Belleayre Conditions

[Harvey]

This from Belle:

"Deer Run, Lower Deer Run and Iroquois serviced by the Gondola, Tomahawk Quad and the Lightning Quad."

Iroquois is missing from the list of trails in the report.

That explains it

Really not a fan of the new map.

Anyone hit opening day yesterday, thinking about going tomorrow

Skied Belle today from 10-2:30. Deer run, lower Seneca and Tuscarora (for some reason upper Seneca closed they claimed it was icy). I avoided lodges and Gondi parked at Tomahawk stayed there all day that's where open terrain was anyway.

Same, except found a sunny parking spot at overlook for charcuterie and beer - no services but bathrooms were open for the mrs. Rode the gondola, loading solo and groups, all windows open, did not feel at risk. It made for som nice combo runs - Seneca mid/ lower deer run. Empty runs , nice snow for the slalom skis in the morning, switched to the orbs once it softened into hero snow, never got sticky. Not sure why they never finished grooming Seneca

Upper Seneca open today they didn't finish grooming it to keep it for the weekend crowds. That's going to be interesting today as the intermediates gather at the mid-station unload from Tomahawk. Sort of like bowling pins for the bowling balls rolling down at high speed.

I stopped by after visiting Plattekill. I had my Ski3 with me and it's right there, on the way.

Belle was excellent today. Snow was soft, coverage was good, and because I showed up at 1:30, there were no lines.

Ski3 didn't work again.

Loading a day ticket onto the Ski3 was not working online this AM... Quick answer from Belle staff, known issue should be good soon... **An FYI for anyone with the Ski3 Discount card- I was told you do not need to reserve/purchase the 1st day (its free w the Ski3 card), just show up and it should just work when scanned. Easy enough!

The Belleayre ticket buying section is still not working. Classic ORDA fail.
