Belleayre Conditions

[TheGreatAbyss]

You could say that about every ski area that’s not in Summit County

Not necessarily, IMHO 1000 feet of continuous steep suffices. Lapping JHole top to bottom killed my back.

Public comment closed in August.

I do have a copy of it, it’s about 70 megs. Perhaps Harvey would want to host it somewhere so people can see it?

The DEC commish signed the "Final” on April 28th 2023.
Here ya go.
FINAL PROPOSED 2023 AMENDMENT TO THE 2015 BELLEAYRE MOUNTAIN SKI CENTER UNIT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Looks like they’re proposing planning a ski bridge.

Gotta be more fun than a dang zip coaster thingy

If this is truly up to date, it looks like the Highmount connection is still very much a possibility, along with two new lifts to the west of Deer Run?

Appears to be hot off the presses. Basil Seggos (DEC) just signed it < a week ago.
The link is from ORDA’s Corporate web page.

This place looks nice.

61 acres in Ulster County, New York

A magnificent turn of the century Tudor style stone and timber villa is in the rural neighborhood of other historic country mansions. It is sitting majestically below the upper slopes of Belleayre Mou

Response to questions about Highmount:
"The Highmount land is not currently under the ownership or jurisdiction of ORDA. ORDA has consistently worked to modernize antiquated infrastructure within Belleayre and will continue to do so. The required infrastructure upgrades needed to support the expansion into Highmount will be phased in as appropriate. ORDA will consider sequencing an expansion when the components of land ownership, snowmaking, water supply, and electrical capacity are all solidified."

That bridge is kinky. They can’t make that thing a straight shot?

Just start on the right side of the bridge, point em straight to the left side exit.

Straight shot unless someone's in the way.

How does that help beginners coming from the East side trails? Seems easier to ski behind Overlook.
