I'd say a huge factor in how crowded it is will be whether Hunter is open yet. With an Epic Pass I am only hitting Belleayre Friday as the closest Epic option is in VT. Hoping to get there at open Fri to beat the crowds.

Hoping they get folks up early enough to groom after the freeze. Think they will? Fortunately really not all that much to groom. One top to bottom run and two upper runs. Should be able to get that done before a 9am open.

That would be a bit more useful with temperatures Edit: Thanks for new image!

Got Fri tix for me and my teens. They will be open top to bottom Psyched!

Got Lower Deer Run opening Fri so they will be top to bottom

Nice to see all that snow blowing and on the ground on the cams and even a with some natural to fall this eve. Hope any rain does not wash it away and hoping to ski Friday. Plan B is pay for 3 of us to ski Belleayre.

For a private business it would be irrational to price based on costs. You price to maximize revenue. Find the optimal place on the curve where the # of sales you lose by raising the price makes it less profitable to raise the price. Admittedly a govt run operation may not price to maximize profit.

Deer Run, Seneca, Peekamoose

Yes no doubt their goal was to screw the people that make their business profitable. Pretty sure weekends, holidays and powder days are the only days non-destination ski areas with no night skiing make a profit

Will make for much better conditions if they open tomorrow. Try the glass half full thing some time maybe

Hoping they open tomorrow and glad that - if they are going to do so - they are not announcing it well in advance. That would lead to more crowds. If they announce it tonight we will be there tomorrow. And if they do not, I am still glad for those who got to enjoy it yesterday or today.

Skied worse conditions there closing weekend in April - though more was open

Nice! Wonder what the odds are of skiing next weekend? They were selling tix for the 18th last I checked.

My guess is there are more ski days as there are more pass holders and if you have a pass you ski more, as an additional ski day makes for better pass value rather than additional lift ticket expense. I doubt there are more skiers.

Definitely prefer the run outs to runs with 400' of vertical. And wish they would make snow over the road and lot let all the runs have distinct run outs down to Discovery. Keep Overlook as a ski to spot for folks who love it if there is demand.

First time I was ever at Discovery lodge was my most recent visit as the last time I was there was pre-gondola. I was struck by how nice the new lodge was compared to Overlook at least. Bright, clean and spacious with a nice outdoor seating area and restrooms that dont require navigating stairs...

I prioritizing continuous ski runs over old bars. But the idea of a bridge over the parking lot could work too.

Wow I see zero advantage to making folks circle around Overlook lodge at the end of each run, and then make the lift ride longer (and the project more expensive). Do the folks who plan these things out ever actually ski the place? A better project for Belleayre: remove the Overlook lodge and...

Tha KS- no surprise except would have figured the might go to Sunday
