Belleayre Conditions

Some serious melt this week. Hopefully they can move some snow around tonight, especially by Overlook Lodge. Was about 65° and probably the same number of total cars in the lots!

Anyone who skied today or is skiing tomorrow is bad to the bone. I decided to clean my garage. Actually, I just took everything out, looked at it and put it back in. You had more fun. See you next year!

Saying goodbye to the Belle for now. I decided to remember her for our boot deep glory instead of seeing it all wither sadly. Maybe I should be more compassionate, but Imma bout’ to cast some flies.

A lot of snow melted in a week! Last week there was 1+ foot of natural in the woods, not anymore.

Most of the upper mountain trails had a lot of snow on them still, but it was very thin by the lodges. Today’s rain is going to kill access to lift 6. Also can’t get past lift 8 down to the gondola without a short walk. From what I understand they’re still going to try to make next weekend but we’ll see, looks like it would be lifts 7 & 8 only.

Skiing was super fun later in the day. It was firm early but softened nicely and the bumps were great. We did a lot of tongora-belleayre bumps- cross a stream to lower wanatuska bumps in the afternoon. Upper Belleayre, Winnisook and Yahoo also had bumps.

Not too many people to begin with but everyone left around 2. Rode 6 till last chair then walked over to yahoo for a last run down to the tomahawk lot to hang with the crew. It was a great day!

I was kinda hoping to try the pond skim this year.
