I haven’t heard any plans, but what I think they should do is put the bar in the upstairs third floor area that is underutilized. That bar sucks being in the middle of a big room with screaming kids running around.

For everyone. You’d be able to continue on say Algonquin right on down to the bottom without the lot in the way. Demolishing the lodge has been talked about since the Tony days but who knows if it would ever happen. They’d have to expand parking elsewhere. Pretty sure it was longer ago than...

Fires are dangerous.

It used to be here but the link doesn’t work anymore: https://orda.org/belleayre-draft-2022-umpa/ Public comment closed in August. I do have a copy of it, it’s about 70 megs. Perhaps Harvey would want to host it somewhere so people can see it?

The original plan was fixed grip/no mid station. I campaigned for the mid station so they wouldn’t wreck goat path / utsy in order to make a “blue square” cutoff for intermediates to get down. It sounds like they’re still going to wreck those trails to give the gapers another way down off the...

A bridge is in the plan. They already did soil samples. I haven’t heard if that would be for this coming season but I doubt it. That will be a huge project and a large bridge!

Looks like today is the last day for Lift 7 as they are doing a rope evac. Lift 6 also closed, not enough snow to get to it. Looks like it will be Lift 8 and the box for tomorrow. The latest on the new lift 7 is it will be a fixed grip with a mid station and loading fairly far down below...

Guessing for the weekend they will base operations out of the lower lodge and it will be uploading and downloading on the gondola for runs on lifts 8 and 7.

As with most things in life, speed and confidence. It also helped that the patches were smaller in the morning and I kept skiing them as they got larger and larger. Those skis hadn’t been waxed in awhile and the wet dirt and grass wasn’t a whole lot slower if any than the snow. The skis...

Happy Easter

Groomers are getting nice now but woods are a no go. March sun is strong.

Yep firm and fast is the theme of the day and I don’t think it’s going to get better. I don’t think it was significant rain but it was warm all day yesterday and it’s still 24* at the top of the gondola.

Closing day 2017 at Belleayre

For sure. It doesn’t always snow when we want it to in the winter but spring always comes.

There have been some great responses in this thread. I’ll reiterate that carrying some speed and carving through the soft stuff is much easier than trying to push it around.

That must have been in the DEC days. Belleayre has been dog friendly since ORDA took over. The new GM has it in his contract that he can bring his dogs to work and he does. We bring our pups spring skiing sometimes, particularly when a tailgate party is planned. They stay hanging out with...

The shuttle is actually still running, it’s just on a reduced schedule. There are I think two runs in the morning and two later in the day. The shuttle is definitely catering to the J1 visa crew. I was on it early Friday morning, 7:12 pickup at Crowne Plaza and it filled up with them to...

Doesn’t suck too bad today.

Gold status again today.
