Tuesday, December 15, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

December 15, 1964
Tuesday, 10-17, windy, cold and cloudy with light snow flurries.  David started work at Hunter Ski center.  Clifton and I went to Cobleskill shopping.  I washed in am and took salad to parsonage.  Girls and I went to shower for Roberta at Celia Stryker's.

Hunter Mountain, Twilight (1866) by Hudson River school
 artist Sanford Robinson Gifford, showing lands
where timber resources had been harvested.


Hunter Mountain is in the towns of Hunter and Lexington, just south of the village of Hunter, in Greene CountyNew YorkUSA. At approximately 4,040 feet (1,231 m) in elevation, it is the highest peak in the county and the second-highest peak in the Catskill Mountains.
While the mountain is closely associated with the highly popular eponymous ski area built around the Colonel's Chair ridge at the mountain's northwest corner, that takes up only a small portion of the mountain. The actual summit, some distance from the ski area, is graced with a fire lookout tower, the highest in the state and second-highest in the Northeast. The former road to it is open to hikershorses (and possibly mountain bikers in the future). It is the most popular route to the mountain's summit.

From Sister Sue: David working in Hunter – probably making snow, or on the “chair” – cold, cold, cold – and their feet froze standing around in the snow, - and making snow at night. Susan
