Really fun day at B today Lots of fresh lines to be had! Smaller crowd ,then when I was there last Sat. Not much under the snow that just fell, took so major Ptec shots, later in the day off any non snow making trails and off piste.

Great morning conditions across the whole mountain, seemed like about 12" at the very tippy top. Everyone was out to get it for what may have been the last hurrah, managed to miss @Ripitz despite parking 4 cars away, phones are a real struggle up there. After a first run on the Catskills highest widest XC snowboard trail we ventured to the south side of the hill. I made the hike out to Cathedral Glen figuring I would get it while I could.
It was a slow foot race to fresh tracks, I managed to beat this crew in front of me out to the top of the trail and when I got there was greeted with this.
It was my best run of the season, which isn't saying much but there was plenty of untracked terrain and the snow was deep and light with plenty of drifts easy to hunt out. Lower Cathedral was in significantly worse shape than up top, the brooks were running and poking out through the snow.
We rode pretty much the entire mountain throughout the day making use of the singles line on the gondola which kept laps quick. That was a good move considering how crowded the mountain got and how quickly things were getting skied out. I got a kick out of watching the parking stretch down the mountain road as we made our gondola rounds, we got some photos on the way out, one car was almost at Galli Curci...

Top notch day.
First one this year that I skied bell to bell minus the stop for Bloody Marys. We hid out on Lift 7 for mid-mountain fresh with little traffic. Nice to hang with the post Covid lodge rats.
Cool meeting @cerv1 and son ripping Area 51.
Made a few fun turns with Gski.
@Low Angle Life keeps the Bigfoot status.
Maybe someday I’ll catch @Country Gun
The season ain’t over.
Rip it.

It was great meeting you and your family as well! Seems there were a bunch of us on the mountain today … wish I could have joined you and Gski on Tongora.
This was probably our best day at Belle this season. We were the first ones in Belleayre Express this morning and the last ones on Lift 7 this afternoon.
The first few runs of the day were epic. We skied untracked powder until 10am, then it started to get more crowded. Even then, Lift 7 and Tomahawk were never more than a few minutes of waiting.
We mostly skied blues and easy blacks, but I had fun ducking into Belleayre and Lift Lines glades while my son skied nearby.
Conditions were still great by the time we left.
The kid had two big bowls of Mac and cheese for lunch — that’s how you know it was a good day!

I was up today, it was a hot 55 felt like 70 in the sun and I am burnt. Coverage is still mostly good, bumps on Belleayre Run and Yahoo are still running really good if you're into that sort of thing. Belleayre Express was having some issues mid day but I believe it got sorted. The snow got slow and grippy after 12:30.
