Hunter, NY – Coming off a successful first season of operation, New York Zipline Adventures at Hunter Mountain is poised to raise the bar for adventure tours this winter with the opening of the largest zipline course in North America. Over 12,000 guests at the ski and snowboard resort in New York State’s Catskill Mountains have completed two of the three planned courses opened at the Hunter Mountain location this spring while the third and largest, the Skyrider Tour, completed construction and will open in December.n”The Mid Mountain Tour and Adventure Tower are both great introductions to ziplining and ropes courses, and a good way to get some people ready for the upcoming Skyrider Tour,” explains Bradd Morse, partner in New York Zipline Adventures. “The three courses here at Hunter Mountain contain multiple ziplines, bridges and challenge elements and are each designed to create a very different experience for the guest, but the Skyrider tour is not for everyone. Honestly, the Mid Mountain Tour and Adventure Tower are plenty of excitement for most people.”

With heights of up to 600 feet above the ground and some ziplines spanning over 3,000 feet from platform to platform, he’s not kidding. The Skyrider course will be one of the largest and most intimidating tours of its kind in the world.

“The construction of a course on this scale has been a massive undertaking, but now with our three different tours, we’ll be able to offer something for almost every thrill level – from mild to extremely wild,” Morse adds. “The fact that we are so close to the metro (New York) area also means that we are able to operate year round. It’s a great partnership and we are really excited to bring this world class attraction to New York.”
