Belleayre 11/24..AZ day..

koreshot · Nov 20, 2007, 3:06 PM

I might be there, but at this moment, I am not convinced Belleayre will have that much good stuff open by Saturday. I would rather go to Hunter than spend 4 hours lapping lower Onteora - black diamond my butt! Even by Pocono standards that trail is a Blue at best.

Lower Onteora is a Blue..not a black..it's a fun run...I'm hoping they have another option for Saturday morning..or I'll at least be able to earn some turns on other trails. I'll be there around 9:00AM and probably ski until around 2:00PM..

Wrong on both counts. Onteora is a Black. Belleayre.com says so, and their trail map says so as well. And no, it is not fun. Last I checked, a trail with no pitch, no terrain features, no bumps, and no twists does not qualify as a fun trail. It is acceptable to and just a way to get back from the lift, but fun is an overstatement.

I do like the headwall section of the run though, very fun up there.

I agree.

Conditions sucked today. Fun in the AM, like spring skiing, but then the novelty of skiing this early in the season wears off and it's like "oh shit, half a trail 100 times a day sucks". Don't think they will be able to open anything more this weekend. Me and my friend hiked the upper section of Onteora and there was a good foot of nice untouched man-made powder that we hit up... but the rain the last few days killed everything else...

No rain at Hunter...a little warm when the sun came out.

Good snow.
