Usually by this date we have purchased season passes and put kids into the racing program at Belleayre. I have been checking the Belleayre web site, where for the past month or so it has said they are working on pricing and programs for the coming season, please check back. There has been some controversy surrounding the proposed Belleayre Resort, and more from the unfair competition alleged against Belleayre by Hunter and Wyndham.
I received this email from the Belleayre Mountain Racing Association, the youth program my kids participate in. It says to pass it on, so:

Hi All
Please take this seriously. Belleayre and our region need your support. NYS budget cuts are proposing a major funding shortfall for Belleayre Mt for the 08/09 season. The 08 Fall Festival for Columbus weekend has already been cancelled. The proposal for the winter is somewhere between operating one or two lifts with NO RACING, NO SKIWEE, NO ALPINE programs TO A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF BELLEAYRE FOR THE WINTER. Everyone associated with this community needs to support the continued operation of Belleayre. Please step forward and make your voice heard in favor of Belleayre Mt.
What can you do? Email or write DEC - www.dec.ny.gov/about/407.html
Email or write the Governor- www.ny.gov/governor/index.html
Thank You,
Ralph Combe Jr.

Dear Belleayre Ski Patrollers:
DEC has dealt Belleayre Ski Center a devastating budget. To this end the following has been decided:
The Octoberfest has been cancelled
Nursery will be not open
No skiwee, alpine development, or racing programs
Full time Patrol positions cut.
Limited snow making
Possible operation of only the Superchief.
What can you do?
Email or write DEC - www.dec.ny.gov/about/407.html
Email or write the Governor- www.ny.gov/governor/index.html
They need to hear from all of us. Do you know what this will do to Delaware and Ulster County economically? The Governor vetoed the proposed legislation to establish a Blue Ribbon Commission to look into public recreation (proposed by the lobbying of Green County - Hunter and Windham ). However, the same was accomplished by the budget cuts. They have killed Belleayre Ski Center , putting us back into the 70's and 80's. You may think I am being dramatic, but folks, if we don't do something about this, it is over. Send this to your friends and make this effort to contact the DEC and Governor mushroom. They need to hear from us so that they can understand the devastation this will cause.
