Belleayre Conditions

Ha I thought about that. That's one building that is better than it was.
 
Welcome @Evantful .

Love that photo.

What year is it? Who owns the rights to it?
Thanks Harv! I'm actually a long time forum member, never realized I had yet to post on the new forums and never re-registered.

I grabbed that photo from The Coalition to Save Belleayre Mountain website a few years ago. There are a number of great historical photos and flyers. I have to imagine that photo is circa the late 50's or early 60's.

Here is another photo from probably the 70's or early 80's with the original masonry patio which houses the current bathrooms in the lower level. The vestibule by the chimney leads down stairs (and is stairs shown with the snow piled down them). The bump out that was hit hadn't been added yet. They then built the present day bar on top of that masonry patio and added the former wood deck. All that build out to skiers right really hurt the flow from the upper level to the lower level of the mountain.

All before it became this... T-111 siding and all. Really unfortunate that such a beautiful historic structure was so poorly modified in it's final iterations:

I remember you for sure. Really was saying glad you are back.

We had 700 members. Because Nabble is such a bit player there was no import software to make it all automatic. We've gotten less than 200 of our members back.

Back to Belle, I will reach out to the Coalition to see if I can use that pic. Love it.
 
While they are fixing up the place I hope they remedy that queer little step/ramp hazard inside where the bump out meets the original wall. I’ve seen many almost broken legs there
 
I'm hearing that there is video footage of the slide, and that it was not slow motion but quite fast. Pending an engineer's review of course, but there is optimism that the building can be saved. It is believed it will be back in action this season.
 
Skied at B today, They made a pretty good recovery , the two ways down had nice snow. Mid lodge was all cleaned up outside. Food truck in one of slide pics was now serving down at the Tomahawk parking lot.

Sweet. I hope we get to see it.

Thanks, Country Gun. How did you view the crowding/health risk or lack there off? Asking because I have a season pass; I went the Saturday after the storm and felt everything was safe except the booting up experience (folks close by without masks). Thanks for the intel in advance.

Did you have strangers booting up in the car with you?
