a great chance to get together with friends and hit the slopes. The club house features various venues for casual parties and business events.
