Belleayre Conditions

Was at Belle again today. It was empty - I lapped the groomers on the super chief lift for two hours, averaging a complete run every 9-10 mins.

It was pretty icy though. Moguls and glades were all closed.

Nonetheless, a fun day with lots of blue skies.

Pre pandemic, Belle was pretty much empty after Pres Day and after seasonal programs. Some of the best skiing is in March!
 
Belle today felt like an all over the place combination of hard pack, choppy but soft packed snow, and frozen granular. Some ice patches but nothing egregious imo. The trails felt a bit more crowded than usual. Superchief line was 12 min at its longest. 7 and Tomahawk both had short lines which surprised me (or maybe I'm spoiled from being used to those lifts being ride on). Overall I was expecting way more boilerplate today and I was pleasantly surprised.

How are the bumps at Belle right now? Still deep enough in the trees?

Bumps are hard as a rock and closed right now but they will be great during the warm up this week....

Today was beautiful, not a cloud in the sky. Groomers nice in the morning but got skied off, there were a lot of people.

There’s a lot of snow in the woods still but its locked under a crust.

Exactly how I would describe it today. Last couple runs were ice skating. Lots of big mogul runs but all basically closed.
 
Moguls were too cold?
