Pass holder day tomorrow, the 15th. Public on Saturday. Two runs off lift 8 with minimal amenities. As much as I have other things to do... I'm packing my kit.

Going to try to make it as well. Maybe a bit late but better late than never.
Sunday was awesome, glad they opened. Good coverage and great weather.

No Friday opening though, damn.
Webcam looks like a solid 6-8 so far.

18" reported. But they still plan to only have two runs tomorrow so probably not worth it for me.
Can't get to Belle again until Sunday.
I'm going to be using my new boots and footbeds, they always feel great in the shop. Hoping they feel as good when I actually ski. Same boots as my old ones, Dalbello Panterra 120's. Got lucky and scored a pair in my size from last year, no longer in production now. The Panterra was made to fit my foot, glad I motivated and got a pair from last year before they are gone for good.

Must be a staffing issue.
We skied Bell early Dec. in the middle of covid, and there was a similar storm and they opened 3-4 more trails, and looked the other way on poaching all weekend.

How crowded do you think it will be today? Thinking of driving over there for some afternoon runs

As we discovered when we went to buy tix. Thanks! Saved us about 6 hours of driving today.
Heading there tomorrow. Getting there before 8:30, hope that's early enough.
Assuming it will be crowded.

I remember that storm and poached a bunch. The difference then was that they did have a few more trails open including Deer Run t2b from snowmaking and the gondola was open.
Right now only Tomahawk lift is open, Route 9 is blocked off. Not sure poaching will be worth the effort.

I called off this weekend as it was sold out both days. First snow and no one else open in the catskills.
Curiosity what determines sold out? Terrain open, parking, or just an arbitrary number? There's not that much parking at lift 8 and I think it was mentioned no shuttles. If this is the metric it shouldn't be too crowded. Relatively speaking of course.
