Perfect if
- You want a quick-strike Catskills day with everything from steeps to cruisers.
- You would rather skip the Thruway and just show up and ride.
- You want a lively mountain with a solid apres scene.
Swap the concrete for the legendary peaks of the Northern Catskills, where the powerhouse snow guns rule the valleys and the crisp mountain air carries the scent of base-lodge brews.
Forget the hassle of booking a rental or white-knuckling it up the New York State Thruway. We’ve got the ultimate shortcut to Hunter Mountain. Settle into your seat at one of our convenient city pickups before dawn, and watch the skyline fade into mountain peaks. You’ll arrive with plenty of time to tackle everything from the steep, high-stakes face of West Hunter to the sweeping, open cruisers of the main mountain. As a local hotspot, the terrain is diverse, the energy is electric, and the après-ski scene is always rocking. Once the lifts stop spinning, your only job is to kick back on our warm coach, crack a complimentary drink, and relax while we navigate the weekend traffic back to the city.
You’ll drop back into NYC by nightfall with your legs thoroughly spent and your mind cleared. You’re heading home with maximum vertical logged, a fresh network of local riding partners, and the ultimate quick-strike mountain fix without ever touching a steering wheel.

The OvRride Bus
We’ve dialed in the ultimate “Dawn Patrol” routes to get you out of the city sprawl and into the mountains while the corduroy is still fresh. We’re built for speed, but all pickup times are subject to the whims of mountain weather and winter traffic – so stay flexible and we’ll handle the heavy lifting.
Riding with OvR isn’t a commute; it’s a shred mission on wheels. Leave the snowy drives and parking hunts to us while you kick back in a high-comfort, high-energy cabin. We keep the stoke high with the heater cranked and free après drinks waiting for you once the lifts stop spinning.
Looking for the inside line? We’re famous for dropping exclusive goodies and freebies on select trips. Get locked in, stay sharp, and keep a close eye on our newsletter and socials for the next round of announcements.
