Belleayre Conditions

[Jersey Skier]

Conditions were great yesterday. I spent a lot of my day riding the Triple just to avoid the lines at the lower lifts. My big mistake for the day was following 7 skiers past the turn off at the bottom of Cathedral Brook. Continued down (fun trail) to the sign that said "Hike Out." That wasn't fun at all.

Also the group of skiers I followed let one woman continue down further on her own all while yelling at each other. Turns out she was the wife of one of the guys who hiked out ahead of me. That's gonna be a long drive home if she lived.

It doesn’t matter if it’s Chamonix or Belleayre. Never follow tracks or people unless you know where you are going

What is the building at the top?

Not sure which one you are referring to, Harv. If by the Gondi, there is a really small Ski patrol shack. Maybe four human beings can squeeze in there?
If at top of Belleayre Express, that is a lodge that usually open on weekends, but probably not in Covid.

Top of the Gore gondi there is a pretty big building.

True. But a little more true at Chamonix. ?️‍

I just looked and yes that appears to be a storage barn. They should park all the cabins in there every night in my opinion. I’m sure they gave a reason not to but...

Belle was phenomenal yesterday. Heading back tomorrow more snow in forecast.

Great bumps on Belleayre Run they have not groomed it this season hope that continues. Natural trails like Utsayantha were great, Utsi perhaps the best conditions I've seen. Everything was fantastic. Trees all open and deep.

We stayed away from the gondi until 2:30 and hit Dreamcatcher then it was great with few tracks in it at all.

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.

In winter it smells like waffles.
In spring it often smells like septic.

hmmm..don't like septic...smells like ...NYC...ive had enough of that.
