Belleayre Conditions

Ok so I am apparently a bad negotiator. Going up and down Saturday, leaving around 5:15 am from Nassau LI. My better half agreed to drive back down, but no skiing Sunday and no going up Friday. Positive side it will be first full day of family skiing this year. Will balance that against the laws of powder day skiing. And of course my legs may not last long since early season and I am coming off an ankle sprain : )
 
Shooting for Saturday plus several days next week so nice timing for the storm - hope it pans out.
 
I will be driving up from Philly (long story) Friday morning. Hopefully I can be skiing 12-3. Then on to Gore for the weekend.
 
I had my first, and second, wipeout of the year, within a few seconds of each other. The whales on Dot Nebel looked so enticing until I realized that they were actually just impenetrable sheets of ice with a little dusting of snow on top. Shortly after my hilarious misadventure, I noticed that they'd closed the trail. :D

Other than that, Belle was glimmering today.

Saw patrol sled going to a place with some crossed skis and somebody down near the top of sunway at gore yesterday around noon.
Be careful out there folks. It’s still early.

I had first tracks down Dot this morning. One full trail ice spot about 20 yards long across the bottom of the first drop (is that considered the head wall?) but the rest of it was silky smooth. Had 3 great runs and it was closed by the time I got there for my 4th.
 
Belle is posting that they 'will' see 18-24 inches of snow in the next few days. Man are they getting aggressive. They used to be a bit conservative on future statements of snow. For example, in the past they might have said, ' we could see more than a foot of snow'.
