Belleayre and NYS Budget Cuts

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

but dont you find yourself by the end of the day over on the otherside doing power laps down dot

I like to start on Superchief and then work myself over to Dot Nebal..you can get to Dot Nebal from the Superchief but it's a long uphill slog..I wish they had a high speed quad on the Dot Nebal side..

What they really need, IMO, is some kind of way to get from the mid-mountain offloading station up to the top. The top little bit of that mountain is great, but the long runout is a bummer. Do they ever let you just load at mid-mountain like some other resorts do?

i agree a high speed would be dope. i will take maybe 2 runs on the cheif side then im out. too many human gates and i cant go fast without worrying about hitting some kid.

It looks like one of Ulster Counties finest politicians thinks he has the answer.

Donaldson proposes regional ski pass for the the Catskills

I don't think Donaldson gets it. If NY State cuts Belleayre's budget, then Ulster County and greater NY State will loose a lot of tax revenue from tourism. Restore the Belleayre budget first and then you can talk about promoting the entire Catskills region. Cut the Belleayre budget and more skiers will be staying home, going out west or going to Vermont for skiing and snowboarding. :smash:

Most def. I'll tell you what--Belleayre goes down & its the last time you'll see me in Greene County. Goes for all who I know to. First, this'll just make weekends worse--avoid it like the plague already. Carefull what you wish for Hunt & Wind, you just might get it. Secondly just on principle. Thats some nasty nasty stuff thats going on. Can't wait for the dirty laundry to get hung out to dry some day, see whose hanging from the line.

I like to use the speed gained from the upper mountain to cruise the lower mountain fast..I couldn't see doing a hockey stop at mid-mountain and getting back on the lift..but I like long runs..

Oh yeah and I've only ever skied Belleayre in April or November..

I hate having to pass by the lodge... I have to really slow down - worried I'll kill someone there...

NOBODY WANT BELLEAYRE TO CLOSE!!!!

Gawd.... Who from Hunter, Windham or Plattekill has said anything about Belleayre closing...???

Seriously - who's feeding you that crap? THATS the person that should hang on your line... The people feeing you the "dirty laundry" to make Hunter and Windham look bad...

Don't worry... No "Belleayre fugees" are coming to Hunter... I'm not even the least bit concerned... They go the Plattekill... Cause thats the cool place...

if they do... Cool... Welcome... Seriously... Let's ride... Im down with cool people...

As a skier i sit here wondering why its taking so long to make any decision and or let everyone know what the hell is going on, i can only get pissed.I have been skiing belleayre for last 5 yrs and have made many friends.I thought i found a place i could call home.Today,as i did yesterday and the day before and the day before that i scan the web for info that just doesn't exist.Each day getting more aggravated than the the day before.

As a part time ski instructor i am frustrated at the total lack of communication from the mountain.They must realize that many key instructors who rely on the paycheck have already aligned themselves with other mountains.Intern they must realize that there ski school was only as good as the ski instructors that were employed there. Lose key people and lose the heart and soul of the ski school.I am sure as a regular "100+days" and as a instructor i am not the only one feeling this way.

I can only imagine how the locals in the surrounding towns feel,how cheated and disrespected.Their whole economy ,their lives and homes teetering on an edge with out any control to which way it will fall.
Investment firms made bad choices and they get 700 billion dollar bail out.Christ all we want is a fully functional ski area to operate at 100 percent.I just don't understand the mentality, be it a political or budget based.

Rant over

Thanks
Pat

Skid, that is not a rant - it is a legitimate complaint. Why aren't local reporters asking more questions and digging for more info and reporting it? I suspect AZ user Catskills is closely connected. It has been mentioned before that Belleayre management monitors this forum.

Notice that others are looking for that non-existent info too. I bet at least four of the new posters (K2 four, facerplant, legalskier, evantrentful) are here just because this forum turns up on web searches for Belleayre. As a matter of fact, "Belleayre" must be on a top search term list somewhere, because it is on a lot of website invisible junk text to lure people to web pages with false hits. Below is text from my last Google saved "belleayre" search email, for example. None of these search results lead to anything about Belleayre or any of the other words listed:

Yeah... I think that as well...

Hunter most likely monitors this board too... But they don't need "schills" because they have me...

I should go out an court some of my anti- Belleayre expansion friends... Who live within earshot of the mountain... :smile:

Yup, you are right on the money. I am monitoring this forum because it seems to be the only place to find anything on the Belleayre fiasco. I was emailed a post by Tin Woodsman back on the 11th from some Belleayre folk, so you can be sure that it is being monitored.

Like Pat, I also work at Belleayre, I know a few management level people up there and nobody really knows anything.

I love Belleayre, however, I can't begin to describe how pissed off I feel. I have to start planning my season soon. Limbo can't last much longer.

Seriously - who's feeding you that crap?

Ok,ok--I really do believe nobody over there wants Belleayre to close...if by nobody you mean labor and customers. But man you can't tell me management aint behind that Coalition 4 Taxpayer Equality attack website (http://www.nytaxpayers4equality.org/) that dumps all over Belleayre, even with a petition to sign that puts a spin on that Madison Ave would be proud of. Buncha doubletalk if you ask me. Thats whose feeding us all the crap brother--you see it yet? And if they aint behind it, then who is cause I see nobody steppin up to the plate claiming responsibilities. They oughta rename it Coalition To Run The Comp Outta Town And Jack Up Prices...

Signing a petition is a much better thing then joining a message board just to push an agenda and lie to it's members.. Or spread lies from someone else to it's members.... One of which you are guilty of...

Hunter and Windham are totally behind that link... Any idiot can see that...
All you gotta do is google..

There is truth behind what they say and anything I've quoted - You on the other hand are either spreading lies or telling lies...

I don't get your point, DMC.... Everything in that position letter is old news, and the article is from March. Plus the opposition still keeps their numbers secret. That is a big gaping hole in their position, no? Are they are turning big profits on their overall operation, but greed might be driving them to make more? Maybe. But nobody knows, do they? Perhaps Bell should complain that it is unfair that they can not create a strong counter argument because the opposition's numbers are not public........

I am not trying to pile on, just looking for clarification on your post. It doesn't make much sense.
