First day at Belleayre today. Soft snow foggy up top. Hit the 4 ways down to the quad. Rode the Gondi 4 times also.
Hit some black ice on the ride up. Woke me up quick.
Missed th last Month of last season. Felt strange first run. 8 months off the skis.

Woke up early to rain drops so decided on a late start. Got to the mountain around noon. Fog was coming and going at the top but the visibility was never too bad. Had two brief rain showers but that’s it, and a little sleet around 3. Did 15 runs off the gondola and Algonquin, Peekamoose, Seneca, Dot Nebel, and deer run are open off the top. Lots open for early season and the new snowmaking capacity is apparent.

Heading up early in the morning. Not sure how the snow will be, it firmed up a bit last run but was still hero carving snow. There will be more people tomorrow and it will feel crowded in places as the trails aren’t edge to edge on coverage yet.

Team Turtle kicked off the season with 3.5+ miles of sunset Gondi hula-hoop skiing on the Taxman Glacier.

Life is good.

Y'all be making me jealous, still holding out hope to be out on snow before December, so long as my body wants to give up on not working the way it's supposed to. Anyone know if they will be staying open midweek?

It looks like full time from now on. Take care of the body and be ready for pow.

Saturday brought nice weather but with the overnight freeze and Belleayre’s exposure most of the mountain never really softened. Sunny all day, decent crowd but not terrible, heard 1200 people.

Today the snow was soft from the start. Snow conditions were very good, good visibility, high clouds with some blue sky at times. Skied till just now, 11:45, radar looks like rain is going to start any time. Legs feel the last three days in a row of skiing, certainly still in early season shape!

Low Angle yes open daily from here on out.

No people here today. Good weather yesterday and the forecast for today scared them away. I also hear there’s both football and soccer going on this afternoon that people are in to…doesn’t do much for me

Clouds just rolled in from the west and don't show signs of letting up. This morning was beautiful though, soft snow, good surfacing. This weekend... let's just say today was the day to be here. Lots of characters on the lift and mountain, great first day out!
