So, are the more educated thinking snow or sleet tomorrow at Belleayre? Planned on making the 2 1/2 hour drive in the morning.

Got a bit sticky today. I was reapplying Zardoz Notwax every few runs.

I think he could have stopped for autographs.

One guy skied up to me as he fell over and said "crap, I'd rather be at work." Speaking of work. Were any of you the guy who went into the bathroom and put on a shirt and tie for an 11 o'clock Zoom call? Gotta love the die-hards.

It’s 12:30 and I’m tired.

Same. Ignoring my Belle season pass for tomorrow.

Doesn't that exclude powder chasers?

What? Did you talk to my wife?

So, speaking of making arrangements. Where to sleep during this? My plan is to drive up Tuesday morning and ski Belleayre. If Plattekill is open Wednesday I'll head there, if not I'll do another day at Belleayre. While I'd like to sleep somewhere out there, my concern is that all restaurants...

Does anyone know if you purchase a "Belleayre only" lift ticket, does that give you any type of discount at Gore? I only get up to Gore a few days a season, so it's not really worth the extra $280 for the SKI3 pass.

If all goes as planned I will.

Just the top "steep" section. As soon as it the first pitch disappears so did the bumps. The balance of the run had been groomed flat.

There weren't any on Wednesday when I was there. Actually, there were some at the top section of Belleayre Run, but they were so firm I didn't see anyone touch them.

Tiring.

I could have used some groomers today. First day out and my legs were toast.

Today.

I went thru the kid thing. From 3-11 he'd come ski with me. Once he was in middle school he said "I'll ski with you any day you pull me out of school, otherwise, I'd rather sleep late on weekends. But, I'll still ski when we're away on vacation."

Maybe it's because I don't live near any mountains, but the I don't know anyone who buys a season pass unless they have a second home at a mountain. Some have bought Epic or Icon because they do a week out West.

Not great for the future of the sport. I see season passes ever drawing in new skiers into the sport.
