Belleayre Conditions

Oh, and my big revelation of the day is that you can easily see Plattekill from the top of Deer Run. I did not know that.

This is one of the reasons that Laz gives for his snowmaking focus on the triple side...

"You can see it from Belleayre."

I’m guessing it’s pretty icy today with concrete moguls? Was thinking of going this afternoon and was hoping the sun would soften things a bit?

That's what happened yesterday but it was also warmer.

Decided to go today anyway and work on my tele turn. Beautiful day with more people than I expected. Waited in a few lines, especially Superchief. Sad to see all of those frozen bumps lol but a very good day overall.

Arrived yesterday at 1230 pm Beautiful sunny afternoon weather.
Up tomahawk down Algonquin sheet of ice. Mostly frozen water over snow.
Rest of groomed mountain not too bad. Very boring compared to last Wednesday.
Mostly went for the Brooks Barbecue afterwards.

Agreed. Nothing to get excited for. Spent more time in the tomahawk lot with the crew than skiing.

Skipping it today. Need either more snow or nice weather to soften it.

Hmm...are they really making snow? This is from the snow report for tomorrow (today's said the same).
