Belleayre sold out again

[Zykamps]

Sold out sat, sun, mon. This has happened quite a few weekends this year. Curious as to how that number is determined. Is it a fixed number or maybe some program analyzing rfid scans? For example a check of my scans would indicate I have been there a bit, but never on a weekend so the odds of me being there on a weekend are near zero. Someone who's logged in most weekends this year probably will be there. Also how busy is sold out?

These are the great mysteries I ponder while loading woodstoves at 3am because for some reason it dropped to 12 degrees last night.

Probably a good thing.

Doesn't seem like so long ago when anti-Belle people used to goof on its ski-day numbers and argue that NYS should set it adrift.

I believe being sold out at any mountain means it will be very busy. Being sold out doesn't take into account how many pass holders will show up.

Gore’s sold out too for the weekend. WF isn’t.

If they're selling out every weekend, then they need to expand the mountain.

It accounts for it, but it's just an educated guess.

20% average weekend <----> 50% powder day weekend.

Gore earlier had ~180 tickets available for Monday.
It’s >640 this morning.
It looks like it could be a moving target for Gore.
Parking, snow, lodges, comfortable carrying capacity...who knows?

Or raise the price of admission.
