Yes good day today. I thought the crowds were pretty light for holiday week. Yesterday was busier. Great weather today. Lower Cathedral snowmaking is new this year. It opened for the first time yesterday with snowmaking with a soft gun powder surface. Today it firmed up pretty good.

Absolutely. And the demand is mostly from people migrating north because it’s only an hour and a half/2 from the city. With the flexible WFH options they are spending less or no time in the city and more time north. Same thing happened after 9/11, this is similar. I don’t know about inflation...

Yep…city folk buying stuff up left and right. And they’re driving the prices up…. My small town, town of Rochester, median home sale price is now $567,000, before the pandemic it was $305,000. Kerhonkson is now “Kerhamptons”

Although there are many more midweek visits compared to pre Covid to factor in as well.

Right. With sellouts, COVID drove even more people to buy passes on top of the cheap pass / expensive day ticket model that was already encouraging more season pass sales. The crowd has really been quite manageable. I suspect skier visits are down compared to some previous years but revenue per...

Agreed. Way better than expected. Right behind the lodge where there has been no snow made had the same or more snow than Thursday. On Thursday the troughs had rocks but I didn’t find any today. I’m going to say the storm ended up net neutral for Belleayre. The back end had enough snow to keep...

Day 11 at the Belle today. Did not expect to ski today but work closed early and I had my stuff so went up. Started snowing around 1 and continued through the afternoon. Trees still good as were the bump runs I lapped: Mohawk, Belleayre run, right side of Wanatuska, and winnisook all still...

No it’s not, shush!!!!

Absolutely fantastic weekend. Going to go down as one of the best of the year. Three straight days of soft turns, my legs are fried! Was very happy with how the mountain aggressively dropped ropes on natural snow trails and glades as well. Speaking of Utsy, we had skied that later on Friday...

Absolutely fantastic day today, skied 8:30-2:30 straight and I’m shot

I was in grey/brown jacket, but my friends were the boarder in bright red jacket and skier in darker red jacket. Jason groomers should be sweet tomorrow.

I’m on Rustler 11s today, 112 under foot and they’re skiing really good. Bought them last year used, skied on them once and it felt like they only had a 1 degree on the edge, last night I put a 3 on them and they’re much better. Wife got one of her Christmas presents today, 2023 Sheeva 10...

There was a guy at the bottom of the lift for first chair that said he was from Milford PA and slept in the car at the Mtn last night so must be. Heavy but fun today. 11 runs so far, taking a break and heading back out.

Low angle where are you? I’m in the overlook. Bald head & beard say hi

Word is about 10” at the mountain and still snowing

The 4 lanes by Hurley heading in to Kingston has often had speed traps. Easy road to go fast on and the limit is 45 there. I haven’t heard stories of getting pulled over for only 5 over though. I pick up 28 @ Boiceville by the school and set cruise on 63 or 64 heading to the Mtn, never been...

Put my new snows on Saturday night in advance of the snow :) Wife says the skiing is terrible today

Yeah we were heading along about 50 and someone passed us. Not sure how far he thought he was going to get because it was a line of traffic but whatever. I mean I’m guilty, I’ve passed someone going 35 up 28 in the snow plenty of times but when there’s a line of traffic that’s doing close to the...

Great weekend at the Belle! Saturday was a beautiful sunny day and the snow yesterday made for some nice turns. I should have checked here, would have met up with you Harvey if I’d known you were there. We parked at Overlook as well. Today should be sweet, my wife left for the mountain about an...
