For those of you who are jonesing to go skiing and snowboarding this season, but don't have access to a car, fear not. There are several companies that offer bus, lift-ticket, rental, and lesson combintaions for a great price. Hunter Mountain isn't Vail or Whistler, but it'll cure those powder blues if you need a fix.
Blades Board and Skate offers a trip to Hunter Mtn every Saturday and Sunday leaving at 6:30 and 7:00 am, depending on the pick up place. Prices start at $69.95 for round trip bus, lift-ticket, bagel breakfast, and kick ass movies. Reservations can be made online at http://www.bladesnyc.com/.
There are two pick up locations in front of their stores, one at 659 Broadway, near Bleeker St (map http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?addr=659+Broadway&csz=New+York+NY+10012&country=US&tarname=), and the other at 156 W. 72nd st, between Columbus and Amsterdam Aves (maphttp://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?addr=156+West+72nd+Street&csz=New+York+NY+10023&country=US&tarname= )
