No people here today. Good weather yesterday and the forecast for today scared them away. I also hear there’s both football and soccer going on this afternoon that people are in to…doesn’t do much for me

Saturday brought nice weather but with the overnight freeze and Belleayre’s exposure most of the mountain never really softened. Sunny all day, decent crowd but not terrible, heard 1200 people. Today the snow was soft from the start. Snow conditions were very good, good visibility, high clouds...

Woke up early to rain drops so decided on a late start. Got to the mountain around noon. Fog was coming and going at the top but the visibility was never too bad. Had two brief rain showers but that’s it, and a little sleet around 3. Did 15 runs off the gondola and Algonquin, Peekamoose, Seneca...

They’re up now, $64 daily ticket. That’s more than rack rate on mid winter weekend from just a few years ago.

Website snow report now says tomorrow (Friday) but nothing on Facebook or the front page of the site yet.

Algonquin opening for the weekend if not on Friday. Here’s hoping for a great ski season!

Took a ride over the mountain for lunch in New Paltz yesterday, there were many signs that the park was closed and many many cones set up on both sides of the road to keep people from parking and walking in. A state trooper was at the gate too. Good that it will reopen tomorrow. It poured all...

Completely agree. And you’re right, they moved the beginner area so it would be closer to the rental shop. It should go back close to where it was, where the pond skim last year was would be a perfect beginner area. But that would involve seemingly admitting they were wrong by moving it back…...

ORDA has posted the draft 2022 UMP for Belleayre here: https://orda.org/belleayre-draft-2022-umpa/ Public comment is open until August 24. Highlights include a new Lift 7 that loads below the top of lift 1 (Lightning) so skiers can get off 1 and load 7 to get to the top. Included in that is...

They did a great job!!!

Here’s the link to the RFP: https://orda.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2022/02/Plan-Room-RFP-MANUAL-BEL.21.014.001.pdf Start on page 122 It’s a big upgrade. 6 has been problematic since it was installed so this will be nice.

Lift 6 has a bad bull wheel bearing. New report says it will be down for several more days. At least they did make more snow. Snowmakers have been told snowmaking is over three times now. Probably is for real now.

I’ve got too many pairs of skis to count, but the last few years I’ve mostly only skied on my Blizzard Rustler 9 at 94 under foot. The partial sheet of medal combined with the tip rocker makes them good at planing up in deeper snow, and the metal underfoot makes them have some power for carving...

Monday was beautiful. The bumps softened and made for a really nice afternoon. I got a suntan too! Looks like Gore is the play again for us this coming weekend with the storm. Going to head up Thursday evening.

They did make snow on multiple trails and along with yesterday’s fresh snow today was pretty good. Tomorrow looks beautiful.

I’ll be there at least Sunday and Monday. Not sure on Saturday yet, I might skip it it looks bad which at this point it does. Hopefully the warm temps on Monday make it fun. Todays warmth is already eating the snowpack and it hasn’t rained much yet. Word is snowmaking is likely either done or...

Yes they were! Saturday was a good one!! I skipped it Sunday after the freeze but heard the 3” up top made it at least OK.

Drove up to Lake George Thursday night during the storm and skied Gore Friday and Saturday. That was a great decision! I considered staying for Sunday but in order to maintain the domestic tranquility index I headed home. Wasn’t even going to bother with Belleayre Sunday after the ice storm...

Awesome day today. Harvey it sounds like we were at the same place at the same time, glades off the BRQ were great this morning! Great day overall. Legs are beat. We’ll get some rest and do it again tomorrow. I would expect it to be busy.
