I'm sure this is true to some extent, but it seems to me also the case that w/r/t skiers in the NYC metro they are jointly in competition with VT (and with places in PA and the Catskills, insofar as part of the challenge is convincing people to drive more than 2.5 hours). I'm sure this has...

For the benefit of anyone finding this thread in the future - thumbs up to Belleayre for blue mogul terrain. Today the whole length of Belle Run had one side groomed and one side bumped up, so you could dip in and out. They had also left the hill on Wanatuska below Howe's Highway ungroomed, and...

Do lifts 7 and 8 reliably run on late-season weekends? Forecast for Saturday morning is looking like last gasp of wintry temps for upper mountain, I'm not so excited about mushy snow below mid-mountain though

Open Snow says it'll likely rain through the morning into early afternoon, take a break in the afternoon, then rain some more in evening. Should be done by 9 or 10 pm Saturday with maybe a little wintry mix to follow overnight. Goes below freezing around 2 am Sunday, high winds continue into...

Does anyone have thoughts on what it'll be like for Sunday - will they be able to groom overnight once tomorrow's rain lets up and temps drop?

It's cool to see they've got 46er open today. Only been to the ski bowl once, is it common for Hudson to be closed when 46er is open?

Looks like yes. Per Facebook, they had spring rally that day, closed midweek with hopes to re-open the following weekend, then announced they were closed for the season a few days later.

I actually read this recently after coming across it in a different thread on this forum - very helpful. I did take a stupid fall the other day and I'm not sure I was able to put this advice into effect... no injury, fortunately, and practice for the next time, I guess.

Thanks. Unfortunately I can't make it next couple days... wife and I have childcare in place to get a last run to the Catskills on Sunday, but given the forecast for Saturday not sure if we're gonna go.

Mountain Creek most often as it's closest, but if there are bumps there I haven't found them. We get around a lot. Over the two seasons have skiied 1-3 days at each of Plattekill, Belle, Hunter, Windham, Gore, Mount Snow, Sugarbush, Okemo, Bromley, Elk, though some of those were at an earlier...

I'm even more of a novice, having skiied a total of 3 days at ORDA facilities (two at Gore, one at Belleayre). But fwiw I would def agree that the current quality of operations at Belleayre counts as an ORDA win. Personally I didn't love the relative lack of terrain variety and with all that...

Hey all - So I am mid-40s, just started skiing regularly last couple seasons, am loving it and looking to continue developing skills while not tearing an ACL. In particular I would love to learn how to ski moguls (and possibly progress to trees, we'll see). However the places we've skiied tend...

I actually went yesterday - morning was quite firm on the upper mountain, it softened up very nicely from about 10-1045, then from 11 on it was pretty much spring conditions everywhere that was open. (Very challenging for me as an inexperienced spring skiier.) Overlook and Rip's Return were...

Anyone got a feel for what conditions will be like tomorrow? I cleared my schedule to run up to the Catskills for one more day and it's gotta be tomorrow, after what'll prob be a bit of rain/possibly wet snow overnight. Have been to Belleayre this year but haven't been to Hunter (or Windham) -...

Open Snow is currently saying mostly wintry mix with sustained winds 35-40 and gusts 75-80

Interesting to see the discussion here re: North Quad and kids, that was not particularly my observation of who was skiing there on our visit though we made sure to bring our daughter (12yo and advanced beginner in terms of technique) over to Tawahus, and she really liked it. We did definitely...

Gotcha. Yeah, if it's closed regularly that seems like a connectivity problem. With conditions as firm as they were this weekend Pipeline/Eagle's Nest/Hedges (after the bump at the start) were all no big deal, but when soft they are prob rough. And from what I had read about Cedar's Traverse we...

Question from a Gore/skiblog newbie: How often is Echo closed for racing, and if it's often, is there any prospect of another connection between BR and Northwoods? Visited Gore for first time this past weekend, skiied Northwoods/North Quad on Saturday then parked at Ski Bowl on Sunday a stone's...

Yup, the social thing is big. We did Elk over MLK weekend with another family where they each had a friend of the same age and similar enough ability and it worked out great. Unfortunately my 12yo does not love ski school, but she also often does not want to ski all day like her parents, which...

thanks! Kids are 12 and (about to be) 8, they are learning but not remotely as obsessed as me. We have been to Elk and Bromley this season as a family, wife and I hit all the Catskills mountains over a couple of weekend getaways this year and last. Christmas trips to Vt (Mt Snow and Sugarbush)...
