No crowds today at Bell. Last Saturday was much busier.

Thanks! Weird year where the normally busiest weekend of the year is less crowded than other days!

All the folks who have Limited passes are blacked out this whole week. I'd imagine that they couldn't really have any idea how many season pass holders would show up but had to reserve space for them anyway. They can't sell day passes if it could potentially take the place of a season ticket holder. For every season pass holder that doesn't show up, that's an empty seat on a lift. It sounds like their estimates were badly wrong, all over NY.

I was at Gore yesterday - had to buy a day pass because I stupidly got a blacked-out holiday pass. But I wanted to take my kid, who has no blackouts. Place was like a Tuesday, it was crazy. Last year I was there on the same day (Sunday of prez weekend) and it was a disaster. Hour delay to get in the lots. So much weirdness with Covid this year (aside from illness and death).

Thanks for the intel K and Q. We are heading up Thursday this week; I was planning hitting an hour Friday, Sat, Sunday before it got crowded but may be pleasantly surprised.

I went with a Belle pass this year because of these types of restrictions, but not sure it was the best way to plan from the mountians' perspective (Bell, Gore, Whiteface).

I got the season pass for all 3 with blackouts. Do not regret buying all three made the huge difference, wish I didn’t get blackouts! Never again. And Belleayre has been an absolute pleasure this year!
