Printable Conditions - Belleayre Mountain

 

[Low Angle Life]

Bluebird and brick.

Rolled into the lot at 9am, car thermometer read -5, limited wind if any. Took a solo run on Seneca to start, snow was like velcro, I need colder temp wax, very easy to carve hard otherwise. Met back up with my lady for run two on Deer Run, the snow was actually too grippy for how flat the trail was, many jokes were made at Belleayre's expense. Crowds were manageable all day and the temperature got up to about 18 according to the car on the way out at 2pm. Nice mellow day over all wrapped up with a stop at Meredith's Bread in Kingston for some bakes goods.

Fun day with my 7 yo on the mountain. Our thermometer read -9 when we pulled into Overlook Lodge a little after 8 ?

But apart from the early cold, it was a classic East Coast weekend ski day. Blue skies, no wind, manageable crowd.

We rode blue runs all over the mountain. Lower Yahoo was the fan favorite - good corduroy, wide steady pitch, and no lines on Lift 7.

Very fun day at B , everything skied great Early. When we left145, some of the upper parts of mountain getting a little skied off.
Comparing it to Elk mountain, in Pa , which I skied Saturday. There are very comparable groomers wise.. Belleayre does better with low angle moguls and has glades, which Elk doesn’t. Belleayre has upped the snow making compacity over the years and caught up to Elk I feel now.
There is no lift riding pairing up fear at Elk that we experience at Belleayre. I worked the singles line all day at Elk and never was turned down pairing up 4 wide on the Elk quad.
Very fun 2 days skiing, alone Sat, with my son D on Sunday.

Thanks goodness for the gondola! It really makes the rest of the mountain more fun. Even though this was the most crowded I have seen the parking lots in a while (got there at 1), our worst line was 8 min on the express (all other waits on the express were less than 5 minutes).

Skied the express and triple all afternoon (no line, as always). Highlights were the bumps on B-run, whales on Area 51, and just generally pleasant cruising on Yahoo below the midstation. The kid was thrilled we made it down for one last run on the triple chair loading at 3:59!

p.s. Only did the lower half, but Cathedral was pretty decent, too!

 

[Country Gun]

We also did lower Cathedral also, pretty thin but still better than a sked off groomer. Looking up at the lower entrance coverage was way better on the part you had to hike to ski.

What a great weekend! Saturday was beautiful, full on sun all day. Hiked upper cathedral and it was so good we did it a second time.

Yesterday was good too but way more people and no sun. Skied 8:30 till 11 and called it a day. Busiest day of the season so far, cars were parked down to the skier bridge from Overlook when I left.

Wow today Belleayre's snowmaking upgrades are on full display. More whales and resurfacing everywhere. Trails in fine shape. Bumps on Yahoo, Tongora and Winnisook. Belleayre Run under the chair was pretty sweet. Trees open. Still bony and a little sketchy but very doable with limited obstacles. Good snow too still fluffy.

Skied with my oldest son today good times.

Tongora is sweet. Some of those bumps can get bigger than an SUV up top : )
