Belleayre Conditions

[cerv1]

I’m seeing 3 to 6” snow in the forecast for Thursday and cold weather on Friday. Anyone considering one last hurrah??

Hell, yeah!

Everything left is gonna deep freeze though. 3 won't be that fun, but 6 might be enough.

All the gloom and doom with the weather made me think I might be done after 3/21. But the weather today was too perfect to pass up on skiing. Belleayre was fantastic with a variety of bump trails skiing really well.

Yahoo was the run of the day. Dot Nebel gets an honorable mention for being a total cornfest in the afternoon.
So that was day 35 and I'm looking to ski Belle again Thurs or Fri (or maybe both)?

I didn't really have any intention to ski today. but I peeked at the webcam while I was drinking my morning coffee and I saw powder. I was out of the house in 10 minutes.

My first run down was marvelous. I love making the first tracks on a slope. And nothing was groomed...just pure powder, which is quite rare at Belleayre.

When I got to the bottom of the hill, the lifty said they were having mechanical troubles and weren't letting people on. Furthermore, he said, the gondola wasn't running either. And neither were the other two lifts for intermediate/advanced hills. So the snow was delicious but there was no way to get off the beginner's slopes.

I know they were just doing what they have to do to keep people safe but still a bit of a disappointment.

Must be contagious as Gore just has only blues open on just the north side.
Green only to get to bottom.
