Late 2016: Peak Resorts buys Hunter Mountain for $36.8 Million and expands with a $9 Million budget to cut several new trails on the west side in addition to updated lift and snow blowing equipment.

While there were no deaths at Hunter Mountain last year(2018), two skiers were killed on the mountain in 2017, according to the Daily Freeman, a Kingston newspaper. Hunter Mountain is owned by Peak Resorts, a Missouri-based ski resort company. The number of deaths highlights a safety issue at the resort.
