rgrwilco Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yeah they have improved snowmaking past few years. Not up to par with surrounding hills but it's something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Magic pushed back to 26th also, but the MRG weather guy has nothing but bad news. Models are coalescing around a warm up at X-mas. So the east will get a little bit of cold this weekend, then start trending warmer again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hunter pushed back reopening to 26th. Belleayre is the only day trippable still intending to open this weekend. Interesting that the 3 ORDA mts are the ones trying hardest in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Sorry no pix. The trail they had open was full width soft cover no ice, slush or bare spots, until parts of it got fairly scraped by 230, at which point I left. No lines. 18 runs. Top half was steep enough to make me gulp a bit, and bottom half still fun too. No bumps. Not making snow on open trail, focusing that on lower half of Mt so they can get some stuff open for novices too. As great a day as I could have on one trail of manmade with 800' vertical. There had been half an inch of so of natural snow too so everything surrounding still had a bit if frosting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bringing my phone with me on the hill tomorrow to take some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 No crowd. Rode lift solo more often than not. And 3/4 of people got off lift at mid station so steep stuff up top was the least crowded. Remarkable so few people were there on a weekend with this being the only skiing south of Gore or VT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Sorry, not really my thing, would rather focus on the skiing and leave my phone protected in a pocket, and don't know how to post them here anyway. Just providing info. If you want a pic of Belleayre yesterday there is a review with a photo at onthesnow.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice Dan a lot of people like to keep their phone in their car when they ski to avoid the extra bulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't a phone from 1990, it shouldn't cause bulk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
