    Belleayre Conditions

    Didn’t get out to Belle’ today heading to Jiminy instead for some night skiing. Got a little bored working last night so checked websites for open terrain at most of the major resorts in the east. Belleayre Killington and Pico the only 3 close to 100%. Sugarbush around 75%. Okemo around 50%...

    Belleayre Conditions

    I am probably the exception to this. Have Gore set in my favorites and bought the pass thru that website. They link easy enough to the other mountains. I live 75 minutes from Belleayre so they get way more visits than Gore (+2.5 hours for me).

    Belleayre Conditions

    How do they determine this, some combination of location and number of visits? I don't recall checking any kind of question about it when I got the pass.

    Is that Belleayre only passes or do they also factor in full Ski 3 passes?

    Belleayre Conditions

    Day 15 @ Belleayre (21 overall). You would never know they had a major rain event 3 days ago. Didn’t hit a single icy spot all day. Lapped Seneca all morning and a bit of Dot while the other side of the mountain was covered in a man made blizzard. Guns blasting from Algonquin all the way...

    F Vail

    I guess my point is paid parking was always going to be the first and most obvious up charge. Traffic and standing in lift lines all day would be my biggest gripes and the reasons that would send me elsewhere.

    F Vail

    For all the complaining about Vail this makes the least amount of sense to me. Why is paying for parking such a deal breaker for these people if it is still cheaper overall than it used to be when a single pass was north of $2,000?

    Winter Weather 22/23

    My question is what is the expected end result of the next few days? Are we expecting to lose a significant amount of currently open terrain? Or are we looking at more typical northeast conditions on most of what is currently open?

    Quality Gloves for Skiing

    They have 2 interchangeable liners. It’s an easy Velcro tab and they do not slip out which was my main concern. They also make a lighter spring skiing glove which I also have, and sounds like could be the one for you.

    Quality Gloves for Skiing

    Huge Free the Powder fan. Very high quality, not stiff at all like I found the Kinco’s to be, easy to change out a warmer insert. Hestra is probably the gold standard, but can pick up 2 pairs of these for the same price. Went with strictly gloves last year, switched over to the mittens for...

    Belleayre Conditions

    Agreed conditions were outstanding. Pretty good crowd for a Monday, all the college kids are home for break and decided to ski today. Onteora from the top seemed like it was barely touched all day.

    Belleayre Conditions

    No need to wait around for me. I couldn’t even finish that run. Somehow landed on my back, head buried, and feet pointing to the top. Hopefully no youngsters were on the lift to hear some choice words. Pulled myself out and walked over to Area 51 to finish the run!

    Belleayre Conditions

    I was there. Introduced myself to TheGreatAbyss in the Gondi line. Only in my second full season of skiing so I don’t typically see these conditions. WAY more work than midweek opening bell groomers that I’m used to.

    Belleayre Conditions

    I had first tracks down Dot this morning. One full trail ice spot about 20 yards long across the bottom of the first drop (is that considered the head wall?) but the rest of it was silky smooth. Had 3 great runs and it was closed by the time I got there for my 4th.

    Belleayre Conditions

    Was there Monday and they piled up whales top to bottom on Dot, Algonquin and Peekamoose. They already had a strong base on those well. Seneca was heading that way as well but a pipe burst, keeping them from doing the same.

    Belleayre Conditions

    Skied mornings both Sunday and today. I thought everything open was in very good condition Sunday morning. They were still blowing snow on many open trails thru the moring. Lower Belleayre not quite covered edge to edge, but pretty close, much more so than Dot. Today, Dot Peekamoose and...

    Gore Mid-week Lifts Question

    I am mostly a midweek skier as well since I work nightshift. Skied at least half a dozen times midweek last year. Mostly Thur/Fri but I am sure I had a Tues or Wed in there as well. Thur/Fri Burnt Ridge and Top Ridge were always open. High Peaks Quad and North Quad seemed to be the ones that...
