Belleayre Conditions

Looks like good coverage despite the weather we've been having. Never did I think Belleayre would be tied with or even ahead of Hunter on terrain availability at this point in the season.

What's the scoop on Hunter dropping off, Snow?
 
I skied Belle yesterday and was quite impressed with both the amount of coverage and the amount of open terrain. Seneca was my go to lapping it until late and it never got as icy as the rest of the mountain. One exception was Deer Run which is to be expected since it was less steep. I only did Algonquin once, a mix of bullet proof and ball bearings. lower mountain softened but the top never really did. Kudos to the snow makers and groomers. I wouldn't say this is a great weather start to the season but all three ORDA Mountains are skiing way more than we would normally with this weather. Thank you!
 
Skied mornings both Sunday and today. I thought everything open was in very good condition Sunday morning. They were still blowing snow on many open trails thru the moring. Lower Belleayre not quite covered edge to edge, but pretty close, much more so than Dot. Today, Dot Peekamoose and Algonquin all covered in whales presumably to get them thru the next few days of rain. Made for a fun day on those 3. Seneca was closed today from a burst pipe.
 
I’d imagine the warm, steady rain today (and the next two days) is going to set them back quite a bit. Maybe all the way back to scratch?
 
It won't wipe them out, but they'll need to make more snow on all of their open trails.
