    Belleayre Conditions

    Interesting day on the mountain today. Obviously it was warm, spring like conditions. It probably got up to high 40s / low 50s at one point. Then it rained hard around 3:30. The snow was soft and forgiving pretty much everywhere. Thin in a few spots but it will probably be ok next week with the...

    Belleayre Conditions

    I have to say the updated mountain layout seems really good at keep crowds dispersed on the upper mountain. I happily divide my time across the express and the two quads. Goat Path opens up the middle-right part of the mountain, whereas previously your only choice was Yahoo as Utsayantha was...

    Belleayre Conditions

    Had a rollicking time at Belle today. Lots of good snow and natural conditions all over the mountain. Light flurries most of the day. The bumps on Yahoo, Tongora and Winnisook were quite nice. Enjoyed hitting Lift Line, Big T and Bellayre glades —a few thin spots but otherwise very manageable...

    Belleayre Conditions

    I agree. Today was our best day of the season. Lots of soft manmade snow, fun whales and blue skies. Everything in the middle of the mountain around Lift 7 skied well. We lapped Goat Path to Lower Yahoo repeatedly. Onteora was excellent too. Avoided the gondola completely and never waited more...

    Belleayre Conditions

    We had a great day on Sunday too. Agree that Goat Path was really fun (though crowded). We found soft bumps on Peekamoose as well. There were a lot of families learning to ski on the lower mountain, so the gondola was crowded, but we never waited for Overlook and Hawk. Very impressed with...

    Winter Weather 2023/24

    Gentlemen, get your eight balls out: What do you think are the odds that there will be decent enough conditions on Sunday in the Catskills?

    Belleayre Conditions

    Had my first runs at Belle of the season today. There was light snow in the morning and blue skies in the afternoon. Everything skied decent though conditions were hard and fast … a big ice patch on Yahoo was claiming a lot of victims. They dropped the ropes on Tongora at the end of the day...

    Belleayre Conditions

    Today exceeded my (low) expectations. Agree the west side of the mountain was nicer, but also had fun finding patches of reasonably soft snow in Cathedral Brook, Belleayre Run (bumps and side trees), and lower Lift Line glade. I’m impressed by the coverage at Belleayre and think they’ll be able...

    Belleayre Conditions

    Today was fun once the snow softened around 11-12. We skied all afternoon until the last lift. There were lots of soft bumps all over the mountain. But as others have said, the side country was no bueno. We never waited in line more than a few minutes — and we were a large group. I think...

    Belleayre Conditions

    I was at Belleayre today. Cover was mostly good. The snow was crusty and skied fast, but very edgeable. We just stuck to groomers - Dot and Algonquin were the standouts. The moguls were groomed over on Belleayre Run; Winnisook still had big bumps but they weren’t very pleasant given the crust...

    Belleayre Conditions

    It was great meeting you and your family as well! Seems there were a bunch of us on the mountain today … wish I could have joined you and Gski on Tongora. This was probably our best day at Belle this season. We were the first ones in Belleayre Express this morning and the last ones on Lift 7...
