This year's Mountain Jam Festival will feature an expanded yoga program as well as a new outdoor acoustic stage. Craft beer and premium wines will once again be featured at the Empire State Tap House, which will play host to artists on the Indoor Stage.
Home to Mountain Jam for all of its fourteen years, Hunter Mountain is a world-class ski resort that offers many amenities. The Lodge provides fans with 24-hour access to indoor bathrooms, a large, full service bar, and food services.
