Belleayre Conditions

[Face4Me]

Gondi runs late on bad weather days (because like Gore I think) they don't have a cover for the cabins, so with big storms sometimes the cabin doors freeze up and need to be manually addressed. Believe Whiteface has a housing for the gondi cabins.

Yes ... There is definitely a storage garage for the cabins at Whiteface, but they VERY rarely bring the cabins inside. That would mean paying people for two extra hours a day. It only cost taxpayers $2.4 million for the replacement cabins and other upgrades they did this past summer ... why would you want to protect that investment?

Are there intermediate bumps anywhere on the mountain these days? Would love to get my kids in the moguls but am not seeing anything this year. That used to be Belleayre's specialty.

They are doing pretty good on this this year (best in four years?). Check out wanatuska, esopus, lower catherdral, mid belleayre run.

If you go to the snow report, click on the more difficult area, and you will see three bump icon for bump trails.

My guess is esopus will be best as it is most off the beaten track. Catherdral is proabably not actually bumps, just natural ungroomed chop, trees down, and creeks.

Thanks for the info. We did ski Belleayre Run today. There were some consolidated piles to bounce around on in the mid and lower parts of the trail but not the usual designated area with fully formed bumps. Maybe if they leave it as is, it will turn into that soon. Will check out the other trails you suggested.

Bell was da bomb today...best shape in a while. All the glades are in play. And it snowed all day..and still might be.

Was the Tomahawk lift running? Didn’t look like it on the Snow Report. Anyone know why not?

It’s annoying that if you want to hit anything on that half of the mountain you need to wait in line for the gondola.

No Tomahawk...they figure its expensive enough to run the gondi. Lines were a bit long but you get to stand there and ...smell waffles....which is a good thing.

Hmmm but Triple Chair was open. Why run the Triple Chair over the Tomahawk unless it is a mechanical issue?
