Secret NYskiblog tip for crowded days - bounce between 7 and tomahawk.

Also a tip, if you bounce between 7 and Tomahawk on crowded days you will spend as much time on chairs not moving as you would have waiting in the gondola or Belleayre Express lines and yet I do the exact thing myself.
Don’t think that isn’t running through my mind every time I get on those lifts. Belle Express is my go to generally. I love that lift. Yesterday, right by the lift was getting thin - a big dirt spot had formed early on right by the “slow” sign. I brought good skis yesterday so I was really being cautious and looking for good cover.

Surprised how much snow was lost in the warm up. More than the 1+” of rain on Xmas.
Surface was good, we found the bumps on yahoo, tongora and winnisook to be the best. I didn’t think the crowd was bad at all, 7 and 8 were ski on all day, 6 wasn’t bad, in the afternoon the skiers right side corral filled for a bit, but left side was pretty empty. Most annoying part as mentioned was the lifts constantly stopping. They groomed lower cathedral which was interesting. I’m afraid that’s going to be the norm.
Looks like warm for the next few days. Have stuff to do today but we’ll see about tomorrow and Monday. When it gets cold again it’s going to be quite firm.
Disclaimer that no snow had been made behind the lodge in this pic. It was all natural.

I have a theory that people have a difficult time transitioning to the non-detach lifts after riding the gondola and the Express most of the time. The stops are frustrating but it beats hiking.
