Belleayre, NY: 12/29/12

[jamesdeluxe]

After a hideous first three weeks of December, things are finally shaping up in the northeast, even as far south as the Catskills. Belleayre is reporting three feet in the last week and we got an additional six inches yesterday afternoon. The upper pitch of the mountain was, as often the case, one smooth turn for three scratchy ones; however, once below that, conditions were extremely smooth, with bootcuff-deep snow in the woods and along the trail. Westerners would be amazed how little snow we need back East to get the trees in play.

Since the seasonal weather is forecast to continue, they should be up to 100% soon.
