I messaged Belleayre on Facebook to ask if there's a write-up of the planned improvements/changes anywhere. Reply: "Not quite yet. Stay tuned."

Windham announced its last day is Sunday 3/30

Is the scope of work available online anywhere? Obviously it'll be bad if they mess up the character of the main floor. But the current downstairs (where I have spent most of my time in that building, unfortunately) is not great.

Got up to Belleayre yesterday morning for what might be my last day of the season. Bluebird to start the day. Very firm and kinda chattery for the first hour or so, which is what I expected. Started to soften after 10 and it never quite got creamy on the upper mountain but became pretty fun and...

Blue Mountain in PA made snow over the weekend even though they're not open again til Friday and temps will barely go below freezing all week. Thought that was pretty cool

Limited lifts and terrain open late on local days https://www.belleayre.com/todo/local-days/

Thanks for the report and pics, looks like a fun afternoon. Hoping to squeeze in one more half-day either Sunday or afterwards and weighing Windham vs the 40-min shorter drive to Blue vs paying the day rate for Belleayre. Would be interested in any intel on how it holds up through the next few days.

Been awhile since I've done Powder Puff but Roaring Brook in particular could be a green; Deer Run is also gentle but has one or two slightly steeper bits. It's a loooooong way across that ridge to RB from the gondola though, especially for a small kid... I have learned this from experience...

Dunno if they're going up next year, but the "base" day ticket rate is currently $225. They're charging 170 online right now for a ticket today. They're dropping Ikon next year. And to the best of my knowledge (would be interested to be corrected if wrong on this) they don't sell sharply...

Those are both considerably slower than the times listed in the Liftblog database which I assume are just calculated from max rope speed. I know lifts often don't run at max speed, but why do Hawk and Overlook in particular run so slow given that they serve no beginner terrain? Is it to...

Have the Ikon Pass this year so went yesterday for a day trip. Wolverine was good, Warpath was solid, everything else was icy. Blacks on the east peak were some of the ice-coast-iest stuff i've skied. I had taken my kid to Mt. Peter for a lesson on Thursday and skied while there, they had...

I was staying in the area over the weekend and got out there for a couple hours Sunday afternoon. Blacks on the main face had been scraped down to ice in spots but still fun, and upper Kidderbrook was great. Last run of the day I planned to take Supertrail back to the car but saw untracked lines...

Looks like they posted on Facebook two days ago that they're waiting on lift inspections but expect to open the lifts soon

Vail shareholder (not sure how big their stake is) calls for management team to be ousted: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/01/27/3015657/0/en/Late-Apex-Partners-Issues-Letter-to-Vail-Resorts-Inc-Board-of-Directors.html They want Vail to cut the dividend and focus on growing the...

Some links with useful information about Elk and Montage to be found here... https://nyskiblog.com/magazine/eastern-us/ I am not a tree skier but for those who are, I have heard that Elk does enforce its rules on this. It's very pretty and I like the trails and recommend it, but there's not...

I was at Magic on a late-morning Sunday last year shortly after they finally got the black chair up and running. No fresh snow so somewhat limited terrain and it wasn't a pow-day crowd, but it was a cold midwinter day. We didn't actually ride the black chair at all but red and green chairs were...

is there a good write-up somewhere about what happened here and why they changed the planned unload location/dropped the proposed new trails?

Not defending some of the other decision-making about the Ski Bowl, but wanted to push back on this a bit. I'm an intermediate on a good day, had my one trip to Gore a couple years ago on a cold/windy late Feb weekend when conditions were generally bulletproof. I was able to ski Backwoods...

Conditions report says they're making snow at Backwoods/Eagle's Nest and the Ski Bowl, is that not true? I would have thought those areas (plus making sure Sunway is in tolerable shape) would be priorities for MLK weekend.

I think it's funny that the snow report is showing Burnt Ridge lift as open to the public today but Echo closed for racing. So you're allowed to traverse over, ride the lift, and traverse out from the top? Back in the fall we tried to convince another family to do MLK weekend with us at Gore...
