Belleayre 3/24/12

Skied the last day at Belleayre, super soft snow, good conditions and not so good conditions. But we managed to teach my cousin to ski for the first time and he even skied Wanatuska all the way down, surprising for the bad conditions.
Trail down to superchief very narrow with little snow in most spots.


last week this was covered side to side in snow...

Lower Onteora barely any coverage on the lower part of the trail.


The groomers managed to push snow around to make some small paths at the end of the trails.

Good coverage on on upper Wanatuska

Lower Wanatuska, bumps had good coverage super soft and fun





Snirt trail to get to upper wanatuska from the lift




had to walk to Upper Onteora from the 7 lift didnt look too good at first.

Amazing  coverage on the trail atleast 2 feet deep much deeper in the center of the trail


Crack on lower Onteora


I'd like to thank Belleayre for an amazing season even tho it was a very crappy winter they made the best of it, and even stayed open when they didnt need to but hopefully next year will be better!

Great report. I'm going to go hike in the Catskills a bit this week. Is anything left on Dot Nebel?

so sad

from what i saw pulling into the parking lot very little snow on the sides of upper dot and looked like upper seneca was skiable, but the upper part of onteora has a huge base that will definitely last throughout the week esoecially with the cooler temps at night

I can't believe that the long flat leading to the Super Chief lift had any snow left. Did they truck it in from the piles up top?

nope just pushed it up from the sides of the trail

updated the main page. There's nothing left on most trails, just a few patches at the top by Wanatuska is actually very buried. I'm about to put up some b-roll for the TR, too.
