HUNTER, NY (February 7, 2000)-Hold a pass to another mountain but have a hankering to experience the deepest base in the East at Hunter? Anyone presenting a current season pass from any ski resort receives one complimentary all day adult lift ticket on any Thursday for the remainder of this season. If a weekend best suits your schedule then you may receive this offer during Season Pass Weekend, April 8-9. This one time offer is limited to one ticket per passholder and may be redeemed at the Guest Services Office located in the Hunter Ticket Center.

"We've got a wonderful mountain for advanced skiers, and this season we've been blessed with the best snow conditions in recent memory. Sharing our good fortune with passholders of other mountains is the perfect opportunity to show off Hunter's attributes. This program is also another way of proving our snowmaking superiority to the skiing public," declares Orville Slutzky, General Manager.

Hunter Mountain also has boosted the value of frequent skiing and riding here with a special offer of free lift tickets from April 1 through the end of the season for all Hunter Frequent Skier/Rider Cardholders.
