Belleayre Conditions

In that first pic the roof looks compromised? I hope they can save it, it's a nice building.

ORDA having tough luck with mids.

I’m curious where the slide started and what the trail looks like. It’s only about the top third of those runs that’s very steep. Most of that area is solidly in the intermediate category

You can see the mellow blue pitch in this pic from the TR linked above, which shows how much rain must've come down for that to happen.

Is that worth trying to repair? It looks like a teardown.

It looks to me like it didn’t take out any main walls. Might not be as bad as it appears

Its amazing something so low angle could slide like that. And, if you look at the photo posted above, it slide straight down to the grass.

That pic is Wanatuska the trail that slide is Yahoo, close to same pitch but steeper bank below the old triple lift. Flat area by lift probably pooled water , then blew out.

Sad to see

First Whiteface, now this? ... definitely an inside job

Wet slides are like that. They move really slowly but they keep moving even across long stretches of flat terrain.

They scare the crap out of me. I’m adamant about being off the back country slopes in the spring once things start warming up.

That was the wall and roof of the bump outs that the DEC added on at some point in the 80's.... they weren't exactly the most well built or nicest looking additions. The bulk of it looks to have hit in exactly the right spot on an easily collapsible wall, but one that's not apart of the main and original timber structure.

Heres an old pic of the lodge before they molested it with additions over the years. The bump out that was wasted by the snow is where the windows are in this picture.

Hopefully they tear off that whole bump out and do something nice because frankly they never were nice to begin with.

Welcome @Evantful .

Love that photo.

What year is it? Who owns the rights to it?

I'd love to use it in this piece:

The History of Belleayre Ski Center

The ski area development was inspired by the 1932 Winter Olympics.
